### **2. Integration Tests** ✅ COMPLETED
- **Purpose**: Test component interactions
- **Coverage**: Component boundaries and data flow
- **Dependencies**: Real component instances
- **Examples**: Service layer operations, repository patterns

### **3. Performance Tests** ✅ COMPLETED
- **Purpose**: Validate performance characteristics
- **Coverage**: Core performance optimization features
- **Dependencies**: Mock services and controlled environments
- **Examples**: Cache performance, async processing efficiency

### **4. End-to-End Tests** 🎯 NEXT PRIORITY

## Running Tests

### **Run All Tests**
```bash
go test ./... -v
```

### **Run Specific Package Tests**
```bash
go test ./internal/models -v
go test ./internal/database -v
go test ./internal/clustering -v
go test ./internal/performance -v
```

### **Run Tests with Coverage**
```bash
go test ./... -cover
go test ./... -coverprofile=coverage.out
go tool cover -html=coverage.out
```

### **Run Tests in Parallel**
```bash
go test ./... -parallel 4
```

## Test Quality Standards

### **Naming Conventions**
- Test functions: `Test[FunctionName]_[Scenario]`
- Test files: `[component]_test.go`
- Mock implementations: `Mock[ComponentName]`

### **Assertion Patterns**
- Use descriptive assertion messages
- Test both positive and negative cases
- Validate edge cases and error conditions
- Ensure proper cleanup in tests

### **Test Data Management**
- Use factory functions for test data
- Avoid hardcoded test values
- Clean up test state between tests
- Use unique identifiers for isolation

## Current Testing Roadmap
