    • Dialyzer type checking
    • Credo code quality

  2. Nightly:

    • Full integration suite
    • Property-based tests
    • Performance benchmarks
    • Stress tests

Local Development

# Fast feedback loop
mix test --only unit

# Before pushing
mix test
mix dialyzer
mix credo --strict

Known Issues & Mitigations

Test Isolation

  • Issue: Parallel test execution causes registry conflicts
  • Mitigation: Use unique registry IDs per test
  • Long-term: Implement test-specific registry isolation

Timing Dependencies

  • Issue: Some tests rely on timing
  • Mitigation: Use explicit synchronization
  • Long-term: Remove all timing dependencies

Next Steps

  1. Immediate (This Sprint):

    • Complete MLFoundation module tests
    • Add property-based tests for registries
    • Performance benchmark suite

  2. Next Sprint:

    • Stress test implementation
    • Chaos testing framework
    • Load testing scenarios

  3. Future:

    • Distributed test scenarios
    • Multi-node testing
    • Production simulation tests
