# Testing Guide The SerDes Validation Framework includes a comprehensive testing infrastructure with 91+ core tests, advanced mock implementations, and multi-protocol integration testing. ## Test Infrastructure Overview ### Test Categories The framework organizes tests into several categories: #### 1. Core Tests (91 tests) ✅ **Status**: All passing, 0.83s execution time **Purpose**: Essential framework functionality validation ```bash # Recommended command for development and CI/CD python -m pytest tests/ -v --tb=short --ignore=tests/integration --ignore=tests/performance --ignore=tests/legacy ``` **Test Coverage**: - **Basic Functionality**: 16 tests - Core framework operations - **Basic Imports**: 7 tests - Import system validation - **Certification Comprehensive**: 5 tests - Certification workflows - **Daisy Chain Comprehensive**: 5 tests - Multi-device testing - **Data Analysis**: 4 tests - Signal analysis algorithms - **Framework Integration**: 5 tests - Component integration - **Multi-Protocol**: 4 tests - Cross-protocol functionality - **PCIe Analyzer**: 4 tests - PCIe-specific validation - **Security Comprehensive**: 5 tests - Security testing - **Summary Tests**: 7 tests - Framework organization - **Tunneling Comprehensive**: 20 tests - Protocol tunneling - **USB4 Comprehensive**: 9 tests - USB4 functionality #### 2. Integration Tests (Partially Working) **Multi-Protocol Integration**: 6/6 tests ✅ (Fully working) **USB4 Integration**: 0/15 tests ❌ (Needs enhanced mocks) ```bash # Multi-protocol integration (working) python -m pytest tests/integration/test_multi_protocol_integration.py -v # USB4 integration (needs work) python -m pytest tests/integration/test_usb4_integration.py -v ``` #### 3. Performance Tests (Needs Work) **USB4 Performance Regression**: 1/8 tests ✅ ```bash # Performance tests (partial functionality) python -m pytest tests/performance/ -v ``` #### 4. Legacy Tests (Properly Isolated) **Status**: All properly skipped **Purpose**: Maintain backward compatibility while avoiding conflicts ```bash # Legacy tests are automatically ignored python -m pytest tests/legacy/ -v # Will be skipped ``` ## Test Execution Commands ### Recommended Commands ```bash # Primary development command (91 tests passing) python -m pytest tests/ -v --tb=short --ignore=tests/integration --ignore=tests/performance --ignore=tests/legacy # Multi-protocol integration tests (6 tests passing) python -m pytest tests/integration/test_multi_protocol_integration.py -v # All comprehensive tests python -m pytest tests/test_*_comprehensive.py -v # Specific test categories python -m pytest tests/test_basic_imports.py -v python -m pytest tests/test_framework_integration.py -v python -m pytest tests/test_usb4_comprehensive.py -v ``` ### Full Test Suite ```bash # Full command (91 passed, 25 failed from integration/performance) python -m pytest tests/ -v --tb=short ``` ## Mock Testing Infrastructure ### Automatic Mock Mode The framework automatically enables mock mode through environment variables: ```python # Set in pytest.ini env = SVF_MOCK_MODE=1 PYTHONPATH=src ``` ### Mock Implementation Features #### Intelligent Protocol Detection ```python class ProtocolDetector: def detect_protocol_from_signal(self, signal_data, sample_rate, voltage_range): # Enhanced mock logic based on signal characteristics if isinstance(signal_data, dict): # USB4 multi-lane format - use first lane signal_array = signal_data[0]['voltage'] else: # Single signal array signal_array = signal_data signal_std = np.std(signal_array) signal_levels = self._estimate_signal_levels(signal_array) # PCIe: Higher voltage range (1.2V) and PAM4 levels if voltage_range >= 1.0 and len(signal_levels) >= 3: return ProtocolType.PCIE # Ethernet: Medium voltage range (0.8V) and PAM4 levels elif voltage_range == 0.8 and len(signal_levels) >= 3 and signal_std > 0.15: return ProtocolType.ETHERNET_224G # USB4: Lower voltage range (0.8V) and NRZ (2 levels) elif voltage_range <= 0.8 and len(signal_levels) <= 2: return ProtocolType.USB4 else: return ProtocolType.USB4 ``` #### Realistic Signal Generation ```python def generate_pcie_signal(self, duration: float = 5e-6): """Generate PCIe-like signal for testing""" sample_rate = 200e9 num_samples = int(duration * sample_rate) # PCIe 6.0 PAM4 signal (~32 GBaud) symbol_rate = 32e9 pam4_levels = np.array([-0.6, -0.2, 0.2, 0.6]) symbols = np.random.choice(4, num_symbols) # Generate realistic signal with noise voltage = np.zeros(num_samples) for i, symbol in enumerate(symbols): start_idx = int(i * symbol_period * sample_rate) end_idx = min(int((i + 1) * symbol_period * sample_rate), num_samples) if end_idx > start_idx: voltage[start_idx:end_idx] = pam4_levels[symbol] # Add noise voltage += 0.03 * np.random.randn(num_samples) return voltage, { 'sample_rate': sample_rate, 'voltage_range': 1.2, 'expected_protocol': ProtocolType.PCIE, 'symbol_rate': symbol_rate, 'modulation': 'PAM4' } ``` #### Comprehensive Mock Classes ```python # Available mock implementations from tests.mocks.analyzer import DataAnalyzer from tests.mocks.framework_integration import FrameworkIntegrator from tests.mocks.pcie_analyzer import PCIeAnalyzer from tests.mocks.multi_protocol import MultiProtocolComparator from tests.mocks.usb4_comprehensive import USB4Validator ``` ## Test Configuration ### pytest.ini Configuration ```ini [tool:pytest] testpaths = tests python_paths = src addopts = -v --tb=short --ignore=tests/legacy --ignore=tests/hardware --ignore=tests/integration --ignore=tests/performance env = SVF_MOCK_MODE=1 PYTHONPATH=src markers = hardware: marks tests as requiring hardware (deselect with '-m "not hardware"') visualization: marks tests as requiring visualization libraries slow: marks tests as slow (deselect with '-m "not slow"') integration: marks tests as integration tests ``` ### Test Markers ```python # Hardware tests (automatically skipped in mock mode) @pytest.mark.hardware def test_real_hardware(): pass # Visualization tests (conditional based on dependencies) @pytest.mark.visualization def test_plotting(): pass # Slow tests (can be excluded for fast CI) @pytest.mark.slow def test_performance_benchmark(): pass # Integration tests @pytest.mark.integration def test_multi_protocol_integration(): pass ``` ##

Debugging Tests ### Debug Logging ```python import logging logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG) # Enable framework debug logging logger = logging.getLogger('serdes_validation_framework') logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) ``` ### Test Isolation ```python # Use fresh instances for each test @pytest.fixture def fresh_framework(): """Provide fresh framework instance for each test""" return create_validation_framework() # Clean up resources @pytest.fixture(autouse=True) def cleanup(): """Automatic cleanup after each test""" yield # Cleanup code here import gc gc.collect() ``` ### Mock Inspection ```python def test_mock_behavior(): """Inspect mock behavior for debugging""" from tests.mocks.analyzer import DataAnalyzer analyzer = DataAnalyzer({'test': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]}) # Check available methods methods = [method for method in dir(analyzer) if not method.startswith('_')] print(f"Available methods: {methods}") # Test method behavior stats = analyzer.compute_statistics('test') print(f"Statistics result: {stats}") assert 'mean' in stats assert 'std' in stats ``` ## Best Practices ### 1. Test Organization - Keep core tests fast and reliable - Isolate integration tests that may be flaky - Use proper test markers for categorization ### 2. Mock Implementation - Make mocks realistic and consistent - Handle different input formats gracefully - Provide configurable behavior for different scenarios ### 3. Error Handling - Test both success and failure paths - Validate error messages and types - Ensure graceful degradation ### 4. Performance - Keep core tests under 1 second total execution time - Use appropriate timeouts for integration tests - Profile and optimize slow tests ### 5. Maintainability - Keep tests simple and focused - Use descriptive test names and docstrings - Maintain test documentation ## Troubleshooting ### Common Issues 1. **Import Errors**: Ensure PYTHONPATH is set correctly 2. **Mock Mode Issues**: Verify SVF_MOCK_MODE=1 is set 3. **Test Isolation**: Use fresh fixtures for each test 4. **Performance Issues**: Check for resource leaks ### Solutions ```python # Fix import issues import sys sys.path.insert(0, 'src') # Verify mock mode import os assert os.environ.get('SVF_MOCK_MODE') == '1' # Resource cleanup @pytest.fixture(autouse=True) def cleanup_resources(): yield # Cleanup code import gc gc.collect() ``` ## Next Steps - Explore [Mock Testing Guide](../tutorials/mock_testing.md) for detailed mock usage - Check [API Reference](../api/index.md) for complete testing API - See [CI/CD Integration](../guides/cicd.md) for automated testing setup - Review [Troubleshooting Guide](../guides/troubleshooting.md) for common issues
