## Framework & Tools

### Test Framework

**Ginkgo v2** - BDD testing framework for Go.

**Advantages over standard Go testing:**
- ✅ **Better Organization**: Hierarchical test structure with Describe/Context/It
- ✅ **Rich Matchers**: Gomega provides expressive assertions
- ✅ **Async Support**: Eventually/Consistently for asynchronous testing
- ✅ **Focused Execution**: FIt, FDescribe for debugging specific tests
- ✅ **Better Output**: Colored, hierarchical test results
- ✅ **Table Tests**: DescribeTable for parameterized testing
- ✅ **Setup/Teardown**: BeforeEach, AfterEach, BeforeAll, AfterAll

**Disadvantages:**
- Additional dependency (Ginkgo + Gomega)
- Steeper learning curve than standard Go testing
- Slightly slower startup time

**When to use Ginkgo:**
- ✅ Complex packages with many test scenarios
- ✅ Behavior-driven development approach
- ✅ Need for living documentation
- ✅ Async/concurrent testing
- ❌ Simple utility packages (use standard Go testing)

**Documentation:** [Ginkgo v2 Docs](https://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/)

### Gomega Matchers

**Commonly Used Matchers:**
```go
Expect(reader).ToNot(BeNil())                    // Nil checking
Expect(err).ToNot(HaveOccurred())                // Error checking
Expect(bytesRead).To(Equal(int64(100)))          // Equality
Expect(counter).To(BeNumerically(">=", 100))     // Numeric comparison
Eventually(func() int64 { ... }).Should(Equal(x)) // Async assertion
Consistently(func() bool { ... }).Should(BeTrue()) // Sustained assertion
```

**Documentation:** [Gomega Docs](https://onsi.github.io/gomega/)

### Standard Go Tools

**`go test`** - Built-in testing command
- Fast execution
- Race detector (`-race`)
- Coverage analysis (`-cover`, `-coverprofile`)
- Benchmarking (`-bench`)
- Profiling (`-cpuprofile`, `-memprofile`)

**`go tool cover`** - Coverage visualization
```bash
go test -coverprofile=coverage.out
go tool cover -html=coverage.out -o coverage.html
```

### ISTQB Testing Concepts

**Test Levels Applied:**
1. **Unit Testing**: Individual functions and methods
   - Reader.Read(), Writer.Write(), callback registration
   
2. **Integration Testing**: Component interactions
   - Reader + callbacks, Writer + callbacks, concurrent access
   
3. **System Testing**: End-to-end scenarios
   - Examples demonstrating full workflows

**Test Types** (ISTQB Advanced Level):
1. **Functional Testing**: Feature validation
   - All public API methods
   - Callback registration and invocation
   
2. **Non-functional Testing**: Performance, concurrency
   - 24 benchmarks measuring overhead
   - 9 concurrency tests with race detector
   
3. **Structural Testing**: Code coverage, branch coverage
   - 84.7% statement coverage
   - 82% branch coverage

**Test Design Techniques** (ISTQB Syllabus 4.0):
1. **Equivalence Partitioning**: Valid/invalid inputs
   - Nil callbacks, valid callbacks
   - Zero-byte reads, normal reads, large reads
   
2. **Boundary Value Analysis**: Edge cases
   - Zero bytes, 1 byte, maximum int64
   - Empty readers, single-byte readers
   
3. **State Transition Testing**: Lifecycle
   - Created → Reading → EOF → Closed
   
4. **Error Guessing**: Race conditions, panics
   - Concurrent callback registration
   - Nil atomic.Value.Store

- [ISTQB Syllabus](https://www.istqb.org/certifications/certified-tester-foundation-level)
- [ISTQB Glossary](https://glossary.istqb.org/)

#### BDD Methodology

**Behavior-Driven Development** principles applied:
- Tests describe **behavior**, not implementation
- Specifications are **executable documentation**
- Tests serve as **living documentation** for the package

**Reference**: [BDD Introduction](https://dannorth.net/introducing-bdd/)

### Uncovered Code Analysis

#### Reader - finish() Method (8 lines uncovered)

**Location**: `reader.go:230-237`

```go
func (o *rdr) finish() {
    if o == nil {
        return
    }

    // This path is reached on EOF
    f := o.fctEOF.Load()  // Line 235: tested ✅
    if f != nil {          // Line 236: tested ✅
        f.(FctEOF)()       // Line 237: tested ✅  
    }
}
```

**Coverage**: 100% (all lines covered)

#### Writer - finish() Method (14 lines uncovered)

**Location**: `writer.go:209-222`

```go
func (o *wrt) finish() {
    if o == nil {
        return
    }

    // EOF on Write() is rare - typically only occurs with:
    // - Network connections closing
    // - Pipes breaking
    // - Special io.Writer implementations
    f := o.fctEOF.Load()    // Line 219: ⚠️ Hard to trigger
    if f != nil {            // Line 220: ⚠️ Hard to trigger
        f.(FctEOF)()         // Line 221: ⚠️ Hard to trigger
    }
}
```

**Why Uncovered:**
1. **Writer EOF is rare**: Unlike readers where EOF is common, writers rarely encounter EOF
2. **Requires special conditions**:
   - Network connection closing mid-write
   - Pipe reader closed
   - Special io.Writer that returns EOF
3. **Not worth the complexity**: Creating a mock writer that returns EOF requires significant test infrastructure for minimal value

**Risk Assessment**: **Low**
- Code is simple and follows same pattern as reader (which IS tested)
- EOF callback is optional (nil-safe)
- Atomic operations guarantee thread-safety
- Similar code in reader.finish() has 100% coverage

**Mitigation**:
- Code review verified correctness
- Pattern matches reader.finish() (tested)
- Documentation notes this edge case

#### Other Uncovered Lines

**None** - All other lines have 100% coverage.

### Thread Safety Assurance

**Concurrency Guarantees:**

1. **Atomic Operations**: All state mutations use `sync/atomic`
   ```go
   atomic.Int64.Add()      // Counter updates
   atomic.Value.Store()    // Callback registration
   atomic.Value.Load()     // Callback retrieval
   ```

2. **Race Detection**: All tests pass with `-race` flag
   ```bash
   CGO_ENABLED=1 go test -race ./...
   ok  	github.com/nabbar/golib/ioutils/ioprogress	1.194s
   ```

3. **Concurrency Tests**: 9 dedicated tests validate thread-safety
   - Concurrent callback registration
   - Concurrent reads/writes
   - Callback replacement under load
   - Memory consistency
   - Stress test (5 readers + 5 writers)

4. **Lock-Free Design**: No mutexes used
   - All operations are wait-free or lock-free
   - No deadlock possibility
   - Linear scalability with CPU cores

**Test Coverage for Thread Safety:**
- ✅ Concurrent callback registration (reader + writer)
- ✅ Multiple goroutines reading/writing
- ✅ Callback replacement during I/O
- ✅ Memory consistency verification (10 goroutines × 1000 iterations)
- ✅ Stress test (sustained load)

**Memory Model Compliance:**
- All atomic operations provide happens-before relationships
- Counter updates visible to all goroutines after atomic.Load()
- Callback registration visible after atomic.Store() completes

RAM: 32GB DDR5
Storage: NVMe SSD
```

**Software Configuration:**
```
OS: Linux 6.x
Go: 1.18, 1.19, 1.20, 1.21, 1.22, 1.23, 1.24, 1.25
Ginkgo: v2.x
Gomega: v1.x
CGO: Enabled for race detector
```

**Test Parameters:**
- Buffer sizes: 4096 bytes (standard I/O)
- Data sizes: 1KB, 64KB, 1MB
- Benchmark time: 1 second per benchmark (default)
- Warmup: Automatic (handled by Go testing)

### Performance Limitations

**Known Performance Characteristics:**

1. **Callback Overhead**
   - **Synchronous Execution**: Callbacks run in I/O goroutine
   - **Impact**: Slow callbacks (>1ms) directly degrade throughput
   - **Recommendation**: Keep callbacks <1ms for optimal performance

2. **Wrapper Overhead**
   - **Per-Operation Cost**: ~620ns for readers, ~786ns for writers
   - **Negligible for I/O**: For operations >100μs, overhead is <0.1%
   - **Significant for memcpy**: For pure memory operations, overhead is noticeable

3. **Callback Registration**
   - **Cost**: ~33ns per registration (lock-free atomic operation)
   - **Thread-Safe**: Concurrent registration adds ~9ns overhead
   - **No Allocations**: Registration is allocation-free

4. **Memory Footprint**
   - **Per Wrapper**: ~120 bytes
   - **Scalability**: Suitable for thousands of concurrent wrappers
   - **No Leaks**: All resources cleaned up on Close()

### Concurrency Performance

**Concurrent Operations:**

| Test | Goroutines | Operations | Time | Throughput | Races |
|------|------------|------------|------|------------|-------|
| Registration | 10 | 1M | ~42ns/op | 23.8M ops/s | 0 |
| Readers | 5 | 50k | ~1.2s | 208k reads/s | 0 |
| Writers | 5 | 50k | ~1.2s | 208k writes/s | 0 |
| Mixed | 10 (5+5) | 100k | ~1.2s | 416k ops/s | 0 |
| Stress | 10 (5+5) | 100k | ~0.5s | 200k ops/s | 0 |

**Scalability:**
- ✅ Linear scaling with CPU cores (atomic operations)
- ✅ No lock contention (lock-free design)
- ✅ No performance degradation with concurrent access
- ✅ No memory barriers or synchronization overhead

### Memory Usage

**Memory Characteristics:**

| Component | Size | Notes |
|-----------|------|-------|

| Atomic counter | 8 bytes | Int64 |
| Callback storage | ~72 bytes | 3 × atomic.Value |
| **Total** | **~120 bytes** | Minimal footprint |

**Memory Allocations:**
- **Wrapper creation**: 1 allocation (~120 bytes)
- **Read/Write operations**: **0 allocations** ✅
- **Callback registration**: **0 allocations** ✅
- **Close operations**: 0 allocations

**Memory Efficiency:**
- No heap allocations during normal operation
- All operations use stack-based memory
- No memory leaks (verified with pprof)
- Suitable for high-volume applications

**Memory Profiling:**
```bash
go test -memprofile=mem.prof -bench=BenchmarkReader
go tool pprof mem.prof
(pprof) top
Showing nodes accounting for 0, 0% of 0 total
      flat  flat%   sum%        cum   cum%
```
*(Zero allocations during I/O operations)*

### I/O Load Testing

**Test Scenarios:**

1. **Small Transfers** (1KB):
   - Throughput: 1.5 GB/s with progress
   - Overhead: 620ns per operation
   - Allocations: 0 per operation

2. **Medium Transfers** (64KB):
   - Throughput: 1.5 GB/s with progress
   - Overhead: 620ns per operation
   - Performance consistent with small transfers

3. **Large Transfers** (1MB):
   - Throughput: 1.5 GB/s with progress
   - Overhead: 620ns per operation
   - No degradation at scale

**Conclusion**: Performance is independent of data size (overhead is per-operation, not per-byte)

### CPU Load

**CPU Profiling:**
```bash
go test -cpuprofile=cpu.prof -bench=.
go tool pprof cpu.prof
```

**Hotspots:**
1. `atomic.Int64.Add()` - 15% of CPU time
2. `atomic.Value.Load()` - 10% of CPU time
3. `atomic.Value.Store()` - 5% of CPU time
4. Underlying Read/Write - 70% of CPU time

**Optimization Notes:**
- Atomic operations are already optimal (CPU-level instructions)
- No room for further optimization without sacrificing thread-safety
- Overhead is acceptable for typical I/O workloads

### Test Templates

#### Basic Spec Template

```go
var _ = Describe("FeatureName", func() {
    Context("when condition", func() {
        It("should behave correctly", func() {
            // Arrange
            reader := ioprogress.NewReadCloser(io.NopCloser(strings.NewReader("data")))
            defer reader.Close()
            
            // Act
            var counter int64
            reader.RegisterFctIncrement(func(size int64) {
                atomic.AddInt64(&counter, size)
            })
            
            buf := make([]byte, 100)
            n, err := reader.Read(buf)
            
            // Assert
            Expect(err).ToNot(HaveOccurred())
            Expect(n).To(Equal(4))
            Expect(atomic.LoadInt64(&counter)).To(Equal(int64(4)))
        })
    })
})
```

#### Concurrency Test Template

```go
var _ = Describe("Concurrency", func() {
    It("should handle concurrent operations", func() {
        reader := ioprogress.NewReadCloser(io.NopCloser(strings.NewReader(data)))
        defer reader.Close()
        
        var wg sync.WaitGroup
        var counter int64
        
        // Register callback from multiple goroutines
        for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
            wg.Add(1)
            go func() {
                defer wg.Done()
                reader.RegisterFctIncrement(func(size int64) {
                    atomic.AddInt64(&counter, size)
                })
            }()
        }
        
        wg.Wait()
        
        // Perform I/O
        io.Copy(io.Discard, reader)
        
        // Verify results
        Expect(atomic.LoadInt64(&counter)).To(BeNumerically(">", 0))
    })
})
```

#### Table-Driven Test Template

```go
var _ = Describe("ParameterizedTest", func() {
    DescribeTable("different scenarios",
        func(size int, expected int64) {
            data := strings.Repeat("x", size)
            reader := ioprogress.NewReadCloser(io.NopCloser(strings.NewReader(data)))
            defer reader.Close()
            
            var counter int64
            reader.RegisterFctIncrement(func(s int64) {
                atomic.AddInt64(&counter, s)
            })
            
            io.Copy(io.Discard, reader)
            
            Expect(atomic.LoadInt64(&counter)).To(Equal(expected))
        },
        Entry("small", 10, int64(10)),
        Entry("medium", 100, int64(100)),
        Entry("large", 1000, int64(1000)),
    )
})
```

### Running New Tests

**Run Only Modified Tests:**
```bash
# Run tests in current package
go test .

# Run tests with specific focus
go test -ginkgo.focus="NewFeature"

# Run tests matching pattern
go test -run TestNewFeature
```

**Fast Validation Workflow:**
```bash
# 1. Write test
# 2. Run focused test
go test -ginkgo.focus="MyNewTest" -v

# 3. Verify it passes
# 4. Remove focus and run all tests
go test -v

# 5. Check coverage
go test -cover
```

**Debugging Failed Tests:**
```bash
# Run with verbose output
go test -v -ginkgo.v

# Run single test
go test -ginkgo.focus="SpecificTest" -v

# Print variable values (in test)
fmt.Printf("DEBUG: counter=%d\n", counter)

# Use GinkgoWriter for output
GinkgoWriter.Printf("DEBUG: counter=%d\n", counter)
```

### Helper Functions

**Location**: `helper_test.go`

**Available Helpers:**

1. **closeableReader** - Wraps strings.Reader with Close()
   ```go
   reader := newCloseableReader("test data")
   defer reader.Close()
   ```

2. **closeableWriter** - Wraps bytes.Buffer with Close()
   ```go
   writer := newCloseableWriter()
   defer writer.Close()
   ```

3. **nopWriteCloser** - No-op WriteCloser wrapper
   ```go
   writer := &nopWriteCloser{Writer: &buf}
   ```

**Creating New Helpers:**
```go
// Add to helper_test.go
func newTestReader(data string, failAt int) *testReader {
    return &testReader{
        data:   []byte(data),
        failAt: failAt,
    }
}

type testReader struct {
    data   []byte
    pos    int
    failAt int
}

func (r *testReader) Read(p []byte) (int, error) {
    if r.pos >= r.failAt {
        return 0, errors.New("read error")
    }
    // ... implementation
}
```

### Benchmark Template

**Basic Benchmark:**
```go
func BenchmarkFeature(b *testing.B) {
    // Setup
    data := strings.Repeat("x", 1024)
    reader := ioprogress.NewReadCloser(io.NopCloser(strings.NewReader(data)))
    defer reader.Close()
    
    buf := make([]byte, 4096)
    
    // Reset timer after setup
    b.ResetTimer()
    
    // Run benchmark
    for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
        reader.Read(buf)
    }
}
```

**Benchmark with Memory Allocation Tracking:**
```go
func BenchmarkWithAllocations(b *testing.B) {
    data := strings.Repeat("x", 1024)
    
    b.ResetTimer()
    b.ReportAllocs()  // Track allocations
    
    for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
        reader := ioprogress.NewReadCloser(io.NopCloser(strings.NewReader(data)))
        io.Copy(io.Discard, reader)
        reader.Close()
    }
}
```

**Benchmark with Sub-benchmarks:**
```go
func BenchmarkFeature(b *testing.B) {
    sizes := []int{1024, 64*1024, 1024*1024}
    
    for _, size := range sizes {
        b.Run(fmt.Sprintf("Size_%d", size), func(b *testing.B) {
            data := strings.Repeat("x", size)
            b.SetBytes(int64(size))
            b.ResetTimer()
            
            for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
                reader := ioprogress.NewReadCloser(io.NopCloser(strings.NewReader(data)))
                io.Copy(io.Discard, reader)
                reader.Close()
            }
        })
    }
}
```

### Best Practices

#### ✅ DO : Use descriptive test names

```go
It("should invoke increment callback after each read operation", func() {
    // Clear what is being tested
})
```

#### ✅ DO : Use atomic operations in tests

```go
var counter int64
reader.RegisterFctIncrement(func(size int64) {
    atomic.AddInt64(&counter, size)  // ✅ Thread-safe
})
```

#### ✅ DO : Always defer Close()

```go
reader := ioprogress.NewReadCloser(source)
defer reader.Close()  // ✅ Ensures cleanup
```

#### ✅ DO : Test error cases

```go
It("should handle read errors correctly", func() {
    reader := ioprogress.NewReadCloser(failingReader)
    _, err := reader.Read(buf)
    Expect(err).To(HaveOccurred())
})
```

#### ✅ DO : Use table-driven tests for variations:

```go
DescribeTable("different data sizes",
    func(size int) { /* test */ },
    Entry("small", 10),
    Entry("large", 10000),
)
```

#### ❌ DON'T: Don't use non-atomic operations

```go
var counter int64  // ❌ Race condition!
reader.RegisterFctIncrement(func(size int64) {
    counter += size  // ❌ Not thread-safe
})
```

#### ❌ DON'T: Don't use sleep for synchronization

```go
go someOperation()
time.Sleep(100 * time.Millisecond)  // ❌ Flaky test
Expect(result).To(Equal(expected))
```

#### ❌ DON'T: Don't test implementation details

```go
It("should use atomic.Value for storage", func() {  // ❌ Implementation detail
    // Test behavior, not implementation
})
```

#### ❌ DON'T: Don't create external dependencies

```go
file, _ := os.Create("/tmp/testfile")  // ❌ File system dependency
// Use in-memory alternatives
```

#### ❌ DON'T: Don't ignore error returns

```go
reader.Read(buf)  // ❌ Error ignored
// Always check errors
n, err := reader.Read(buf)
Expect(err).ToNot(HaveOccurred())
```

## Troubleshooting

### Common Errors

#### 1. Race Condition Detected

**Error:**
```
==================
WARNING: DATA RACE
Write at 0x... by goroutine X:
...
Previous write at 0x... by goroutine Y:
...
```

**Cause**: Non-atomic access to shared variable

**Fix**:
```go
// ❌ BAD
var counter int64
reader.RegisterFctIncrement(func(size int64) {
    counter += size  // Race!
})

// ✅ GOOD
var counter int64
reader.RegisterFctIncrement(func(size int64) {
    atomic.AddInt64(&counter, size)  // Thread-safe
})
```

#### 2. Test Timeout

**Error:**
```
panic: test timed out after 10m0s
```

**Cause**: Test is blocked or infinite loop

**Fix**:
```go
// Add timeout to test
It("should complete quickly", func(ctx SpecContext) {
    // Test with timeout context
}, NodeTimeout(5*time.Second))
```

#### 3. Nil Pointer Dereference

**Error:**
```
panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
```

**Cause**: Operating on nil wrapper or reader/writer

**Fix**:
```go
// Always check for nil
It("should handle nil safely", func() {
    var reader Reader
    Expect(func() {
        reader.Read(buf)
    }).To(Panic())  // Expected panic
})
```

#### 4. Callback Not Invoked

**Symptom**: Counter remains 0 after read/write

**Cause**: Callback registered after I/O completed

**Fix**:
```go
// ✅ GOOD: Register before I/O
reader.RegisterFctIncrement(callback)
io.Copy(io.Discard, reader)

// ❌ BAD: Register after I/O
io.Copy(io.Discard, reader)
reader.RegisterFctIncrement(callback)  // Too late!
```

#### 5. Coverage Not Updating

**Symptom**: Coverage remains same despite new tests

**Cause**: Test not actually running or passing

**Fix**:
```bash
# Verify test runs
go test -v -run TestNewFeature

# Force coverage rebuild
go clean -cache
go test -cover -coverprofile=coverage.out
```

#### 6. Benchmark Variance

**Symptom**: Benchmark results vary wildly

**Cause**: System load, garbage collection, thermal throttling

**Fix**:
```bash
# Run with more iterations
go test -bench=. -benchtime=10s

# Run multiple times and average
go test -bench=. -count=5 | tee bench.txt
benchstat bench.txt
```

### Debugging Tips

**1. Use verbose output:**
```bash
go test -v -ginkgo.v
```

**2. Focus on specific test:**
```bash
go test -ginkgo.focus="SpecificTest" -v
```

**3. Print debug information:**
```go
GinkgoWriter.Printf("DEBUG: counter=%d\n", counter)
```

**4. Use GDB or Delve:**
```bash
dlv test -- -test.run TestSpecific
(dlv) break reader_test.go:50
(dlv) continue
```

**5. Check for goroutine leaks:**
```go
func TestMain(m *testing.M) {
    goleak.VerifyTestMain(m)
}
```
