- [ ] Performance impact - Run heavy tests in parallel
- [ ] Flaky tests - Proper async handling and isolation
### Process Risks
- [ ] Slow adoption - Provide training and examples
- [ ] Coverage gaming - Review test quality, not just numbers
- [ ] Maintenance burden - Automate what's possible
- [ ] Integration complexity - Use test containers

### Revised Technical Metrics
- Coverage: Currently 87.8% for unit tests
- Integration test pass rate: Target 100% (currently 76%)
- Performance: Adjust thresholds based on reality
- Reliability: Fix flaky tests during repair
- Speed: CI pipeline < 5 minutes (~2 minutes)
### Team Metrics

- Tests reviewed in PRs
- No production bugs from tested code
- Improved development velocity
## Phases Completed
- **Phase 0**: Immediate Fixes COMPLETED
- **Phase 1**: Vitest Migration COMPLETED
- **Phase 2**: Test Infrastructure COMPLETED
- **Phase 3**: Unit Tests (All 943 tests) COMPLETED

- **Phase 3.8**: CI/CD & Infrastructure COMPLETED
- **Phase 4**: Integration Tests 🚧 IN PROGRESS
- **Status**: 58 out of 246 tests failing (23.6% failure rate)
- **CI Issue**: Tests appear green due to `|| true` error suppression
- **Categories of Failures**:
- Database: 9 tests (state isolation, FTS5 syntax)
- MCP Protocol: 16 tests (response structure in error-handling.test.ts)
- MSW: 6 tests (not initialized properly)
- FTS5 Search: 7 tests (query syntax issues)
- Session Management: 5 tests (async cleanup)
- Performance: 15 tests (threshold mismatches)
- **Next Steps**:
1. Get team buy-in for "red" CI
2. Remove `|| true` from workflow
3. Fix tests systematically by category
- **Phase 5**: E2E Tests 🔄 PENDING
