# TestSummary

## Documentation: Test Summary List Module

### 1. Purpose  
This module defines the interface contracts for a *Test Summary List* view and its associated view model in a test data viewer application. It enables the display and management of a list of test summaries (`ITestSummary`), supporting selection tracking (`SelectedTestSummaryList`), UI binding via `ObservableCollection`, and propagation of selection changes through the `PublishSelectedTestSummaryList()` method. It serves as the data and presentation layer abstraction for a list-based UI component (e.g., a grid or list view) that shows metadata about recorded tests, including setup name, channel count, timestamps, and associated graphs/channels.

---

### 2. Public Interface  

#### `ITestSummaryListView`  
- **Inherits**: `IBaseView`  
- **Description**: A marker interface representing the view layer for the test summary list. No additional members defined; intended for dependency injection or view-model-to-view binding.

#### `ITestSummaryListViewModel`  
- **Inherits**: `IBaseViewModel`  
- **Properties**:  
  - `ITestSummaryListView View { get; }`  
    Gets the associated view instance.  
  - `ObservableCollection<ITestSummary> TestSummaryList { get; set; }`  
    The full list of test summaries displayed in the UI; observable for collection change notifications.  
  - `List<ITestSummary> SelectedTestSummaryList { get; set; }`  
    The subset of `TestSummaryList` items currently selected by the user. *Not* observable; changes must be explicitly published.  
- **Methods**:  
  - `void PublishSelectedTestSummaryList()`  
    Triggers propagation of the current `SelectedTestSummaryList` to downstream consumers (e.g., via event or messaging).  
  - `void TestSummaryList_CollectionChanged(object sender, NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)`  
    Handles `CollectionChanged` events for `TestSummaryList`, likely updating internal state (e.g., `SelectedTestSummaryList`) when items are added/removed/moved.  

#### `ITestSummary`  
- **Inherits**: `IBaseClass`  
- **Properties**:  
  - `string Id { get; set; }`  
    Unique identifier for the test.  
  - `string SetupName { get; set; }`  
    Name of the test setup configuration.  
  - `string Description { get; set; }`  
    Human-readable description of the test.  
  - `int ChannelCount { get; set; }`  
    Number of physical channels recorded in the test.  
  - `DateTime FileDate { get; set; }`  
    Date the test file was created or last modified.  
  - `DateTime TimeStamp { get; set; }`  
    Timestamp of the test event (e.g., start time).  
  - `string DataType { get; set; }`  
    Type of data recorded (e.g., "Raw", "Processed").  
  - `bool IsSelected { get; set; }`  
    UI state flag indicating if this item is selected in the list.  
  - `List<ITestGraphs> Graphs { get; set; }`  
    List of graph definitions associated with this test.  
  - `List<ITestChannel> Channels { get; set; }`  
    List of physical channels in the test.  
  - `List<ITestChannel> CalculatedChannels { get; set; }`  
    List of derived/calculated channels.  
  - `IBaseViewModel Parent { get; set; }`  
    Reference to the parent view model in the hierarchy.  
  - `ITestMetadata TestMetadata { get; set; }`  
    Metadata object containing additional test details.  
  - `CalibrationBehaviors CalibrationBehavior { get; set; }`  
    Enumerated value indicating calibration behavior (from `DTS.Common.Enums.Sensors`).  

---

### 3. Invariants  
- `TestSummaryList` must be an `ObservableCollection<ITestSummary>` to support UI binding and change notifications.  
- `SelectedTestSummaryList` is a plain `List<ITestSummary>`; selection state is *not* automatically synchronized with `TestSummaryList`. The caller must call `PublishSelectedTestSummaryList()` to propagate changes.  
- `TestSummaryList_CollectionChanged` must be subscribed to `TestSummaryList.CollectionChanged` to maintain consistency between the full list and the selected list.  
- `IsSelected` on individual `ITestSummary` instances reflects UI selection state but is *not* the source of truth for `SelectedTestSummaryList`; the latter is the authoritative list of selected items.  
- `Parent` on `ITestSummary` must be non-null if the summary is part of a view model hierarchy (implied by `IBaseViewModel` inheritance).  

---

### 4. Dependencies  

#### This module depends on:  
- `DTS.Common.Base` (for `IBaseView`, `IBaseViewModel`, `IBaseClass`)  
- `System.Collections.Generic`, `System.Collections.ObjectModel`, `System.Collections.Specialized` (for collection types)  
- `DTS.Common.Interface.TestDefinition` (for `ITestSummary`, `ITestGraphs`, `ITestChannel`, `ITestMetadata`)  
- `DTS.Common.Enums.Sensors` (for `CalibrationBehaviors` enum)  

#### This module is depended upon by:  
- Likely concrete implementations of `ITestSummaryListView` (e.g., WPF `UserControl` or `Window`)  
- View model implementations of `ITestSummaryListViewModel` (e.g., `TestSummaryListViewModel`)  
- Any module responsible for publishing or consuming selected test summaries (e.g., analysis or reporting modules)  

---

### 5. Gotchas  
- `SelectedTestSummaryList` is a `List<T>`, not `ObservableCollection<T>`, meaning UI selection changes (e.g., via checkboxes) must manually update this list and call `PublishSelectedTestSummaryList()` to notify consumers.  
- `TestSummaryList_CollectionChanged` is exposed as a public method but not declared as an event handler in the interface; callers must manually wire it to `TestSummaryList.CollectionChanged`.  
- `IsSelected` on `ITestSummary` is a *view-level* property (likely bound to UI controls) but does not drive `SelectedTestSummaryList`; relying on it as the source of truth for selection will cause inconsistencies.  
- No documentation is provided for *when* `PublishSelectedTestSummaryList()` should be called (e.g., on selection change, on save, or manually). This behavior is implementation-specific.  
- The relationship between `FileDate` and `TimeStamp` is ambiguous (e.g., which is more reliable for sorting?); no guidance is given.  
- None of the `List<T>` properties (`Graphs`, `Channels`, `CalculatedChannels`) are initialized in the interface; implementations must ensure non-null initialization to avoid `NullReferenceException`.  
- None identified from source alone.
