## Coverage Report

### Coverage Metrics

```
File                | % Stmts | % Branch | % Funcs | % Lines
--------------------|---------|----------|---------|--------
SystemSettings.tsx  |   82.35 |    71.42 |   73.07 |   81.48
UsersPage.tsx       |   76.92 |    61.79 |   70.45 |   78.37
```

### Analysis

- **SystemSettings**: Strong coverage across all metrics (71-82%)
- **UsersPage**: Good coverage with room for improvement in branch coverage

## Technical Implementation

### Key Challenges Resolved

1. **Fake Timers Incompatibility**
   - **Issue**: React Query hung when using `vi.useFakeTimers()`
   - **Solution**: Replaced with real timers and extended `waitFor()` timeouts
   - **Impact**: All debounce tests now pass reliably

2. **API Mocking Strategy**
   - **Issue**: Component uses `client.post()` directly, not wrapper functions
   - **Solution**: Added `client` module mock with `post` method
   - **Files Updated**: Both test files now mock `client.post()` correctly

3. **Translation Key Handling**
   - **Issue**: Global i18n mock returns keys, not translated text
   - **Solution**: Tests use regex patterns and key matching
   - **Example**: `screen.getByText(/charon\.example\.com.*accept-invite/)`

### Testing Patterns Used

#### Debounce Testing

```typescript
// Enter text
await user.type(emailInput, 'test@example.com')

// Wait for debounce to complete
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 600))

// Verify API called exactly once
expect(client.post).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1)
```

#### Visual State Validation

```typescript
// Check for border color change
const inputElement = screen.getByPlaceholderText('https://charon.example.com')
expect(inputElement.className).toContain('border-green')
```

#### Icon Presence Testing

```typescript
// Find check icon by SVG path
const checkIcon = screen.getByRole('img', { hidden: true })
expect(checkIcon).toBeTruthy()
```

## Files Modified

### Test Files

1. `/frontend/src/pages/__tests__/SystemSettings.test.tsx`
   - Added `client` module mock with `post` method
   - Added 8 new tests for Application URL card
   - Removed fake timer usage

2. `/frontend/src/pages/__tests__/UsersPage.test.tsx`
   - Added `client` module mock with `post` method
   - Added 6 new tests for URL preview functionality
   - Updated all preview tests to use `client.post()` mock

## Verification Steps Completed

- [x] All tests passing (45/45)
- [x] Coverage measured and documented
- [x] TypeScript type check passed with no errors
- [x] No test timeouts or hanging
- [x] Act warnings are benign (don't affect test success)

## Recommendations

### For Future Work

1. **Increase Branch Coverage**: Add tests for edge cases in conditional logic
2. **Integration Tests**: Consider E2E tests for URL validation flow
3. **Accessibility Testing**: Add tests for keyboard navigation and screen readers
4. **Performance**: Monitor test execution time as suite grows

### Testing Best Practices Applied

- ✅ User-facing locators (`getByRole`, `getByPlaceholderText`)
- ✅ Auto-retrying assertions with `waitFor()`
- ✅ Descriptive test names following "Feature - Action" pattern
- ✅ Proper cleanup in `beforeEach` hooks
- ✅ Real timers for debounce testing
- ✅ Mock isolation between tests

## Conclusion

Phases 2 and 3 are complete with high-quality test coverage. All new component UI tests are passing, validation and edge cases are handled, and the test suite is maintainable and reliable. The testing infrastructure is robust and ready for future feature development.

**Next Steps**: No action required. Tests are integrated into CI/CD and will run on all future PRs.
