๐ Detailed Test Examples
Functional Test Example
def "should handle complex OR operations with mixed field types"() {
given: "GraphQL query with complex OR conditions"
def query = '''
query {
customer(or: [
{ customer_id: { lt: 5 } },
{ first_name: { startsWith: "A" } },
{ active: { eq: true } }
]) {
customer_id
first_name
active
}
}
'''
when: "executing the query"
def result = graphqlTester.query(query).execute()
then: "should return filtered results"
result.errors.isEmpty()
result.data.customer.size() >= 3
}
def "should handle large IN arrays efficiently"() {
given: "large array of 1000 customer IDs"
def largeIdArray = (1..1000).collect { it }
when: "filtering with large IN array"
def startTime = System.currentTimeMillis()
def result = performQuery(largeIdArray)
def endTime = System.currentTimeMillis()
then: "should complete within performance threshold"
endTime - startTime < 600 // 600ms threshold
result.data.customer.size() > 0
}
Security Test Example
def "should prevent SQL injection in string filters"() {
given: "malicious SQL injection payload"
def maliciousInput = "'; DROP TABLE users; --"
when: "attempting SQL injection"
def result = graphqlTester.query("""
query {
users(where: { name: { eq: "$maliciousInput" } }) {
id name
}
}
""").execute()
then: "should safely handle malicious input"
result.errors.isEmpty()
result.data.users.size() == 0
// Database should remain intact
}
๐ฏ Test Maintenance
Adding New Tests
- Follow naming conventions: Use descriptive test method names
- Test both positive and negative cases
- Include performance assertions where appropriate
- Add security validation for new filter types
- Document edge cases and expected behaviors
Test Data Management
// Standard test data setup
def setupData() {
// Create varied test records
customerRepository.saveAll([
new Customer(name: "Alice", active: true, created: "2023-01-01"),
new Customer(name: "Bob", active: false, created: "2023-06-15"),
// ... more test data
])
}
