🧪 FastMCP Testing Pattern Implementation

Key Pattern: In-Memory Testing

Following the official FastMCP documentation pattern:

@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_mcp_tool(mcp_server):
    async with Client(mcp_server) as client:
        result = await client.call_tool("tool_name", {"param": "value"})
        assert result is not None

Benefits of This Pattern:

✅ No separate server process needed
✅ Fast, reliable test execution
✅ Tests actual MCP functionality
✅ Comprehensive error scenario testing
✅ Resource discovery testing

📊 Test Coverage Breakdown

MCP Server Tests (test_mcp_server.py)

• 12 MCP tools tested - All DNS management functions
• 3 MCP resources tested - Domain discovery endpoints
• Error handling scenarios - API failures, invalid parameters
• Complete workflows - End-to-end domain/record management
• Validation logic - DNS record validation testing

Client Library Tests (test_client.py)

• Direct API client testing - VultrDNSClient functionality
• Convenience methods - add_a_record, add_mx_record, etc.
• Utility functions - find_records_by_type, get_domain_summary
• Setup helpers - setup_basic_website, setup_email
• Error handling - Network failures, API errors

CLI Tests (test_cli.py)

• All CLI commands - domains, records, setup utilities
• Click testing framework - Proper CLI testing patterns
• User interaction - Confirmation prompts, help output
• Error scenarios - Missing API keys, invalid parameters
• Output validation - Success/error message checking

Core Server Tests (test_vultr_server.py)

• HTTP client testing - Request/response handling
• API error scenarios - 400, 401, 404, 500 responses
• Domain operations - CRUD operations with proper mocking
• Record operations - All record types and parameters
• Network errors - Timeouts, connection failures

🎯 Test Categories & Markers

Organized by Functionality:

• @pytest.mark.unit - Individual component testing (40+ tests)
• @pytest.mark.integration - Component interaction testing (15+ tests)
• @pytest.mark.mcp - MCP-specific functionality (20+ tests)
• @pytest.mark.slow - Performance and timeout tests

Smart Test Selection:

# Fast feedback loop
pytest -m "unit and not slow"

# MCP functionality validation  
pytest -m mcp

# Complete integration testing
pytest -m integration

# All tests with coverage
python run_tests.py --all-checks

🛠️ Mock Strategy & Fixtures

Comprehensive Mocking:

• mock_vultr_client - Realistic Vultr API responses
• mcp_server - FastMCP server instance for testing
• sample_domain_data - Test data matching API formats
• sample_records - DNS record test data with all fields

Realistic Test Data:

# Matches actual Vultr API response format
sample_domain = {
    "domain": "example.com",
    "date_created": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z",
    "dns_sec": "disabled"
}

🚀 Test Execution Options

Using pytest directly:

pytest                           # All tests
pytest -m unit --cov           # Unit tests with coverage
pytest tests/test_mcp_server.py # Specific module
pytest -k "validation"         # Tests matching pattern

Using comprehensive test runner:

python run_tests.py --all-checks    # Everything
python run_tests.py --type mcp      # MCP tests only
python run_tests.py --fast          # Skip slow tests
python run_tests.py --lint          # Code quality

📈 Quality Metrics

Coverage Goals:

• Overall: 80%+ (enforced by pytest)
• MCP Tools: 100% (critical functionality)
• API Client: 95%+ (core functionality)
• CLI Commands: 90%+ (user interface)
• Error Handling: 95%+ (reliability)

Test Count:

• ~100 total tests across all modules
• Comprehensive scenarios covering happy paths and edge cases
• Error simulation for network failures and API errors
• Real-world workflows for domain/record management

🔧 CI/CD Integration

GitHub Actions Workflow:

• Multi-Python testing (3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12)
• Progressive test execution (validation → unit → integration → mcp)
• Code quality gates (black, isort, flake8, mypy)
• Security scanning (safety, bandit)
• Package validation (build, install, test CLI)

Quality Gates:

1. ✅ Package imports and validation
2. ✅ All tests pass on all Python versions
3. ✅ Code coverage meets 80% threshold
4. ✅ Code quality checks pass
5. ✅ Security scans clean
6. ✅ Package builds and installs correctly
