# RuVector PostgreSQL Extension - Test Suite

## 📋 Overview

This directory contains the comprehensive test framework for ruvector-postgres, a high-performance PostgreSQL vector similarity search extension. The test suite consists of **9 test files** with **3,276 lines** of test code, providing extensive coverage across all components.

## 🗂️ Test Files

### 1. `unit_vector_tests.rs` (677 lines)
**Core RuVector type unit tests**

Tests the primary f32 vector type with comprehensive coverage:
- Vector creation and initialization
- Varlena serialization/deserialization (PostgreSQL binary format)
- Vector arithmetic (add, subtract, multiply, dot product)
- Normalization and norms
- String parsing and formatting
- Memory layout and alignment
- Equality and cloning
- Edge cases (empty, single element, large dimensions)

**Test Count**: 59 unit tests

**Example**:
```rust
#[test]
fn test_varlena_roundtrip_basic() {
    unsafe {
        let v1 = RuVector::from_slice(&[1.0, 2.0, 3.0]);
        let varlena = v1.to_varlena();
        let v2 = RuVector::from_varlena(varlena);
        assert_eq!(v1, v2);
        pgrx::pg_sys::pfree(varlena as *mut std::ffi::c_void);
    }
}
```

### 2. `unit_halfvec_tests.rs` (330 lines)
**Half-precision (f16) vector type tests**

Tests memory-efficient half-precision vectors:
- F32 to F16 conversion with precision analysis
- Round-trip conversion validation
- Memory efficiency verification (50% size reduction)
- Accuracy preservation within f16 bounds
- Edge cases (small values, large values, zeros)
- Numerical range testing

**Test Count**: 21 unit tests

**Key Verification**: Memory savings of ~50% with acceptable precision loss

### 3. `integration_distance_tests.rs` (400 lines)
**pgrx integration tests running inside PostgreSQL**

Tests the SQL interface and operators:
- L2 (Euclidean) distance: `<->` operator
- Cosine distance: `<=>` operator
- Inner product: `<#>` operator
- L1 (Manhattan) distance: `<+>` operator
- SIMD consistency across vector sizes
- Error handling (dimension mismatches)
- Symmetry verification
- Zero vector edge cases

**Test Count**: 29 integration tests

**Requires**: PostgreSQL 14, 15, or 16 installed

**Run with**:
```bash
cargo pgrx test pg16
```

### 4. `property_based_tests.rs` (465 lines)
**Property-based tests using proptest**

Verifies mathematical properties with randomly generated inputs:

**Distance Function Properties**:
- Non-negativity: `d(a,b) ≥ 0`
- Symmetry: `d(a,b) = d(b,a)`
- Identity: `d(a,a) = 0`
- Triangle inequality: `d(a,c) ≤ d(a,b) + d(b,c)`
- Cosine distance range: `[0, 2]`

**Vector Operation Properties**:
- Normalization produces unit vectors
- Addition identity: `v + 0 = v`
- Subtraction inverse: `(a + b) - b = a`
- Scalar multiplication associativity
- Dot product commutativity
- Norm² = self·self

**Test Count**: 23 property tests × 100 random cases each = ~2,300 test executions

**Example**:
```rust
proptest! {
    #[test]
    fn prop_l2_distance_non_negative(
        v1 in prop::collection::vec(-1000.0f32..1000.0f32, 1..100),
        v2 in prop::collection::vec(-1000.0f32..1000.0f32, 1..100)
    ) {
        if v1.len() == v2.len() {
            let dist = euclidean_distance(&v1, &v2);
            prop_assert!(dist >= 0.0);
            prop_assert!(dist.is_finite());
        }
    }
}
```

### 5. `pgvector_compatibility_tests.rs` (360 lines)

- Nearest neighbor query ordering
- Known pgvector test values

**Test Count**: 19 compatibility tests

**Verified Against**: pgvector 0.5.x behavior

### 6. `stress_tests.rs` (520 lines)
**Concurrency and memory pressure tests**

Tests system stability under load:

**Concurrent Operations**:
- 8 threads × 100 vectors creation
- 16 threads × 1,000 distance calculations
- Concurrent normalization operations
- Shared read-only access (16 threads)

**Memory Pressure**:
- Large batch allocation (10,000 vectors)

        let scalar = scalar::euclidean_distance(&a, &b);

        #[cfg(target_arch = "x86_64")]
        if is_x86_feature_detected!("avx2") {
            let simd = simd::euclidean_distance_avx2_wrapper(&a, &b);
            assert!((scalar - simd).abs() < 1e-5);

## 🧪 Test Patterns

### 1. Unit Test Pattern
```rust
#[test]
fn test_feature_scenario() {
    // Arrange
    let input = setup_test_data();

    // Act
    let result = perform_operation(input);

    // Assert
    assert_eq!(result, expected);
}
```

### 2. Property Test Pattern
```rust
proptest! {
    #[test]
    fn prop_mathematical_property(
        input in strategy
    ) {
        let result = operation(input);
        prop_assert!(invariant_holds(result));
    }
}
```

### 3. Integration Test Pattern
```rust
#[pg_test]
fn test_sql_behavior() {
    let result = Spi::get_one::<f32>(
        "SELECT distance('[1,2,3]'::ruvector, '[4,5,6]'::ruvector)"
    );
    assert!(result.is_some());
}
```

## 🐛 Debugging Failed Tests

### Common Issues

1. **Floating Point Precision**
```rust
// ❌ Don't do this
assert_eq!(result, 1.0);

// ✅ Do this
assert!((result - 1.0).abs() < 1e-5);
```

2. **SIMD Availability**
```rust
#[cfg(target_arch = "x86_64")]
if is_x86_feature_detected!("avx2") {
    // Run AVX2-specific test
}
```

3. **PostgreSQL Memory Management**
```rust
unsafe {
    let ptr = allocate_postgres_memory();
    // Use ptr...
    pgrx::pg_sys::pfree(ptr);  // Always free!
}
```

### Verbose Test Output
```bash
cargo test test_name -- --nocapture
```

### Run Single Test
```bash
cargo test test_name -- --exact --nocapture
```

## 📝 Test Development Guidelines

### 1. Naming Convention
- `test_<component>_<scenario>` for unit tests
- `prop_<property>` for property-based tests
- Group related tests with common prefixes

### 2. Test Structure
- Use AAA pattern (Arrange, Act, Assert)
- One assertion per test when possible
- Clear failure messages

### 3. Edge Cases
Always test:
- Empty input
- Single element
- Very large input
- Negative values
- Zero values
- Boundary values (dimension limits)

### 4. Documentation
```rust
/// Test that L2 distance is symmetric: d(a,b) = d(b,a)
#[test]
fn test_l2_symmetry() {
    // Test implementation
}
```
