Testing Infrastructure
Navigate tiered testing strategy (ui-mock, auth-stub, full-stack), fixtures, and configs.
Overview
Three-tier testing strategy for speed/isolation balance. See docs/testing/STRATEGY.md.
E2E Test Tiers
Tier 1: UI Mock
- Location:
frontend/e2e-tiers/tier-ui-mock/ - Speed: <5s
- Purpose: UI-only, no backend
Tier 2: Auth Stub
- Location:
frontend/e2e-tiers/tier-auth-stub/ - Speed: <30s
- Purpose: Real frontend + stubbed auth
Tier 3: Full Stack
- Location:
frontend/e2e-tiers/tier-full-stack/ - Speed: ~60s+
- Purpose: Complete integration
