Sendbird Platform SDK Python - Test Improvements Summary

Overview

This document summarizes the test improvements added to sendbird-platform-sdk-python.

Implemented Improvements

1. Unit Tests ✅

Enhanced existing empty test files with actual test implementations.

Model Tests

  • Location: /test/test_*.py (model-related files)
  • Improvements:
    • Object creation and required field validation
    • Optional field testing
    • Serialization/deserialization validation
    • Type validation and error handling

Examples:

  • test_accept_an_invitation_request.py - Added 4 test cases
  • test_create_a_user_request.py - Added 4 test cases
  • test_sendbird_user.py - Added 5 test cases

API Tests

  • Location: /test/test_*_api.py (API-related files)
  • Improvements:
    • API method call testing using mocks
    • Request/response validation
    • Error handling tests

Examples:

  • test_user_api.py - Added mock tests for create_a_user, list_users, view_a_user, etc.
  • Fast execution without actual API calls

2. Integration Tests ✅

Added new end-to-end tests that make actual Sendbird API calls.

Structure

test/integration/
├── __init__.py
├── conftest.py                          # Pytest fixtures and configuration
├── test_user_integration.py             # User API integration tests
├── test_group_channel_integration.py    # Group Channel API integration tests
└── test_message_integration.py          # Message API integration tests

Key Features

  • Configuration: Common fixtures defined in conftest.py

    • api_config: API configuration (loaded from environment variables)
    • api_client: API client instance
    • test_user_id: Generate unique test user IDs
    • test_channel_url: Generate unique test channel URLs

  • User API Integration Tests (test_user_integration.py):

    • Create and view users
    • Update and delete users
    • List users
    • Create users with metadata
    • Create user tokens

  • Group Channel API Integration Tests (test_group_channel_integration.py):

    • Create and view group channels
    • Update group channels
    • List group channels
    • Invite members
    • Freeze/unfreeze channels

  • Message API Integration Tests (test_message_integration.py):

    • Send and view messages
    • List messages
    • Update messages
    • Delete messages
    • Send admin messages

How to Run

Option 1: Using .env File (Recommended)

Create a .env file in the project root:

SENDBIRD_APP_ID=your_app_id
SENDBIRD_API_TOKEN=your_api_token

Then run integration tests:

# Automatically loads .env file
pytest test/integration/ -v

Option 2: Using Environment Variables

# Set environment variables
export SENDBIRD_APP_ID=your_app_id
export SENDBIRD_API_TOKEN=your_api_token

# Run integration tests
pytest test/integration/ -v

3. Test Infrastructure Improvements ✅

Dependency Updates

Updated test-requirements.txt:

pytest>=6.2.5
pytest-cov>=2.8.1
pytest-mock>=3.6.1
responses>=0.13.3

Pytest Configuration

Added pytest.ini:

  • Test discovery patterns
  • Marker definitions (unit, integration, slow)
  • Coverage options
  • Output options

Test Runner Script

Added run_tests.sh:

  • Convenient script for running tests
  • Multiple execution options (unit, integration, coverage, quick)
  • Automatic dependency checking and installation
  • Colorized output for better readability

4. Documentation ✅

Test Guide

Added test/README.md:

  • Test structure explanation
  • Unit test vs Integration test comparison
  • Detailed execution guide
  • How to add new tests
  • Troubleshooting guide
  • Best practices

  • Overall improvements summary
  • Detailed explanation of each improvement

Test Statistics

Unit Tests

  • Total tests: 251
  • Passing: 244
  • Intentionally failing: 7 (documenting SDK bugs - see KNOWN_ISSUES.md)
  • Pass rate: 97.2% (100% if excluding known issue tests)
  • Execution time: ~0.5 seconds

Integration Tests

  • Total tests: 16 (across 3 files)
  • Requirements: Sendbird API credentials needed (use .env file)

Known Issues

  • 7 tests fail to document that optional fields incorrectly reject None values
  • These failures are intentional and serve as bug documentation
  • See KNOWN_ISSUES.md for details and workarounds

Key Benefits

1. Improved Code Quality

  • Early bug detection through automated testing
  • Regression testing capability during refactoring
  • Easy impact analysis when code changes

2. Enhanced Development Productivity

  • Fast unit tests using mocks (0.5 seconds)
  • Integration tests to verify actual API behavior
  • Automated test execution

3. Documentation and Examples

  • Test code serves as SDK usage examples
  • Reduced onboarding time for new developers
  • Easy learning of API usage patterns

4. Better Maintainability

  • Clear test structure
  • Consistent test patterns
  • Reusable fixtures and helper functions

Usage Examples

Running Unit Tests

# Run all unit tests
pytest test/ --ignore=test/integration/ -v

# With coverage
pytest test/ --ignore=test/integration/ --cov=sendbird_platform_sdk --cov-report=html

# Specific test file only
pytest test/test_user_api.py -v

# Specific test case only
pytest test/test_user_api.py::TestUserApi::test_create_a_user -v

Running Integration Tests

Using .env file (Recommended):

# Create .env file in project root
# SENDBIRD_APP_ID=your_app_id
# SENDBIRD_API_TOKEN=your_api_token

# Run all integration tests (automatically loads .env)
pytest test/integration/ -v

# Specific integration test only
pytest test/integration/test_user_integration.py -v

# With verbose output
pytest test/integration/ -v -s

Using environment variables:

# Set environment variables
export SENDBIRD_APP_ID=your_app_id
export SENDBIRD_API_TOKEN=your_api_token

# Run integration tests
pytest test/integration/ -v

Using Test Runner Script

# Quick unit tests
./run_tests.sh quick

# With coverage
./run_tests.sh coverage

# Integration tests
./run_tests.sh integration

# All tests
./run_tests.sh all

Next Steps Recommendations

1. Additional Test Coverage

  • Add Open Channel API integration tests
  • Add Moderation API integration tests
  • Add Announcement API integration tests
  • Add Bot API integration tests

2. Advanced Testing Features

  • Add performance tests (load testing)
  • Enhance error scenario testing
  • Add concurrency tests
  • Test timeout and retry logic

3. Enhanced Test Automation

  • Schedule regular test runs
  • Set up test failure notifications
  • Configure and enforce coverage thresholds
  • Automate performance regression detection

4. Enhanced Documentation

  • Add test examples for each API
  • Add tests for common usage scenarios
  • Add error handling guide
  • Create video tutorials

Contributing Guide

To add new tests or improve existing ones:

  1. Refer to the guidelines in test/README.md
  2. Follow existing test patterns
  3. Consider adding both unit and integration tests
  4. Run and verify tests pass
  5. Include test results when submitting PR
