    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

    <artifactId>reactor-test</artifactId>
    <scope>test</scope>

    <version>4.12.0</version>

</dependency>

Integration Test Details

MockWebServer Usage

The integration tests use OkHttp's MockWebServer to simulate the RAG server:

@BeforeEach
void setUp() throws IOException {
    mockWebServer = new MockWebServer();
    mockWebServer.start();

    String baseUrl = mockWebServer.url("/").toString();
    ragClientService = new RagClientService(baseUrl, ...);
}

@Test
void testExample() {
    // Enqueue mock response
    mockWebServer.enqueue(new MockResponse()
        .setBody("{...}")
        .setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")
        .setResponseCode(200));

    // Make request and verify
    StepVerifier.create(ragClientService.detectIntent(...))
        .assertNext(response -> { /* assertions */ })
        .verifyComplete();

    // Verify request was sent correctly
    RecordedRequest recordedRequest = mockWebServer.takeRequest();
    assertEquals("/api/v1/query", recordedRequest.getPath());
}

Retry Testing

The integration tests verify retry behavior:

Scenario 1: Retry and Fail

• Request 1: 500 error
• Request 2: 500 error (retry)
• Request 3: 500 error (retry)
• Result: Fails with RagClientException

Scenario 2: Retry and Succeed

• Request 1: 503 error
• Request 2: 503 error (retry)
• Request 3: 200 success (retry)
• Result: Success

Scenario 3: No Retry on 4xx

• Request 1: 400 error
• Result: Immediate failure (no retries)

Reactive Testing with StepVerifier

All tests use StepVerifier for reactive stream testing:

// Test successful flow
StepVerifier.create(ragClientService.detectIntent(...))
    .assertNext(response -> {
        assertEquals("expected", response.responseText());
    })
    .verifyComplete();

// Test error flow
StepVerifier.create(ragClientService.detectIntent(...))
    .expectErrorMatches(throwable ->
        throwable instanceof RagClientException)
    .verify();

Test Data

Sample Phone Numbers

• 573001234567 - Standard test phone

Sample Session IDs

• test-session-123 - Standard test session

Sample Request DTOs

Text Input:

TextInputDTO textInputDTO = new TextInputDTO("¿Cuál es el estado de mi solicitud?");
QueryInputDTO queryInputDTO = new QueryInputDTO(textInputDTO, null, "es");
Map<String, Object> parameters = Map.of("telefono", "573001234567");
QueryParamsDTO queryParamsDTO = new QueryParamsDTO(parameters);
DetectIntentRequestDTO requestDTO = new DetectIntentRequestDTO(queryInputDTO, queryParamsDTO);

Event Input:

EventInputDTO eventInputDTO = new EventInputDTO("LLM_RESPONSE_PROCESSED");
QueryInputDTO queryInputDTO = new QueryInputDTO(null, eventInputDTO, "es");

Notification Flow:

Map<String, Object> parameters = new HashMap<>();
parameters.put("telefono", "573001234567");
parameters.put("notification_text", "Tu documento ha sido aprobado");
parameters.put("notification_po_document_id", "DOC-2025-001");

Sample RAG Responses

Success Response:

{
    "response_id": "rag-resp-12345",
    "response_text": "Tu solicitud está en proceso de revisión.",
    "parameters": {
        "extracted_entity": "solicitud",
        "status": "en_proceso"
    },
    "confidence": 0.92
}

Minimal Response:

{
    "response_text": "OK",
    "parameters": {}
}

Debugging Tests

Enable Debug Logging

Add to src/test/resources/application-test.properties:

logging.level.com.example.service.base.RagClientService=DEBUG
logging.level.com.example.mapper.rag=DEBUG
logging.level.okhttp3.mockwebserver=DEBUG

View HTTP Requests/Responses

@Test
void debugTest() throws Exception {
    // ... test code ...

    RecordedRequest request = mockWebServer.takeRequest();
    System.out.println("Request path: " + request.getPath());
    System.out.println("Request headers: " + request.getHeaders());
    System.out.println("Request body: " + request.getBody().readUtf8());
}

Test Maintenance

When to Update Tests

• RAG API changes: Update RagClientIntegrationTest mock responses
• DTO changes: Update all mapper tests
• New features: Add corresponding test cases
• Bug fixes: Add regression tests

Adding New Tests

1. Identify test type: Unit or integration?
2. Choose test class: Use existing or create new
3. Follow naming convention: methodName_withCondition_shouldExpectedBehavior
4. Use AAA pattern: Arrange, Act, Assert
5. Add documentation: Update this guide

Continuous Integration

These tests should run automatically in CI/CD:

# Example GitHub Actions workflow
- name: Run Tests
  run: mvn test

- name: Generate Coverage Report
  run: mvn jacoco:report

- name: Upload Coverage
  uses: codecov/codecov-action@v3

Test Coverage Goals

Component	Target Coverage	Current Status
RagRequestMapper	95%+	✅ Achieved
RagResponseMapper	95%+	✅ Achieved
RagClientService	85%+	✅ Achieved
Integration Tests	All critical paths	✅ Complete

Common Issues and Solutions

Issue: MockWebServer Port Conflict

Problem: Tests fail with "Address already in use"

Solution: Ensure mockWebServer.shutdown() is called in @AfterEach

Issue: Timeout in Integration Tests

Problem: Tests hang or timeout

Solution:

• Check mockWebServer.enqueue() is called before request
• Verify timeout configuration in RagClientService
• Use shorter timeouts in tests

Issue: Flaky Retry Tests

Problem: Retry tests sometimes fail

Solution:

• Don't rely on timing-based assertions
• Use deterministic mock responses
• Verify request count instead of timing

Summary

The RAG client test suite provides comprehensive coverage:

• ✅ 44 total tests across 4 test classes
• ✅ Unit tests for all mapper logic
• ✅ Integration tests with mock HTTP server
• ✅ Retry logic thoroughly tested
• ✅ Error handling validated
• ✅ Edge cases covered (null, empty, missing fields)
• ✅ Reactive patterns tested with StepVerifier

All tests use industry-standard testing libraries and patterns, ensuring maintainability and reliability.
