Add Comprehensive End-to-End Testing with Temporary Database

User Story

As a developer, I want comprehensive end-to-end tests that validate the complete synchronization workflow using an isolated temporary database, so I can confidently deploy changes without breaking the ADO-Asana sync functionality.

Description

Implement a full end-to-end testing suite that creates a temporary, isolated database environment and validates all synchronization scenarios between Azure DevOps and Asana. This test suite should emulate real-world usage patterns and catch integration issues before they reach production.

Acceptance Criteria

Test Environment Setup

  • Create temporary database instance for each test run
  • Mock ADO and Asana API endpoints with realistic response data
  • Set up test configuration files with sample project mappings
  • Implement proper cleanup of temporary resources after test completion

Core Synchronization Scenarios

  • Task Creation Sync: Verify new tasks created in ADO appear correctly in Asana
  • Task Update Sync: Validate status changes, field updates, and assignments sync bidirectionally
  • Task Deletion Handling: Test soft/hard deletion scenarios and proper cleanup
  • Pull Request Linking: Verify PR creation in ADO links to corresponding Asana tasks
  • Bidirectional Updates: Ensure changes in either system propagate correctly to the other

Edge Cases and Error Scenarios

  • API Rate Limiting: Test behavior when APIs return rate limit responses
  • Network Failures: Validate retry logic and graceful degradation
  • Data Conflicts: Test resolution when both systems have conflicting updates
  • Invalid Configurations: Verify proper error handling for malformed config files
  • Partial Sync Failures: Ensure incomplete syncs can be resumed/retried

Data Integrity Validation

  • Field Mapping Accuracy: Verify custom field mappings work correctly across projects
  • Status Translation: Confirm status mappings between ADO and Asana are accurate
  • Assignment Preservation: Ensure user assignments are maintained during sync
  • Timestamp Handling: Validate creation/modification dates are preserved correctly

Performance and Reliability

  • Bulk Operations: Test performance with large datasets (100+ tasks/PRs)
  • Concurrent Updates: Verify handling of simultaneous changes in both systems
  • Memory Usage: Ensure tests don't have memory leaks during extended runs
  • Execution Time: Validate tests complete within reasonable timeframes

Technical Requirements

Test Infrastructure

  • Use pytest framework with fixtures for database setup/teardown
  • Implement mock servers for ADO and Asana APIs using responses or similar
  • Create test data factories for generating realistic task and PR data
  • Set up parallel test execution to reduce overall test time

Test Data Management

  • Generate representative test datasets covering various project configurations
  • Include edge cases like special characters, long descriptions, and complex hierarchies
  • Implement data cleanup utilities to reset state between test runs

Reporting and Monitoring

  • Generate detailed test reports with coverage metrics
  • Include performance benchmarks and timing information
  • Provide clear failure diagnostics with actionable error messages

Definition of Done

  • All test scenarios pass consistently across multiple runs
  • Test suite can be executed in CI/CD pipeline
  • Documentation explains how to run and extend the test suite
  • Code coverage for sync logic reaches minimum 85%
  • Performance benchmarks are established and monitored
  • Test artifacts (logs, reports) are properly cleaned up

Dependencies

  • Temporary database setup utilities
  • Mock API framework integration
  • Test data generation scripts
  • CI/CD pipeline configuration updates
