Apply Vitest, React Testing Library, MSW, or Playwright rules only when the dependency/configuration is present. Use the repository's configured equivalent when different. If no runnable harness can be identified, report the inspected paths and the missing framework or command instead of inventing one.

Constrain an MSW handler's response body with satisfies against the domain type it stands for, so a fixture that drifts from the contract fails at compile time rather than producing a passing test against a shape the app never receives.
Type a component or dependency mock to the surface the subject under test actually consumes — Pick<Props, 'usedProp'>, Pick<Router, 'push'> — rather than the full interface, and constrain the literal with satisfies so an extra or misnamed member fails at compile time.
Test user-visible results, not implementation details. Query by the role and accessible name the user perceives (getByRole/getByLabelText/getByText), not getByTestId or container.querySelector. Drive interactions through userEvent with userEvent.setup() per test rather than firing raw events, so the test reproduces the browser's event sequence. await every interaction and async assertion — an unawaited interaction asserts against the pre-update render, so use findBy* for async UI.
Cover empty, error, and loading/async states, not only the happy path. Produce an error state by overriding the MSW handler for that single test rather than changing the shared handler set.
When the required UI state, accessibility name, or external contract is unknown, stop test design for that assertion and name the UI Spec, acceptance criterion, implementation contract, or user decision needed. Continue with independent assertions whose expected behavior is observed.

# TypeScript Testing Rules (Frontend)
## Prerequisite Detection
Inspect `package.json`, the lockfile, test configuration, and existing test imports before selecting a framework or command. Apply Vitest, React Testing Library, MSW, or Playwright rules only when the dependency/configuration is present. Use the repository's configured equivalent when different. If no runnable harness can be identified, report the inspected paths and the missing framework or command instead of inventing one.
## References
| Test Type | Reference | When to Use |
|-----------|-----------|-------------|
| **Unit / Integration** | This document | Implementing React component tests with RTL + Vitest + MSW |
| **E2E** | [references/e2e.md](references/e2e.md) | Implementing browser-level E2E tests with Playwright |
## Test Framework
- **Vitest**: Use when the repository config or existing tests select Vitest
- **React Testing Library**: For component testing
- **MSW (Mock Service Worker)**: For API mocking
- Test imports: `import { describe, it, expect, beforeEach, vi } from 'vitest'`
- Component test imports: `import { render, screen } from '@testing-library/react'`
- User interaction: `import userEvent from '@testing-library/user-event'`
- Mock creation: Use `vi.mock()`
## Basic Testing Policy
### Quality Requirements
- **Regression protection**: assert the named acceptance result, public branch, or failure state on critical paths and high-reuse components
- **Independence**: Each test can run independently without depending on other tests
- **Reproducibility**: Control time, randomness, environment values, network responses, and browser state so identical inputs produce the same observable result
- **Readability**: Each test names one user-visible behavior, separates setup/action/assertion, and keeps fixtures limited to values used by that behavior
### Where to concentrate test rigor
For shared components, custom hooks, and utilities reused across features, cover their public branches, error states, and boundary contracts because their regression blast radius is wider. Verify page-level composition through integration/E2E tests when the behavior depends on multiple rendered units.
### Test Types and Scope
1. **Unit Tests (React Testing Library)**
- Verify behavior of individual components or functions
- Mock all external dependencies
- Most numerous, implemented with fine granularity
- Focus on user-observable behavior
2. **Integration Tests (React Testing Library + MSW)**
- Verify coordination between multiple components
- Mock APIs with MSW (Mock Service Worker)
- No actual DB connections (backend manages DB)
- Verify flows that implement a primary acceptance criterion or coordinate multiple rendered components
3. **Cross-functional Verification in E2E Tests**
- Mandatory verification of impact on existing features when adding new features
- Classify each integration point: High when failure breaks a primary user journey or contract, Medium when failure degrades a secondary observable behavior. Cover High and Medium
- Verification pattern: Existing feature operation -> Enable new feature -> Verify continuity of existing features
- Success criteria: Preserve the displayed content and interaction behavior named by the source acceptance criteria; apply a rendering-time threshold only when project configuration or a requirement defines its value and measurement method
- Designed for automatic execution in CI/CD pipelines
## Test Implementation Conventions
### Directory Structure and Naming
- Co-locate a component's test in the component's own directory, so implementation and test move together
- Test files: `{ComponentName}.test.tsx`
- Integration test files: `{FeatureName}.integration.test.tsx`
- Test suites: Names describing target components or features
- Test cases: Names describing expected behavior from user perspective
### Test Code Quality Rules
Keep every committed test active. Repair a test that protects current behavior; remove a test only when its behavior is no longer required and the source requirement or implementation contract confirms the removal.
## Mock Type Safety Enforcement
Constrain an MSW handler's response body with `satisfies` against the domain type it stands for, so a fixture that drifts from the contract fails at compile time rather than producing a passing test against a shape the app never receives.
Type a component or dependency mock to the surface the subject under test actually consumes — `Pick<Props, 'usedProp'>`, `Pick<Router, 'push'>` — rather than the full interface, and constrain the literal with `satisfies` so an extra or misnamed member fails at compile time.
## Test Design Patterns
Test user-visible results, not implementation details. Query by the role and accessible name the user perceives (`getByRole`/`getByLabelText`/`getByText`), not `getByTestId` or `container.querySelector`. Drive interactions through `userEvent` with `userEvent.setup()` per test rather than firing raw events, so the test reproduces the browser's event sequence. `await` every interaction and async assertion — an unawaited interaction asserts against the pre-update render, so use `findBy*` for async UI.
Cover empty, error, and loading/async states, not only the happy path. Produce an error state by overriding the MSW handler for that single test rather than changing the shared handler set.
When the required UI state, accessibility name, or external contract is unknown, stop test design for that assertion and name the UI Spec, acceptance criterion, implementation contract, or user decision needed. Continue with independent assertions whose expected behavior is observed.
