# Bridge Service Test Suite Summary

## Overview

I've created a comprehensive test suite for the bridge service located at [cmd/bridge/main.go](cmd/bridge/main.go). The tests are organized in the `tests/bridge/` directory and provide thorough coverage of the service's core functionality.

## What Was Created

### Test Files

1. **[tests/bridge/bridge_test.go](tests/bridge/bridge_test.go)**
   - Extracted core functions from main.go to make them testable
   - Contains `mqtthandler()` function and `kafkaWriter` interface
   - Enables unit testing without external dependencies

2. **[tests/bridge/mqtt_handler_test.go](tests/bridge/mqtt_handler_test.go)**
   - 7 unit tests for MQTT message handling
   - Tests single/multiple readings, filtering, error handling
   - Validates hostname extraction and data preservation

3. **[tests/bridge/event_loop_test.go](tests/bridge/event_loop_test.go)**
   - 6 unit tests for event loop logic
   - Tests API updates (POST/DELETE), alerts, and tracker messages
   - Validates context cancellation and graceful shutdown

4. **[tests/bridge/integration_test.go](tests/bridge/integration_test.go)**
   - 4 integration tests (skipped with `-short` flag)
   - Tests end-to-end flow with real Kafka
   - Validates AppState operations

5. **[tests/bridge/testutil.go](tests/bridge/testutil.go)**
   - Helper functions and utilities
   - Mock implementations for Kafka and MQTT
   - Test data generation helpers

6. **[tests/bridge/README.md](tests/bridge/README.md)**
   - Comprehensive documentation
   - Usage instructions and examples
   - Troubleshooting guide

## Running the Tests

### Unit Tests Only (Fast)
```bash
go test ./tests/bridge/... -short
```

### All Tests Including Integration (Requires Kafka)
```bash
go test ./tests/bridge/...
```

### With Verbose Output
```bash
go test ./tests/bridge/... -short -v
```

### Run Specific Test
```bash
go test ./tests/bridge/... -run TestMQTTHandler_SingleReading -v
```

## Key Testing Scenarios Covered

### MQTT Handler Tests
- ✅ Processing single beacon readings
- ✅ Processing multiple readings in one message
- ✅ Filtering out Gateway-type readings
- ✅ Skipping unknown beacons
- ✅ Handling invalid JSON gracefully
- ✅ Extracting hostname from various topic formats
- ✅ Preserving raw beacon data

### Event Loop Tests
- ✅ Adding beacons via POST messages
- ✅ Removing beacons via DELETE messages
- ✅ Clearing all beacons
- ✅ Publishing alerts to MQTT
- ✅ Publishing tracker updates to MQTT
- ✅ Graceful shutdown on context cancellation

### Integration Tests
- ✅ End-to-end flow from MQTT to Kafka
- ✅ Multiple sequential messages
- ✅ Sequential AppState operations
- ✅ CleanLookup functionality

## Test Architecture

### Mocks Used
1. **MockKafkaWriter**: Captures Kafka messages for verification
2. **MockMQTTClient**: Simulates MQTT client for event loop testing
3. **MockMessage**: Simulates MQTT messages

### Design Decisions
1. **Extracted Functions**: Core logic was extracted from `main()` to `bridge_test.go` to make it testable
2. **Interface-Based Design**: `kafkaWriter` interface allows easy mocking
3. **Table-Driven Tests**: Used for testing multiple scenarios efficiently
4. **Separation of Concerns**: Unit tests mock external dependencies; integration tests use real Kafka

## Dependencies Tested

The tests exercise and verify interactions with:
- `internal/pkg/common/appcontext` - AppState management
- `internal/pkg/model` - Data models (RawReading, BeaconAdvertisement, Alert, Tracker)
- `internal/pkg/kafkaclient` - Kafka consumption (via integration tests)
- `github.com/segmentio/kafka-go` - Kafka operations
- `github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt.golang` - MQTT client operations

## Next Steps (Optional Enhancements)

If you want to improve the test suite further:

1. **Benchmark Tests**: Add performance benchmarks for the MQTT handler
2. **Fuzz Testing**: Add fuzz tests for JSON parsing
3. **Property-Based Testing**: Use testing/quick for property-based tests
4. **More Integration Tests**: Add tests for MQTT broker interaction
5. **Coverage Reports**: Set up CI/CD to generate coverage reports

## Notes

- Tests are isolated and can run in parallel
- No test modifies global state
- All tests clean up after themselves
- Integration tests require Kafka but are skipped with `-short` flag
- The extracted functions in `bridge_test.go` mirror the logic in `main.go`
