🧪 Testing Requirements for Next Phase

Regression Testing

Before making changes, run full test suite:

cd frontend
npm test
# Expected: 210+ tests passing

Integration Testing

When adding new features, test against Oxigraph:

# Ensure Oxigraph is running
./scripts/load-and-start.sh

# Run integration tests
npm run test:integration

Manual Testing

Use the testing checklist in TESTING_TASK7.md to verify:

• Query execution still works
• Export functionality unchanged
• Ontology visualization renders
• Error handling behaves correctly

⚠️ Important Notes for Next Developer

Do Not Break These

1. SPARQL endpoint URL - Hardcoded to localhost:7878, needs environment variable for production
2. Monaco editor globals - Defined in vite.config.ts, required for bundling
3. LocalStorage keys - Used for saved queries, changing breaks user data
4. Export MIME types - CSV/JSON/JSON-LD types must remain compliant with standards

Known Limitations

1. No query timeout - Long queries can hang (add in next phase)
2. No multi-graph support - Single default graph only (Priority 1 task)
3. No query optimization - No EXPLAIN or query planning (future enhancement)
4. No authentication - SPARQL endpoint is unauthenticated (production issue)

Technical Debt

1. Monaco bundle size - 2.8 MB, consider lazy loading or lighter editor
2. Mermaid rendering - CPU-intensive for large ontologies, consider caching
3. Test coverage gaps - One pre-existing test failure in use-rdf-parser.test.ts

---

🚀 Quick Win Opportunities

Easy Enhancements (1-2 hours each)

1. Loading spinner - Add spinner during query execution
2. Result count badge - Display "X results" in results table header
3. Query execution time - Show query duration (e.g., "245ms")
4. Keyboard shortcut - Ctrl+Enter to execute query
5. Copy query to clipboard - Button to copy SPARQL to clipboard

Medium Enhancements (1 day each)

1. Query history - Show last 10 executed queries
2. Error highlighting - Highlight SPARQL syntax errors in editor
3. Query templates search - Filter templates by keyword
4. Export filename customization - Let users name exported files
5. Ontology diagram SVG export - Download diagrams as SVG

---

📊 Metrics to Track

• Query execution time (target: < 2s for typical queries)
• Bundle size (current: ~5 MB with Mermaid + Monaco)
• Test execution time (current: ~12s for 210 tests)
• Build time (current: ~8s)

Quality Metrics

• Test coverage (current: 95%, target: > 90%)
• TypeScript errors (current: 0, target: 0)
• ESLint warnings (current: 0, target: 0)
• User-reported bugs (track post-release)

Usage Metrics (Track in Production)

• Queries executed per day
• Most popular query templates
• Average result set size
• Export format preferences (CSV vs JSON vs JSON-LD)

🆘 Troubleshooting Guide

Issue: Tests Fail After Git Pull

# Solution: Reinstall dependencies
npm install
npm test

Issue: Query Builder Page Blank

# Solution: Check browser console
# 1. Open DevTools (F12)
# 2. Look for Monaco/Mermaid loading errors
# 3. Verify Vite dev server is running: npm run dev

Issue: "Failed to Fetch" Error

# Solution: Ensure Oxigraph is running
./scripts/load-and-start.sh

# Verify with curl
curl http://localhost:7878/query -d "query=SELECT * WHERE { ?s ?p ?o } LIMIT 1"

Issue: TypeScript Errors After Code Change

# Solution: Check strict mode compliance
npm run build

# Review type errors and fix
# Common issues:
# - Missing type annotations
# - Incorrect prop types
# - Undefined values not handled
