# Text Tests Deep Dive and Migration Analysis

## Overview

The `Text/` folder in UnitTests contains **27 tests** across 2 files that focus on text formatting and autocomplete functionality. This analysis examines each test to determine migration feasibility.

## Test Files Summary

| File | Total Tests | AutoInitShutdown | SetupFakeDriver | No Attributes | Migratable |
|------|-------------|------------------|-----------------|---------------|------------|
| TextFormatterTests.cs | 23 | 0 | 18 | 5 | 15-18 (refactor) |
| AutocompleteTests.cs | 4 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 2 (migrated) |
| **TOTAL** | **27** | **2** | **18** | **7** | **17-20 (63-74%)** |

  - Verifies state changes across multiple interactions

## TextFormatterTests.cs - Detailed Analysis

### Test Categorization

All 23 tests use `[SetupFakeDriver]` and test TextFormatter's Draw() method. However, many are testing **formatting logic** rather than actual **rendering**.

### 🟡 REFACTORABLE TESTS (15-18 tests can be converted)

These tests can be converted from testing Draw() output to testing Format() logic:

#### Horizontal Alignment Tests (10 tests) - HIGH PRIORITY
1. **Draw_Horizontal_Centered** (Theory with 9 InlineData)
   - Tests horizontal centering logic
   - **Conversion:** Use Format() instead of Draw(), verify string output
   
2. **Draw_Horizontal_Justified** (Theory with 9 InlineData)
   - Tests text justification (Fill alignment)
   - **Conversion:** Use Format() instead of Draw()
   
3. **Draw_Horizontal_Left** (Theory with 8 InlineData)
   - Tests left alignment
   - **Conversion:** Use Format() instead of Draw()
   
4. **Draw_Horizontal_Right** (Theory with 8 InlineData)
   - Tests right alignment
   - **Conversion:** Use Format() instead of Draw()

#### Direction Tests (2 tests)
5. **Draw_Horizontal_RightLeft_TopBottom** (Theory with 11 InlineData)
   - Tests right-to-left text direction
   - **Conversion:** Use Format() to test string manipulation logic
   
6. **Draw_Horizontal_RightLeft_BottomTop** (Theory with 9 InlineData)
   - Tests right-to-left, bottom-to-top direction
   - **Conversion:** Use Format() to test string manipulation

#### Size Calculation Tests (2 tests) - EASY WINS
7. **FormatAndGetSize_Returns_Correct_Size**
   - Tests size calculation without actually rendering
   - **Conversion:** Already doesn't need Draw(), just remove SetupFakeDriver
   
8. **FormatAndGetSize_WordWrap_False_Returns_Correct_Size**
   - Tests size calculation with word wrap disabled
   - **Conversion:** Already doesn't need Draw(), just remove SetupFakeDriver

#### Tab Handling Tests (3 tests) - EASY WINS
9. **TabWith_PreserveTrailingSpaces_False**
   - Tests tab expansion logic
   - **Conversion:** Use Format() to verify tab handling
   
10. **TabWith_PreserveTrailingSpaces_True**
    - Tests tab expansion with preserved spaces
    - **Conversion:** Use Format() to verify tab handling
    
11. **TabWith_WordWrap_True**
    - Tests tab handling with word wrap
    - **Conversion:** Use Format() to verify logic

### ❌ KEEP IN UNITTESTS (5-8 tests require actual rendering)

These tests verify actual console driver behavior and should remain:

#### Vertical Layout Tests (Variable - need individual assessment)
12. **Draw_Vertical_BottomTop_LeftRight**
    - Complex vertical text layout
    - May need driver to verify correct glyph positioning
    
13. **Draw_Vertical_BottomTop_RightLeft**
    - Complex vertical text with RTL
    - May need driver behavior
    
14. **Draw_Vertical_Bottom_Horizontal_Right**
    - Mixed orientation layout
    - Driver-dependent positioning
    
15. **Draw_Vertical_TopBottom_LeftRight**
16. **Draw_Vertical_TopBottom_LeftRight_Middle**
17. **Draw_Vertical_TopBottom_LeftRight_Top**
    - Various vertical alignments
    - Some may be convertible, others may need driver

#### Unicode/Rendering Tests (MUST STAY)
18. **Draw_With_Combining_Runes**
    - Tests Unicode combining character rendering
    - **Must stay:** Verifies actual glyph composition in driver
    
19. **Draw_Vertical_Throws_IndexOutOfRangeException_With_Negative_Bounds**
    - Tests error handling with invalid bounds
    - **Must stay:** Tests Draw() method directly

#### Complex Tests (NEED INDIVIDUAL REVIEW)
20. **Draw_Text_Justification** (Theory with 44 InlineData)
    - Massive test with many scenarios
    - Some may be convertible, others may need driver
    
21. **Justify_Horizontal**
    - Tests justification logic
    - Possibly convertible
    
22. **UICatalog_AboutBox_Text**
    - Tests real-world complex text
    - May need driver for full verification

## Conversion Strategy

### Step 1: Easy Conversions (5 tests - 30 minutes)
Convert tests that already mostly test logic:
- FormatAndGetSize_Returns_Correct_Size
- FormatAndGetSize_WordWrap_False_Returns_Correct_Size
- TabWith_PreserveTrailingSpaces_False
- TabWith_PreserveTrailingSpaces_True
- TabWith_WordWrap_True

**Change required:**
```csharp
// Before
[SetupFakeDriver]
[Theory]
[InlineData(...)]
public void Test_Name(params)
{
    tf.Draw(...);
    DriverAssert.AssertDriverContentsWithFrameAre(expected, _output);
}

// After  
[Theory]
[InlineData(...)]
public void Test_Name(params)
{
    var result = tf.Format();
    Assert.Equal(expected, result);
}
```

### Step 2: Alignment Test Conversions (10 tests - 1-2 hours)
Convert horizontal alignment tests (Centered, Justified, Left, Right):
- Replace Draw() with Format()
- Remove DriverAssert, use Assert.Equal on string
- Test output logic without driver

### Step 3: Direction Test Conversions (2 tests - 30 minutes)
Convert RightLeft direction tests:
- These manipulate strings, not render-specific
- Use Format() to verify string reversal logic

### Step 4: Evaluate Vertical Tests (Variable - 1-2 hours)
Individually assess each vertical test:
- Some may be convertible to Format() logic tests
- Others genuinely test driver glyph positioning
- Keep those that need driver behavior

### Step 5: Complex Test Assessment (3 tests - 1-2 hours)
Evaluate Draw_Text_Justification, Justify_Horizontal, UICatalog_AboutBox_Text:
- May require splitting into logic + rendering tests
- Logic parts can migrate, rendering parts stay

## Expected Results

### After Full Migration
- **Migrated to Parallelizable:** 17-20 tests (63-74%)
- **Remaining in UnitTests:** 7-10 tests (26-37%)
  - 2 Autocomplete integration tests
  - 5-8 TextFormatter rendering tests

### Performance Impact
- **Current Text/ tests:** ~10.18s for 467 tests (from performance analysis)
- **After migration:** Estimated 8-9s for remaining integration tests
- **Savings:** ~1.2-2.2s (12-22% reduction in Text/ folder)

### Test Quality Improvements
1. **Better test focus:** Separates logic testing from rendering testing
2. **Faster feedback:** Logic tests run in parallel without driver overhead
3. **Clearer intent:** Tests named Format_* clearly test logic, Draw_* test rendering
4. **Easier maintenance:** Logic tests don't depend on driver implementation details

## Conclusion

The Text/ folder is an excellent candidate for migration because:

1. **2 tests already migrated** with zero refactoring (AutocompleteTests)
2. **15-18 tests are testing logic** but using driver unnecessarily
3. **Clear conversion pattern** exists (Draw → Format)
4. **High success rate:** 63-74% of tests can be migrated

The remaining 26-37% are legitimate integration tests that verify actual rendering behavior and should appropriately remain in UnitTests.

## Next Steps

1. ✅ **DONE:** Migrate 2 AutocompleteTests (Test_GenerateSuggestions_Simple, TestSettingSchemeOnAutocomplete)
2. **TODO:** Convert 5 easy TextFormatterTests (FormatAndGetSize, TabWith tests)
3. **TODO:** Convert 10 alignment tests (Horizontal Centered/Justified/Left/Right)
4. **TODO:** Assess and convert 2-5 additional tests
5. **TODO:** Document remaining tests as integration tests
