🔧 Tools & Scripts

Analysis Script

Run weekly to track progress:

npx tsx scripts/analyze-test-duplicates.ts

Output: docs/migration/duplicate-analysis.json

What it does:

• Counts test files and lines
• Identifies large files (>1,000 lines)
• Finds duplicate test patterns
• Categorizes tests (user-value, contract, implementation-detail)
• Generates recommendations

Migration CI Pipeline

GitHub Actions workflow: .github/workflows/migration-validation.yml

Runs on:

• Push to migration/** branches
• Pull requests to main affecting tests/

What it checks:

• Journey tests pass (if exist)
• Contract tests pass (if exist)
• Infrastructure tests pass (if exist)
• No files > 600 lines
• No skipped tests
• New directory structure compliance

📋 Migration Phases

Phase 1: Setup & Analysis (4-6 hours) ⬜ Not Started

Create infrastructure, analyze codebase, establish baselines

Key Deliverable: Migration CI pipeline + baseline metrics

Phase 2: Create Journey Tests (8-12 hours) ⬜ Not Started

Implement 7 core user journeys with real database

Key Deliverable: 7 journey tests passing with 100% reliability

Phase 3: Consolidate Unit Tests (12-16 hours) ⬜ Not Started

Merge duplicate files, focus on business logic

Key Deliverable: All unit tests < 600 lines, no duplicates

Phase 4: Delete Redundant Tests (4-6 hours) ⬜ Not Started

Remove implementation detail tests, clean up old structure

Key Deliverable: ~60K lines deleted, old directories removed

Phase 5: CI/CD Integration (4-6 hours) ⬜ Not Started

Optimize execution, add coverage gates, generate dashboard

Key Deliverable: CI/CD < 2 minutes with automated gates
