# Database Unit Testing Module Documentation

## 1. Purpose

This module provides a unit testing framework for validating database operations in the DataPRO system. It enables testing of stored procedures, database modifications, and API operations against a SQL Server database. The framework uses database snapshots for test isolation, transaction rollback for cleanup, and XML-based result comparison for verifying database state changes. It tests various domain entities including DAS (Data Acquisition Systems), channels, sensors, customer details, laboratory details, and regions of interest.

## 2. Public Interface

### TestSetups (Base Class)

| `TFTearDown` | `void TFTearDown()` | One-time teardown marked with `[OneTimeTearDown]`. Disposes `DatabaseModificationTester` (drops snapshot) and closes connection. |
| `SetUp` | `void SetUp()` | Per-test setup marked with `[SetUp]`. Begins a test transaction via `_unitTests.BeginTestTransaction()`. |
| `TearDown` | `void TearDown()` | Per-test teardown marked with `[TearDown]`. Ends test transaction via `_unitTests.EndTestTransaction()`. |
| `TestResultPath` | `String TestResultPath { get; }` | Returns `_testResultsInitialPath` pointing to `TestResults\` directory. |
| `UnitTests` | `DatabaseModificationTester UnitTests { get; }` | Returns the `DatabaseModificationTester` instance. |
| `BSETUPMODE` | `bool BSETUPMODE { get; }` | Returns constant `_BSETUPMODE` (always `false`). |

### Test Fixture Classes (Commented-Out Tests)
**Files:** `DefaultPropertiesTests.cs`, `LaboratoryDetailsTests.cs`, `DASTests.cs`, `CustomerDetailsTests.cs`, `DASChannelsTests.cs`, `CalculatedChannelsTests.cs`

These classes inherit from `TestSetups` and contain commented-out test stubs documenting intended test cases for various stored procedures:

- `sp_LabratoryDetailsUpdateInsert`
- `sp_DASDelete`, `sp_DASGet`, `sp_DASCUpdateInsert`, `sp_DASInUpdateInsert`
- `sp_CustomerDetailsDelete`, `sp_CustomerDetailsGet`, `sp_CustomerDetailsUpdateInsert`, `sp_CustomerDetailsInUpdateInsert`
- `sp_DASChannelsDelete`, `sp_DASChannelsGet`, `sp_DASChannelsUpdateInsert`, `sp_DASChannelsInUpdateInsert`
- `sp_CalculatedChannelsDelete`, `sp_CalculatedChannelsGet`, `sp_CalculatedChannelsUpdateInsert`, `sp_CalculatedChannelsInUpdateInsert`

## 3. Invariants

1. **Transaction Isolation**: Every test runs within a transaction that is rolled back in `TearDown`. This ensures no permanent database modifications from tests.

2. **Snapshot Lifecycle**: A database snapshot is created in `TFSetup` (via `DatabaseModificationTester` constructor) and must be dropped in `TFTearDown` (via `Dispose()`). The `_activeSnapshot` flag prevents double-drop attempts.

3. **Single Active Transaction**: `BeginTestTransaction()` will end any existing transaction before creating a new one.

4. **EndTestTransaction Requires Active Transaction**: Calling `EndTestTransaction()` when `_transaction` is null throws `InvalidOperationException`.

5. **BSETUPMODE is Always False**: The property returns a constant `false` value.

6. **CustomerDetails Name Constraint**: Per comments in `CustomerDetailsTests.cs`, "Name cannot be null as that is the identifying field for insert or update."

7. **DAS Serial Number Requirement**: Per comments in `DASTests.cs`, "DAS must have serial number."

8. **SensorsDeleteAll Preserves Test Sensors**: `TestSensorsDeleteAll` verifies that `TEST_SPECIFIC_ANALOG_SERIAL` and `TEST_SPECIFIC_CLOCK_SERIAL` sensors remain after delete all.

9. **ROI Operations Version Gating**: `RegionsOfInterestInsert` should fail (return non-zero HR) for database version ≤ 91.

## 5. Gotchas

1. **Typo in Stored Procedure Names**: Comments reference `sp_LabratoryDetailsUpdateInsert` and `LabratoryDetails` table (misspelled "Laboratory" as "Labratory"). This may reflect actual database object names or be a documentation error.

2. **Inconsistent Stored Procedure Names in Comments**: `DASTests.cs` references `sp_CalculatedChannelsUpdateInsert` in an INSERT DAS test comment, and `sp_DASInUpdateInsert` in UPDATE comments. This appears to be copy-paste error in comments.

3. **Hardcoded Credentials**: `Login()` method uses hardcoded credentials "Admin" / "DTSAdmin".

4. **Hardcoded Database Instance**: `LOCAL_SERVER` is hardcoded as `@"(localdb)\DataPROInstance"`.

5. **Commented-Out Tests**: Multiple test files contain only commented-out test stubs. These document intended tests but are not executable.

6. **CreateFakeTestSetupWithROIs Implementation Missing**: Referenced in `RegionsOfInterest()` test but implementation not present in provided source files.

7. **Channel Tests Have Commented-Out Insert/Delete Calls**: In `DbAPITestsChannels.cs`, the actual `ChannelsInsert()`, `ChannelsUpdate()`, `ChannelsDelete()` calls are commented out, making tests incomplete.

8. **Path Construction Relies on Directory Structure**: `Setup()` method makes assumptions about build output directory structure (`bin\{architecture}\{debugOrRelease}`).

9. **Test Result Path Uses Relative Navigation**: `_testResultsInitialPath` uses `..\..\TestResults\` relative to `AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory`.

10. **Bridge Resistance Constant**: `FAKE_BRIDGE_RESISTANCE_OMS` is set to 350 (presumably ohms, though "OMS" may be a typo).
