Hey everyone, I’m interested in the GSoC 2025: Improve Integration Test Coverage project. ### Project Overview Integration tests are essential for ensuring smooth interactions between different service layer components. While we already have a variety of integration tests in place, this project aims to increase test coverage to at least 60% by improving existing tests and adding new ones for critical services. ### Current Testing Approach We follow a dataset-driven testing strategy, ensuring realistic scenarios by using actual data instead of mocks. Our tests: - Utilize datasets for setup and validation. - Manage test state with executeDataSetWithStateManagement to maintain consistency. - Measure and track coverage with JaCoCo, ensuring improvements are data-driven. Currently, integration tests cover various service layer functionalities, including CRUD operations, data retrieval, business logic validation, and error handling. Expanding this coverage will enhance the reliability and stability of the system. ### Objectives 1. Expand test coverage to at least 60% for critical service layer components. 2. Ensure comprehensive coverage of core functionalities while maintaining test efficiency. 3. Improve dataset management and test state handling for more reliable integration tests. @Herbert @Moses_Mutesasira @caseyi @calebslane @community ---

Can you tell me in which IDE are you running your test and what command you are using to test the integration test code? ---

hello @Adarsh_Samani I use VS code and intellij but preferably I use intellij mostly I would advise if you are interested in the same project you create a different thread for work visibility ! ---

I also want to use intellij, can you tell me what commands you use to check the tests ---

Hey everyone, A few days ago, as part of the preparation during the Community Bonding Period, I reviewed the existing and newly added tests in our codebase. As part of this process, I - Generated a Jacoco report, reviewed it, and added more test methods to existing service tests that were missing coverage. - Introduced additional assertions in test methods involving databases to reduce log clutter and make debugging easier. - Cleaned up existing tests by removing unnecessary comments, improving readability, and making the codebase look more professional. All these improvements have seen an enhancement in integration Tests coverage in OpenElis > **[GitHub - DIGI-UW/OpenELIS-Global-2: This is the core repo for OpenELIS global v3](https://github.com/DIGI-UW/OpenELIS-Global-2?tab=readme-ov-file)** > > This is the core repo for OpenELIS global v3
