DSS Admin UI - Test Automation Suite

Framework: Pytest-Playwright (Python-based) Generated: 2025-12-08 Author: Gemini 3 Pro Expert Analysis Status: Ready for Implementation

---

Overview

Complete automated testing suite for the DSS Admin UI with three integrated phases:

• Phase 1: Smoke Test - Verify all 51 components load successfully
• Phase 2: Category Testing - Validate component interactions by category
• Phase 3: API Integration - Test all 79+ API endpoints

---

Quick Start

Prerequisites

# Python 3.8+
python3 --version

# Install dependencies
pip3 install pytest pytest-playwright pytest-asyncio httpx

# Install browsers
python3 -m playwright install

Run All Tests

# Make script executable
chmod +x .dss/run_all_tests.sh

# Run complete test suite
.dss/run_all_tests.sh

This will automatically:

1. Start Vite dev server (if not running)
2. Run Phase 1 smoke tests (51 components)
3. Run Phase 2 category tests (component interactions)
4. Run Phase 3 API tests (79+ endpoints)
5. Generate HTML reports and logs

---

Phase Details

Phase 1: Smoke Test (Component Loading)

File: .dss/test_smoke_phase1.py Purpose: Verify all components load without critical errors Coverage: 51 components across all categories

Tests:

• Component registry presence
• DOM rendering validation
• Console error detection
• API endpoint connectivity

Run Phase 1 Only:

# All components
pytest .dss/test_smoke_phase1.py -v

# Specific component
pytest .dss/test_smoke_phase1.py -k ds-shell -v

# With verbose output
pytest .dss/test_smoke_phase1.py -vv --tb=short

# With coverage report
pytest .dss/test_smoke_phase1.py --cov=admin-ui -v

Expected Results:

• ✅ 51/51 components load successfully
• ✅ 0 uncaught errors in console
• ✅ All DOM elements render with visible content
• ✅ No network failures on page load

---

Phase 2: Category-Based Testing

File: .dss/test_category_phase2.py Purpose: Test components with category-specific interactions Coverage: 5 categories with 27 focused tests

Categories:

Tools Category (14 components)

• Input → Execute → Result validation
• Test: Metrics panel data, console viewer, token inspector

Metrics Category (3 components)

• Chart rendering, data validation
• Test: Dashboard layout, metric cards, frontpage

Layout Category (5 components)

• Navigation, sidebar, panels
• Test: Shell structure, activity bar, project selector

Admin Category (3 components)

• CRUD operations, permissions
• Test: Settings form, project list, user profile

UI Elements (5+ components)

• Basic component behavior
• Test: Button interaction, input values, card layout

Run Phase 2:

# All category tests
pytest .dss/test_category_phase2.py -v

# Specific category
pytest .dss/test_category_phase2.py::TestToolsCategory -v
pytest .dss/test_category_phase2.py::TestMetricsCategory -v
pytest .dss/test_category_phase2.py::TestLayoutCategory -v
pytest .dss/test_category_phase2.py::TestAdminCategory -v

# Specific test
pytest .dss/test_category_phase2.py::TestToolsCategory::test_metrics_panel_data_display -v

# Parallel execution (faster)
pytest .dss/test_category_phase2.py -n auto -v

Expected Results:

• ✅ All category tests pass
• ✅ Components render with expected content
• ✅ Interactions respond correctly
• ✅ Data flows work as expected

---

Phase 3: API Integration Testing

File: .dss/test_api_phase3.py Purpose: Validate all API endpoints Coverage: 79+ endpoints across 8 categories

API Categories:

• Authentication: Login, logout, me
• Projects: CRUD operations
• Browser Logs: Ingestion and retrieval
• Design Tokens: Token management
• Figma Integration: 9 endpoints
• MCP Tools: Tool execution
• System/Admin: Status, config, teams
• Audit/Discovery: Logs and service discovery

Run Phase 3:

# All API tests
pytest .dss/test_api_phase3.py -v

# Specific API category
pytest .dss/test_api_phase3.py::TestAuthenticationEndpoints -v
pytest .dss/test_api_phase3.py::TestProjectEndpoints -v
pytest .dss/test_api_phase3.py::TestFigmaEndpoints -v
pytest .dss/test_api_phase3.py::TestMCPToolsEndpoints -v

# Comprehensive API scan
pytest .dss/test_api_phase3.py::test_comprehensive_api_scan -v

# CORS validation
pytest .dss/test_api_phase3.py::TestCORSConfiguration -v

# Error handling
pytest .dss/test_api_phase3.py::TestErrorHandling -v

# Verbose output
pytest .dss/test_api_phase3.py -vv --tb=short

Expected Results:

• ✅ 79+ endpoints responding (< 500 errors)
• ✅ Valid JSON responses
• ✅ Proper error handling
• ✅ CORS headers present
• ✅ ≥ 80% endpoints functional

Advanced Usage

Parallel Test Execution

Install pytest-xdist:

pip3 install pytest-xdist

Run tests in parallel:

# Auto-detect CPU cores
pytest .dss/test_*.py -n auto -v

# Specific number of workers
pytest .dss/test_*.py -n 4 -v

HTML Test Reports

Tests automatically generate HTML reports:

# View reports (requires pytest-html)
pip3 install pytest-html

# Reports are saved to .dss/test-logs/
open .dss/test-logs/phase1-report.html
open .dss/test-logs/phase2-report.html
open .dss/test-logs/phase3-report.html

Running with Headless Browser

# Default: headless mode
HEADLESS=1 pytest .dss/test_*.py -v

# Visible browser (debug)
HEADLESS=0 pytest .dss/test_*.py -v

# Slow down execution (debug)
SLOW_MO=100 pytest .dss/test_*.py -v  # 100ms per action

Filtering Tests

# Run tests matching a pattern
pytest .dss/test_smoke_phase1.py -k "ds-shell" -v

# Run tests NOT matching a pattern
pytest .dss/test_smoke_phase1.py -k "not ds-badge" -v

# Run tests with specific markers
pytest .dss/test_*.py -m "critical" -v

Debugging Failed Tests

# Print console output
pytest .dss/test_*.py -v -s

# Stop on first failure
pytest .dss/test_*.py -x -v

# Drop into debugger on failure
pytest .dss/test_*.py --pdb -v

# Show local variables on failure
pytest .dss/test_*.py -l -v

# Full traceback
pytest .dss/test_*.py --tb=long -v

Coverage Reports

# Install coverage
pip3 install pytest-cov

# Generate coverage report
pytest .dss/test_*.py --cov=admin-ui --cov-report=html -v

# View report
open htmlcov/index.html

---

Configuration

Environment Variables

# Browser headless mode
HEADLESS=1

# Slow motion (ms per action)
SLOW_MO=100

# Browser timeout
BROWSER_TIMEOUT=30000

# API base URL (for Phase 3)
API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8002

# Dev client URL (for Phase 1 & 2)
DEV_CLIENT_URL=http://localhost:5173

Test Configuration

Edit test files to modify:

Phase 1 (test_smoke_phase1.py):

• BASE_URL = "http://localhost:5173"
• TIMEOUT = 3000 (ms per component)
• COMPONENTS dict (component registry)

Phase 2 (test_category_phase2.py):

• Component lists per category
• Interaction patterns
• Data assertions

Phase 3 (test_api_phase3.py):

• API_BASE_URL = "http://localhost:8002"
• API_ENDPOINTS dict (endpoint definitions)
• Request payloads

Troubleshooting

Issue: Vite dev server won't start

# Check if port 5173 is already in use
lsof -i :5173

# Kill process on port 5173
kill -9 <PID>

# Start manually
cd admin-ui && npm run dev

Issue: Playwright browser won't launch

# Reinstall browsers
python3 -m playwright install --with-deps

# Check browser binary
python3 -m playwright install-deps

Issue: API tests fail with "connection refused"

# Check if FastAPI backend is running
curl http://localhost:8002/api/system/status

# If not running, Phase 3 will be skipped
# This is normal - Phase 1 & 2 will still run

Issue: Tests timeout

# Increase timeout
pytest .dss/test_*.py --timeout=60 -v

# Or modify timeout in test file
TIMEOUT = 5000  # 5 seconds instead of 3

Issue: Import errors

# Ensure you're in project root
cd /path/to/dss

# Install all dependencies
pip3 install -r requirements-test.txt

# Or manually install
pip3 install pytest pytest-playwright pytest-asyncio httpx
