The pain

Test suites are outdated and mix obsolete concepts with unimplemented features, making reliable backend validation difficult.

Who'd pay

Software development and QA teams maintaining applications with constantly evolving backends who need to keep tests up-to-date and reliable.

Signal that triggered it

"Test suite currently mixes old contracts, new allocator behavior, and planned-but-not-yet-implemented telemetry."

Original post

Test suite review: update and fix all tests.

Published: 6 hours ago

Test suite currently mixes old contracts, new allocator behavior, and planned-but-not-yet-implemented telemetry. A good part is still useful, but several tests are now stale and will fail against the current server.js. The biggest mismatches are around heartbeat_at, worker progress telemetry, /api/v1/stats shape, and a few legacy assumptions. The suite covers work assignment, submit semantics, reclaim behavior, admin endpoints, allocator bootstrap behavior, virtual chunk allocation invariants, late FOUND handling, and auth. However, tests are in three generations: current valid tests, tests for old or removed concepts, and tests for telemetry/UI-support fields not yet implemented in backend. Helpers.js has obsolete alloc_order_vchunks table and heartbeat_at exists in test schema but not in current backend migrations/logic. Recommendations include removing obsolete tables and aligning test schema with production. Some tests remain good and valuable regression tests. Others are stale or incompatible, especially around heartbeat_at telemetry.
