# Webpack Test Suite Structure
This document explains the structure of the `test/` directory in the Webpack project using Jest. The directory is organized into multiple folders and files, each serving a specific purpose in testing various aspects of Webpacks functionality.
## Folder and File Breakdown
### 1. `__snapshots__/`
- **Purpose**: Stores Jest snapshot files for comparing output consistency over time.
- **Usage**: Used for testing UI components, serialized data, or expected module outputs.
### 2. `benchmarkCases/`
- **Purpose**: Contains test cases for benchmarking Webpack's performance.
- **Usage**: Measures build times, memory usage, and optimization impact.
### 3. `cases/`
- **Purpose**: General test cases covering core functionalities.
- **Usage**: Includes unit and integration tests for various modules and features.
### 4. `configCases/`
- **Purpose**: Tests related to Webpack configurations.
- **Usage**: Ensures that Webpacks configuration (e.g., loaders, plugins) functions correctly.
### 5. `fixtures/`
- **Purpose**: Stores sample/mock data used in tests.
- **Usage**: Helps in creating consistent test cases with predefined inputs.
### 6. `helpers/`
- **Purpose**: Utility functions and scripts to assist in testing.
- **Usage**: Provides reusable functions for mock data generation, cleanup, and assertions.
### 7. `hotCases/`
- **Purpose**: Focuses on Webpacks Hot Module Replacement (HMR) functionality.
- **Usage**: Ensures live reloading and hot updates work correctly.
### 8. `hotPlayground/`
- **Purpose**: An experimental space for testing HMR features.
- **Usage**: Allows exploration of new HMR implementations.
### 9. `memoryLimitCases/json`
- **Purpose**: Contains test cases related to memory limits.
- **Usage**: Ensures Webpack doesnt exceed memory constraints.
### 10. `statsCases/`
- **Purpose**: Tests focused on Webpacks statistical outputs.
- **Usage**: Verifies correct bundle sizes, dependencies, and optimizations.
### 11. `typesCases/`
- **Purpose**: Type-checking tests, likely for TypeScript integration.
- **Usage**: Ensures proper type definitions and compliance.
### 12. `watchCases/`
- **Purpose**: Tests for Webpacks watch mode functionality.
- **Usage**: Ensures file changes trigger correct rebuild behavior.
### 13. `*.unittest.js`
- **Purpose**: Contains unit tests for various functionalities.
- **Usage**: Ensures individual modules and functions work as expected.
### 14. `BannerPlugin.test.js`
- **Purpose**: Tests Webpacks `BannerPlugin` functionality.
- **Usage**: Ensures that the plugin correctly adds banners to the bundled files.
## Testing Framework
- **Jest** is used for running tests.
- Snapshots help maintain consistency in output.
- Unit tests verify individual module functionality.
- Integration tests ensure multiple components work together.
## How to Run Tests
To execute all tests, use the following command:
```sh
yarn test
```
For running specific tests:
```sh
jest cases/userLogic.test.js
```
## Contribution Guide
- Add new test cases in the appropriate folder.
- Use Jest assertions and mocks for consistency.
- Run `yarn test` before pushing changes to validate functionality.
