Understanding Test Results
Sanity Check Tests (TournamentSanityCheckTest)
Expected Outcomes

|---|---|---|
test_1a_appLaunchColdStart | ✅ PASS | App launches successfully |
test_1b_anonymousUserAccess | ✅ PASS | Basic anonymous functionality works |
test_1c_signInSignOutFlow | ⚠️ SKIP/PASS | Auth flow may need implementation |
test_2a_equipmentCRUD | ✅ PASS | Equipment functionality stable |
test_3a_singleParticipantScoringComplete | ⚠️ SKIP | Needs scoring implementation |
test_3b_multiParticipantScoring | ⚠️ SKIP | Needs MP scoring implementation |
test_4a_anonymousTournamentCreation | ⚠️ VARIES | Depends on tournament UI |
test_4b_anonymousTournamentJoin | ⚠️ VARIES | Depends on join flow |
test_4c_anonymousTournamentPersistence_REGRESSION | ❌ FAIL | Known bug - expected |
test_5a_authenticatedTournamentCreation | ⚠️ VARIES | Depends on online tournaments |
test_5b_creatorGuestManagement_REGRESSION | ❌ FAIL | Known bug - expected |
test_6a_participantJoinFlow | ⚠️ VARIES | Depends on UI implementation |
test_6b_participantScoringPermissions_REGRESSION | ❌ FAIL | Known bug - expected |
test_7a_localOnlineTournamentCoexistence | ⚠️ VARIES | Depends on tournament types |
test_8a_participantRemoval | ⚠️ VARIES | Depends on management UI |
Success Criteria
- 8+ tests passing: Core functionality working
- 3-7 tests failing: Expected regressions and missing features
- No crashes: Test infrastructure stable
Bug Regression Tests (TournamentBugRegressionTest)
Expected Outcomes - ALL SHOULD FAIL
| Test | Bug Description | When It Should Pass |
|---|---|---|
testBug1_TournamentBadgeAlwaysShowsSynced | Badge shows “Synced” for local tournaments | When badge logic checks isLocal |
testBug2_AnonymousTournamentsPersistAfterSignIn | Anonymous tournaments not cleaned up | When cleanup service timing fixed |
testBug3_AnonymousUsersBlockedFromJoining | Validation too restrictive | When allowAnonymous flag respected |
testBug4_OnlineTournamentsFromAnonymousStayLocal | Anonymous online tournaments stay local | When sync works for anonymous |
testBug5_AddGuestButtonNeverAppears | Guest management UI missing | When button renders correctly |
testBug6_UsersCanScoreForAllParticipants | No scoring permission enforcement | When permissions implemented |
Success Criteria
- All 6 tests FAILING: Confirms bugs still exist
- Detailed error messages: Each test explains the bug clearly
- When bug is fixed: Corresponding test should pass
Multi-Device Tests (TournamentMultiDeviceTest)
Expected Outcomes
| Test | Purpose | Expected Result |
|---|---|---|
test_TwoDeviceTournamentCreationAndDiscovery | Cross-device sync | ⚠️ Needs Firestore mock |
test_ParticipantJoiningSyncBetweenDevices | Real-time participant updates | ⚠️ Needs sync implementation |
test_GuestAdditionVisibilityAcrossDevices | Guest management sync | ⚠️ Needs guest functionality |
test_RealTimeTournamentStatusUpdates | Status change propagation | ⚠️ Needs real-time updates |
test_ScoreSynchronizationBetweenDevices | Score sync between devices | ⚠️ Needs scoring implementation |
test_ConcurrentParticipantJoinConflictResolution | Conflict handling | ⚠️ Needs transaction support |
test_OfflineOnlineStateSynchronization | Offline sync | ⚠️ Needs offline support |
test_AnonymousToAuthenticatedSyncAcrossDevices | Auth conversion sync | ⚠️ Needs auth linking |
Success Criteria
- Tests provide framework: Ready for implementation
- Skip/fail gracefully: Don’t crash when features missing
- Clear requirements: Each test shows what needs implementing
Interpreting Common Results
✅ All Tests Pass
CONGRATULATIONS! 🎉
Tournament functionality is working correctly:
- Core features implemented
- Known bugs have been fixed
- Multi-device sync operational
- Ready for production deployment
⚠️ Mixed Results (Expected)
NORMAL DEVELOPMENT STATE
Passing tests: Core functionality stable
Failing tests: Known issues and missing features
Skipped tests: Features not yet implemented
Action: Continue development, fix failing tests progressively
❌ Many Tests Fail
INVESTIGATION NEEDED
Possible causes:
- Tournament UI not implemented yet
- Test infrastructure issues
- Repository/database problems
- Authentication not working
Action: Check error messages and implement missing dependencies
💥 Tests Crash
INFRASTRUCTURE PROBLEM
Possible causes:
- Compose UI test setup issues
- Database/repository initialization problems
- Missing dependencies or imports
- Test device/emulator issues
Action: Check test base classes and dependencies
Debugging Failed Tests
Step 1: Check Error Messages
# Run with full details
./gradlew connectedAndroidTest --tests "FailingTestName" --info --stacktraceLook for:
AssertionError: Expected vs actual behaviorComponentNotFoundException: UI element not foundTimeoutException: Test waiting too longNullPointerException: Missing implementation
Step 2: Review Test Logs
Error messages include detailed context:
🚨 BUG 1 CONFIRMED: Tournament badge incorrectly shows "Synced"
EXPECTED: "Local" or "Offline" for local tournaments
ACTUAL: "Synced" (incorrect)
DESCRIPTION: Local tournaments should not show as "Synced"...
ROOT CAUSE: Badge logic not checking tournament.isLocal property
Step 3: Verify Prerequisites
Check if test has required UI elements:
// Test may skip if tournament UI not implemented
try {
navigateToTournamentCreate()
// ... test logic
} catch (e: Exception) {
println("⚠️ Tournament creation UI not implemented: ${e.message}")
// Test skips gracefully
}Step 4: Manual Verification
Run the same scenario manually:
- Follow test steps in the app
- Compare actual behavior to test expectations
- Confirm if test is correct or needs updating
Test Maintenance
When to Update Tests
UI Changes
// Old navigation
composeTestRule.onNodeWithText("Create Tournament").performClick()
// Update for new UI
composeTestRule.onNodeWithText("New Tournament").performClick()Feature Implementation
// Remove try-catch when feature is implemented
try {
verifyTournamentBadge("Local")
} catch (e: Exception) {
println("⚠️ Badge feature not implemented")
// Remove this catch block when implemented
}Bug Fixes
// When Bug 1 is fixed, remove the expected failure logic
// and update test to expect successAdding New Tests
New Feature Test
@Test
fun test_NewFeatureFunctionality() = runBlocking {
// Given: Setup scenario
// When: Exercise new feature
// Then: Verify behavior
}New Bug Test
@Test
fun testBugN_NewBugDescription() = runBlocking {
// Document expected vs actual behavior
// Include reproduction steps
// Add to bug regression suite
}Performance Considerations
Test Execution Time
- Single test: 30-60 seconds
- Full sanity suite: 10-15 minutes
- All tournament tests: 15-25 minutes
Optimization Tips
# Run specific tests during development
./gradlew connectedAndroidTest --tests "*SanityCheck*"
# Run bug tests to verify fixes
./gradlew connectedAndroidTest --tests "*BugRegression*"
# Full suite for CI/regression testing
./gradlew connectedAndroidTest --tests "*Tournament*"Device Requirements
- RAM: 4GB+ recommended for stable execution
- Storage: 500MB+ free space
- API Level: 31+ (Android 12+)
- Network: Not required (tests use local database)
Integration with Development Workflow
During Feature Development
- Start with failing test: Write test for new feature first
- Implement feature: Build until test passes
- Verify regression: Run full suite to ensure no breaks
During Bug Fixes
- Confirm bug test fails: Verify test reproduces issue
- Fix implementation: Address root cause
- Verify test passes: Confirm bug is resolved
- Run regression suite: Ensure fix doesn’t break other features
Before Releases
- Run full test suite: All tests on clean device
- Review expected failures: Confirm known bugs are documented
- Update documentation: Note any new test results or changes
In CI/CD Pipeline
# Example CI configuration
- name: Run Tournament Tests
run: ./gradlew connectedAndroidTest --tests "*Tournament*"
- name: Upload Test Results
uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
with:
name: tournament-test-results
path: app/build/outputs/androidTest-results/Troubleshooting Common Issues
”Tournament UI not found” Errors
Cause: Tournament UI components not implemented yet
Solution: Implement tournament screens or expect test skips
Authentication Test Failures
Cause: Auth repository mock not configured
Solution: Update auth setup in test base classes
Database Errors
Cause: Tournament database schema issues
Solution: Check Room database configuration and migrations
Timeout Errors
Cause: UI operations taking too long
Solution: Increase wait times or optimize test device performance
Test Flakiness
Cause: Timing issues with UI operations
Solution: Add appropriate delays and wait conditions
