Testing Suite Implementation - Complete

Overview

This PR adds a comprehensive testing framework for Bash Buddy v2.1.0 with automated testing for all operating modes, performance benchmarking, and detailed reporting capabilities.

What's Added

🧪 Test Framework (tests/test-framework.sh)

• Modular testing utilities and helper functions
• Performance timing and benchmarking
• JSON, Markdown, and HTML report generation
• Color-coded output for readability
• Test statistics tracking

📝 Test Suites

1. Non-Interactive Mode Tests (tests/test-all-modes.sh)

45+ test cases covering:

• Help & informational modes (--help, --list)
• Natural language queries (ask, task)
• Category browsing (category files/text/network/system)
• Command explanation (explain)
• Direct flag lookup (command filter)
• AI mode with Ollama/NL2SH (if available)
• Error handling and edge cases
• Performance benchmarks (10 iterations each)

Test coverage:

• ✅ All 10 operating modes
• ✅ Error conditions and invalid inputs
• ✅ Special characters and long queries
• ✅ Output validation for expected content
• ✅ Exit code verification

2. Interactive Mode Tests (tests/test-interactive-mode.sh)

Automated testing for fzf-based interactive mode:

• Launch and exit verification
• Command selection and flag display
• Filtering by category/keyword
• Multiple command testing (ls, tar, find)
• Startup performance benchmarking

Uses expect automation to simulate user interaction without manual input.

3. Performance Analysis (tests/analyze-performance.sh)

Comprehensive performance analysis tool:

• Historical performance comparison
• Benchmark result aggregation
• Performance target validation
• Slowest/fastest test identification
• Generate Markdown and HTML reports
• Export to JSON for CI/CD integration

One-command test execution:

cd tests/ && ./run-all-tests.sh

Features:

• Pre-flight dependency checks
• Sequential test suite execution
• Overall pass/fail summary
• Generate all reports automatically
• CI/CD-friendly exit codes
• Detailed logging for debugging
