Test Case and Logging Module Implementation

Week 3 of AutoTestify development continued with implementing two crucial components: the test case management module and the system-wide logging module. These modules form the core functionality of our QA platform, enabling comprehensive test case management and detailed activity tracking.

Test Case Module Implementation

The test case module provides a robust foundation for managing test cases with support for different types, priorities, and statuses. Here’s a detailed look at the key components:

Test Case Interface

The test case interface defines the structure for test cases with comprehensive metadata support:

export interface TestCaseData {
  id?: string;
  title: string;
  description: string;
  steps: string;
  expectedResult: string;
  priority?: string;
  type?: string;
  status?: string;
  notes?: string;
  trelloCardId?: string;
  metadata?: Record<string, any>;
  createdById: string;
  projectId: string;
  sprintId?: string;
}

Supporting enums provide standardized options for test case attributes:

export enum TestCasePriority {
  HIGH = 'high',
  MEDIUM = 'medium',
  LOW = 'low'
}

export enum TestCaseType {
  MANUAL = 'manual',
  AUTOMATED = 'automated',
  EXPLORATORY = 'exploratory'
}

export enum TestCaseStatus {
  DRAFT = 'draft',
  READY = 'ready',
  DEPRECATED = 'deprecated'
}

Test Case Service

The service layer implements comprehensive CRUD operations and statistics methods:

@Injectable()
export class TestCasesService {
  constructor(
    @InjectRepository(TestCase)
    private testCasesRepository: Repository<TestCase>,
    @InjectRepository(Project)
    private projectsRepository: Repository<Project>,
    @InjectRepository(Sprint)
    private sprintsRepository: Repository<Sprint>,
  ) {}

  async findAll(filters?: { projectId?: string; sprintId?: string }): Promise<TestCase[]> {
    const query: any = {};
    
    if (filters?.projectId) {
      query.projectId = filters.projectId;
    }
    
    if (filters?.sprintId) {
      query.sprintId = filters.sprintId;
    }
    
    return this.testCasesRepository.find({
      where: query,
      relations: ['createdBy', 'project', 'sprint', 'results'],
    });
  }

  async getStatsByProject(projectId: string): Promise<Record<string, any>> {
    const testCases = await this.testCasesRepository.find({
      where: { projectId },
    });

    return {
      total: testCases.length,
      statusCounts: this.calculateStatusCounts(testCases),
      priorityCounts: this.calculatePriorityCounts(testCases),
      typeCounts: this.calculateTypeCounts(testCases),
    };
  }
}

Logging Module Implementation

The logging module provides comprehensive activity tracking across the application. Here’s a detailed look at its implementation:

Log Entry Interface

The log entry interface defines the structure for system-wide activity logging:

export interface LogEntry {
  id?: string;
  action: LogAction;
  entityType: EntityType;
  entityId: string;
  details?: Record<string, any>;
  ipAddress?: string;
  userAgent?: string;
  userId?: string;
  timestamp?: Date;
}

export enum LogAction {
  CREATED = 'created',
  UPDATED = 'updated',
  DELETED = 'deleted',
  EXECUTED = 'executed',
  ACCESSED = 'accessed',
  LOGGED_IN = 'logged_in',
  LOGGED_OUT = 'logged_out'
}

export enum EntityType {
  USER = 'user',
  PROJECT = 'project',
  SPRINT = 'sprint',
  TEST_CASE = 'testCase',
  TEST_RESULT = 'testResult',
  SYSTEM = 'system'
}

Logging Service

The logging service provides methods for different types of system activities:

@Injectable({ scope: Scope.REQUEST })
export class LoggingService {
  constructor(
    @InjectRepository(Log)
    private logsRepository: Repository<Log>,
  ) {}

  async log(entry: Omit<LogEntry, 'ipAddress' | 'userAgent'>): Promise<Log> {
    const logEntry = this.logsRepository.create({
      ...entry,
      ipAddress: this.getIpAddress(),
      userAgent: this.getUserAgent(),
    });

    return this.logsRepository.save(logEntry);
  }

  async getLogsByEntity(entityType: EntityType, entityId: string, limit = 20): Promise<Log[]> {
    return this.logsRepository.find({
      where: { entityType, entityId },
      order: { createdAt: 'DESC' },
      take: limit,
    });
  }

  async getRecentLogs(limit = 50): Promise<Log[]> {
    return this.logsRepository.find({
      order: { createdAt: 'DESC' },
      take: limit,
      relations: ['user'],
    });
  }
}

Module Integration

Both modules have been integrated into the main application module:

@Module({
  imports: [
    TypeOrmModule.forRoot(databaseConfig),
    TypeOrmModule.forFeature([
      TestCase,
      Project,
      Sprint,
      Log
    ]),
    TestCasesModule,
    LoggingModule,
    // Other modules...
  ],
  controllers: [AppController],
  providers: [AppService],
})
export class AppModule {}

Next Steps

With the test case and logging modules now in place, we’ll focus on implementing additional features in Week 4:

  1. Creating a test execution tracking system
  2. Developing a test result analytics dashboard
  3. Setting up an automated test scheduling system
  4. Implementing test case import/export functionality

The project continues to progress well, with these new modules providing essential functionality for test case management and system activity tracking. These implementations bring us closer to our goal of creating a comprehensive QA automation platform.

Challenges Faced

Test Case Data Structure

Needed to design a flexible test case structure that could accommodate different testing approaches

Solution:

Created an extensible test case interface with optional fields and metadata support for future expansion

Test Case Statistics

Required efficient methods to calculate test case statistics by project and sprint

Solution:

Implemented aggregation methods in the service layer with proper database queries

Logging System Design

Had to create a comprehensive logging system that could track all system activities

Solution:

Developed an extensible logging service with support for different action types and detailed context tracking

Next Week's Plan

  • Implement test execution tracking system
  • Create test result analytics dashboard
  • Set up automated test scheduling system
  • Develop test case import/export functionality
