Running Tests in CI/CD Pipeline

GitHub Actions Strategy

Overview

Tests are required gates before code merges. Unit tests run on every pull request to catch issues early and ensure code quality.

NOTE

E2E tests are currently excluded from the pipeline. They require additional setup (API/database configuration) and will be integrated in a future phase once those dependencies are established.

Approach

A dedicated test workflow (test.yml) that runs on:

• Pull requests - blocks merge if tests fail
• Push to main - validates code quality before deployment
• Manual trigger - for debugging
