# Testing Anti-Patterns
**Load this reference when:** writing or changing tests, adding mocks, or tempted to add test-only methods to production code.
## Overview
Tests must verify real behavior, not mock behavior. Mocks are a means to isolate, not the thing being tested.
**Core principle:** Test what the code does, not what the mocks do.
**Following strict TDD prevents these anti-patterns.**
## The Iron Laws
```
1. NEVER test mock behavior
2. NEVER add test-only methods to production classes
3. NEVER mock without understanding dependencies
```
## Anti-Pattern 1: Testing Mock Behavior
**The violation:**
```typescript
// ❌ BAD: Testing that the mock exists
test('renders sidebar', () => {
render(<Page />);
expect(screen.getByTestId('sidebar-mock')).toBeInTheDocument();
});
```
**Why this is wrong:**
- You're verifying the mock works, not that the component works
- Test passes when mock is present, fails when it's not
- Tells you nothing about real behavior
**your human partner's correction:** "Are we testing the behavior of a mock?"
**The fix:**
```typescript
// ✅ GOOD: Test real component or don't mock it
test('renders sidebar', () => {
render(<Page />); // Don't mock sidebar
expect(screen.getByRole('navigation')).toBeInTheDocument();
});
// OR if sidebar must be mocked for isolation:
// Don't assert on the mock - test Page's behavior with sidebar present
```
### Gate Function
```
BEFORE asserting on any mock element:
Ask: "Am I testing real component behavior or just mock existence?"
IF testing mock existence:
STOP - Delete the assertion or unmock the component
Test real behavior instead
```
## Anti-Pattern 2: Test-Only Methods in Production
**The violation:**
```typescript
// ❌ BAD: destroy() only used in tests
class Session {
async destroy() { // Looks like production API!
await this._workspaceManager?.destroyWorkspace(this.id);
// ... cleanup
}
}
// In tests
afterEach(() => session.destroy());
```
**Why this is wrong:**
- Production class polluted with test-only code
- Dangerous if accidentally called in production
- Violates YAGNI and separation of concerns
- Confuses object lifecycle with entity lifecycle
**The fix:**
```typescript
// ✅ GOOD: Test utilities handle test cleanup
// Session has no destroy() - it's stateless in production
// In test-utils/
export async function cleanupSession(session: Session) {
const workspace = session.getWorkspaceInfo();
if (workspace) {
await workspaceManager.destroyWorkspace(workspace.id);
}
}
// In tests
afterEach(() => cleanupSession(session));
```
### Gate Function
```
BEFORE adding any method to production class:
Ask: "Is this only used by tests?"
IF yes:
STOP - Don't add it
Put it in test utilities instead
Ask: "Does this class own this resource's lifecycle?"
IF no:
STOP - Wrong class for this method
```
## Anti-Pattern 3: Mocking Without Understanding
**The violation:**
```typescript
// ❌ BAD: Mock breaks test logic
test('detects duplicate server', () => {
// Mock prevents config write that test depends on!
vi.mock('ToolCatalog', () => ({
discoverAndCacheTools: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue(undefined)
}));
await addServer(config);
await addServer(config); // Should throw - but won't!
});
```
**Why this is wrong:**
- Mocked method had side effect test depended on (writing config)
- Over-mocking to "be safe" breaks actual behavior
- Test passes for wrong reason or fails mysteriously
**The fix:**
```typescript
// ✅ GOOD: Mock at correct level
test('detects duplicate server', () => {
// Mock the slow part, preserve behavior test needs
vi.mock('MCPServerManager'); // Just mock slow server startup
await addServer(config); // Config written
await addServer(config); // Duplicate detected ✓
});
```
### Gate Function
```
BEFORE mocking any method:
STOP - Don't mock yet
1. Ask: "What side effects does the real method have?"
2. Ask: "Does this test depend on any of those side effects?"
3. Ask: "Do I fully understand what this test needs?"
IF depends on side effects:
Mock at lower level (the actual slow/external operation)
OR use test doubles that preserve necessary behavior
NOT the high-level method the test depends on
IF unsure what test depends on:
Run test with real implementation FIRST
Observe what actually needs to happen
THEN add minimal mocking at the right level
Red flags:
- "I'll mock this to be safe"
- "This might be slow, better mock it"
- Mocking without understanding the dependency chain
```
## Anti-Pattern 4: Incomplete Mocks
**The violation:**
```typescript
// ❌ BAD: Partial mock - only fields you think you need
const mockResponse = {
status: 'success',
data: { userId: '123', name: 'Alice' }
// Missing: metadata that downstream code uses
};
// Later: breaks when code accesses response.metadata.requestId
```
**Why this is wrong:**
- **Partial mocks hide structural assumptions** - You only mocked fields you know about
- **Downstream code may depend on fields you didn't include** - Silent failures
- **Tests pass but integration fails** - Mock incomplete, real API complete
- **False confidence** - Test proves nothing about real behavior
**The Iron Rule:** Mock the COMPLETE data structure as it exists in reality, not just fields your immediate test uses.
**The fix:**
```typescript
// ✅ GOOD: Mirror real API completeness
const mockResponse = {
status: 'success',
data: { userId: '123', name: 'Alice' },
metadata: { requestId: 'req-789', timestamp: 1234567890 }
// All fields real API returns
};
```
### Gate Function
```
BEFORE creating mock responses:
Check: "What fields does the real API response contain?"
Actions:
1. Examine actual API response from docs/examples
2. Include ALL fields system might consume downstream
3. Verify mock matches real response schema completely
Critical:
If you're creating a mock, you must understand the ENTIRE structure
Partial mocks fail silently when code depends on omitted fields
If uncertain: Include all documented fields
```
## Anti-Pattern 5: Integration Tests as Afterthought
**The violation:**
```
✅ Implementation complete
❌ No tests written
"Ready for testing"
```
**Why this is wrong:**
- Testing is part of implementation, not optional follow-up
- TDD would have caught this
- Can't claim complete without tests
**The fix:**
```
TDD cycle:
1. Write failing test
2. Implement to pass
3. Refactor
4. THEN claim complete
```
## When Mocks Become Too Complex
**Warning signs:**
- Mock setup longer than test logic
- Mocking everything to make test pass
- Mocks missing methods real components have
- Test breaks when mock changes
**your human partner's question:** "Do we need to be using a mock here?"
**Consider:** Integration tests with real components often simpler than complex mocks
## TDD Prevents These Anti-Patterns
**Why TDD helps:**
1. **Write test first** → Forces you to think about what you're actually testing
2. **Watch it fail** → Confirms test tests real behavior, not mocks
3. **Minimal implementation** → No test-only methods creep in
4. **Real dependencies** → You see what the test actually needs before mocking
**If you're testing mock behavior, you violated TDD** - you added mocks without watching test fail against real code first.
## Quick Reference
| Anti-Pattern | Fix |
|--------------|-----|
| Assert on mock elements | Test real component or unmock it |
| Test-only methods in production | Move to test utilities |
| Mock without understanding | Understand dependencies first, mock minimally |
| Incomplete mocks | Mirror real API completely |
| Tests as afterthought | TDD - tests first |
| Over-complex mocks | Consider integration tests |
## Red Flags
- Assertion checks for `*-mock` test IDs
- Methods only called in test files
- Mock setup is >50% of test
- Test fails when you remove mock
- Can't explain why mock is needed
- Mocking "just to be safe"
## The Bottom Line
**Mocks are tools to isolate, not things to test.**
If TDD reveals you're testing mock behavior, you've gone wrong.
Fix: Test real behavior or question why you're mocking at all.
