🎯 AAA Testing Methodology
The Arrange-Act-Assert (AAA) pattern ensures consistent, readable, and maintainable tests for all bug fixes.
1. Arrange
Set up the test environment and conditions. Initialize all required data, mock dependencies, and prepare the system for the test.
Example: Load test data, create mock functions, initialize components.
2. Act
Execute the specific behavior being tested. Perform the action that should trigger the expected outcome.
Example: Call a function, click a button, submit a form, trigger an event.
3. Assert
Verify the outcome matches expectations. Check that the system behaves correctly and produces the expected results.
Example: Verify function output, check DOM state, confirm API calls were made.
🔒 CIA Triad Compliance
The CIA triad (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability) is the foundation of our security approach for all bug fixes and new features.
Confidentiality
Ensure sensitive data is protected and only accessible to authorized users.
Implementation:
- API keys stored in environment variables (not code)
- Server-side proxy functions for API calls
- No secrets in client-side code
- Admin authentication required for sensitive operations
Integrity
Maintain accuracy and consistency of data throughout its lifecycle.
Implementation:
- Admin-verified data takes precedence over inferred data
- Database constraints prevent invalid data
- Input validation on all forms
- Version control for code changes
Availability
Ensure systems and data are accessible when needed by authorized users.
Implementation:
- Graceful error handling and fallbacks
- Caching for performance and resilience
- CDN for static assets
- Progressive enhancement for core features
