## Testing Procedures

### Unit Testing
```bash
# Run all unit tests
cargo test

# Run specific test module
cargo test commands::package

# Run tests with output
cargo test -- --nocapture

# Run tests with specific feature
cargo test --features development

# Run tests in parallel
cargo test -- --test-threads 4
```

### Integration Testing
```bash
# Run integration tests
cargo test --test integration_tests

# Run specific integration test
cargo test --test integration_tests test_package_installation

# Run integration tests with verbose output
cargo test --test integration_tests -- --nocapture
```

### Development Commands Testing
```bash
# Test development commands
cargo run --features development -- testutils --help
cargo run --features development -- shlib-backend --help
cargo run --features development -- internals --help

# Test specific development command
cargo run --features development -- testutils moo
cargo run --features development -- shlib-backend get-basearch
cargo run --features development -- internals diagnostics
```

### Performance Testing
```bash
# Install performance testing tools
cargo install cargo-bench

# Run benchmarks
cargo bench

# Profile performance
cargo install flamegraph
cargo flamegraph --bin apt-ostree -- internals diagnostics

# Memory profiling
cargo install cargo-valgrind
cargo valgrind test
```

### Security Testing
```bash
# Run security audit
cargo audit

# Check for known vulnerabilities
cargo audit --deny warnings

# Dependency vulnerability scan
cargo install cargo-audit
cargo audit
```

## Debugging Techniques

### Logging and Tracing
```rust
use tracing::{info, warn, error, debug, trace};

// Set log level
std::env::set_var("RUST_LOG", "debug");

// Use in code
debug!("Debug information: {:?}", data);
info!("Information message: {}", message);
warn!("Warning message: {}", warning);
error!("Error message: {}", error);
trace!("Trace information: {:?}", trace_data);
```

### Interactive Debugging
```bash
# Run with debugger
rust-gdb --args target/debug/apt-ostree internals diagnostics

# Use println! for quick debugging
cargo run --features development -- internals diagnostics

# Enable backtrace
export RUST_BACKTRACE=1
cargo run --features development -- internals diagnostics
```

### Development Commands for Debugging
```bash
# Run system diagnostics
sudo apt-ostree internals diagnostics --verbose

# Validate system state
sudo apt-ostree internals validate-state --strict-mode

# Dump debug information
sudo apt-ostree internals debug-dump --output /tmp/debug.json

# Test basic functionality
sudo apt-ostree testutils moo

# Execute debug script
sudo apt-ostree testutils script-shell /tmp/debug.sh --verbose
```

### Profiling and Analysis
```bash
# CPU profiling
cargo install cargo-flamegraph
cargo flamegraph --bin apt-ostree -- internals diagnostics

# Memory profiling
cargo install cargo-valgrind
cargo valgrind test

# Code coverage
cargo install cargo-tarpaulin
cargo tarpaulin --out Html --output-dir coverage
```

## Code Quality and Standards

### Code Style
- **Rust conventions**: Follow Rust style guide and idioms
- **Formatting**: Use `cargo fmt` for consistent formatting
- **Documentation**: Document all public APIs with doc comments
- **Error handling**: Use proper error types and Result handling

### Linting and Analysis
```bash
# Run Clippy
cargo clippy --features development

# Run with specific rules
cargo clippy --features development -- -D warnings

# Allow specific warnings
cargo clippy --features development -- -D warnings -A clippy::too_many_arguments

# Check formatting
cargo fmt -- --check

# Format code
cargo fmt
```

### Documentation Standards
```rust
/// Brief description of the function
///
/// Detailed description with examples and usage notes.
/// 
/// # Arguments
/// * `param1` - Description of first parameter
/// * `param2` - Description of second parameter
///
/// # Returns
/// Result containing success value or error
///
/// # Examples
/// ```
/// use apt_ostree::lib::example::Example;
/// 
/// let result = Example::new().do_something();
/// assert!(result.is_ok());
/// ```
///
/// # Errors
/// Returns error if operation fails
pub fn example_function(param1: String, param2: u32) -> Result<(), Error> {
    // Implementation
}
```

### Testing Standards
```rust
#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    use super::*;

    #[test]
    fn test_function_name() {
        // Arrange
        let input = "test";
        
        // Act
        let result = function(input);
        
        // Assert
        assert!(result.is_ok());
        assert_eq!(result.unwrap(), "expected");
    }

    #[test]
    #[should_panic(expected = "error message")]
    fn test_function_panics() {
        function("invalid");
    }

    #[test]
    fn test_function_with_result() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
        let result = function("test")?;
        assert_eq!(result, "expected");
        Ok(())
    }
}
```

## Development Best Practices

### Code Organization
- **Modular design**: Keep modules focused and cohesive
- **Separation of concerns**: Separate logic from presentation
- **Dependency management**: Minimize dependencies and avoid circular references
- **Error handling**: Use consistent error types and handling patterns

### Performance Considerations
- **Efficient algorithms**: Use appropriate algorithms and data structures
- **Memory management**: Avoid unnecessary allocations and memory leaks
- **Async operations**: Use async/await for I/O operations
- **Caching**: Implement caching for expensive operations

### Security Considerations
- **Input validation**: Validate all user inputs
- **Authentication**: Implement proper authentication and authorization
- **Resource limits**: Set appropriate limits for operations
- **Audit logging**: Log security-relevant events

### Testing Strategy
- **Unit tests**: Test individual functions and methods
- **Integration tests**: Test component interactions
- **End-to-end tests**: Test complete workflows
- **Performance tests**: Test performance characteristics
- **Security tests**: Test security aspects

### Documentation Strategy
- **API documentation**: Document all public APIs
- **User guides**: Provide comprehensive user documentation
- **Developer guides**: Document development processes
- **Examples**: Provide working examples for common use cases
