python -m pytest tests/

# Run specific test categories
python -m pytest tests/unit/
python -m pytest tests/integration/
python -m pytest tests/performance/

# Run with coverage
python -m pytest --cov=setup --cov-report=html tests/

# Run with verbose output
python -m pytest -v tests/

# Run specific test file
python -m pytest tests/unit/test_components.py -v
```

**Test Coverage Requirements:**
- **Unit Tests**: >90% coverage for core components
- **Integration Tests**: All major workflows covered
- **Performance Tests**: Memory and speed benchmarks
- **Installation Tests**: All component installation scenarios

**Testing Standards:**
```python
# Example test structure
import pytest
from setup.components.base import BaseComponent
from setup.core.registry import ComponentRegistry

class TestComponentSystem:
    def setup_method(self):
        """Set up test environment before each test"""
        self.test_dir = Path('test-install')
        self.registry = ComponentRegistry()
        
    def teardown_method(self):
        """Clean up after each test"""
        if self.test_dir.exists():
            shutil.rmtree(self.test_dir)
            
    def test_component_installation(self):
        """Test component installation process"""
        # Test setup
        component = CoreComponent()
        
        # Execute test
        result = component.install(self.test_dir)
        
        # Assertions
        assert result.success
        assert (self.test_dir / 'CLAUDE.md').exists()
        assert 'core' in self.registry.list_installed()
```

## Debugging SuperClaude Components

### Agent System Debugging

**Agent Activation Debugging:**
```python
# Debug agent selection and activation
class AgentDebugger:
    def debug_agent_selection(self, task_context):
        print("🔍 Agent Selection Debug:")
        
        # Show detected triggers
        triggers = self._extract_triggers(task_context)
        print(f"  Detected triggers: {triggers}")
        
        # Show selected agents
        selected_agents = self._select_agents(triggers)
        print(f"  Selected agents: {selected_agents}")
        
        # Show coordination pattern
        pattern = self._determine_coordination(selected_agents)
        print(f"  Coordination pattern: {pattern}")
        
        return selected_agents, pattern

# Usage in development
debugger = AgentDebugger()
agents, pattern = debugger.debug_agent_selection(task_context)
```

**Agent Coordination Debugging:**
```bash
# Enable agent debug mode
export SUPERCLAUDE_DEBUG_AGENTS=true

# Run with agent tracing
python -m SuperClaude install --debug-agents --dry-run

# Check agent activation logs
tail -f ~/.claude/logs/agent-activation.log
```

**Common Agent Issues:**
- **Agent Not Activating**: Check trigger patterns and keyword matching
- **Wrong Agent Selected**: Verify trigger priority and specificity
- **Coordination Conflicts**: Debug agent hierarchy and decision authority

### Mode System Debugging

**Mode Activation Debugging:**
```python
class ModeDebugger:
    def debug_mode_selection(self, task_analysis):
        print("🧠 Mode Selection Debug:")
        
        # Complexity analysis
        complexity = task_analysis.complexity_score
        print(f"  Complexity score: {complexity}")
        
        # Trigger analysis
        mode_triggers = self._analyze_mode_triggers(task_analysis)
        for mode, triggers in mode_triggers.items():
            print(f"  {mode}: {triggers}")
            
        # Final mode selection
        selected_modes = self._select_modes(task_analysis)
        print(f"  Selected modes: {selected_modes}")
        
        return selected_modes
```

**Mode State Inspection:**
```bash
# Enable mode debugging
export SUPERCLAUDE_DEBUG_MODES=true

# Inspect mode transitions
python -c "
from setup.core.mode_manager import ModeManager
manager = ModeManager()
print(manager.get_active_modes())
print(manager.get_mode_history())
"
```

### MCP Server Debugging

**MCP Connection Debugging:**
```python
class MCPDebugger:
    def debug_server_connection(self, server_name):
        print(f"🔌 MCP Server Debug: {server_name}")
        
        # Check server configuration
        config = self._get_server_config(server_name)
        print(f"  Configuration: {config}")
        
        # Test connection
        try:
            connection = self._test_connection(server_name)
            print(f"  Connection: ✅ Success")
            
            # Test basic functionality
            response = connection.ping()
            print(f"  Ping response: {response}")
            
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"  Connection: ❌ Failed - {e}")
            
        # Check server health
        health = self._check_server_health(server_name)
        print(f"  Health status: {health}")

# Usage
debugger = MCPDebugger()
debugger.debug_server_connection('context7')
```

**MCP Communication Tracing:**
```bash
# Enable MCP communication logging
export SUPERCLAUDE_DEBUG_MCP=true

# Trace MCP requests and responses
python -m SuperClaude debug --mcp-trace

# Check MCP server logs
tail -f ~/.claude/logs/mcp-*.log
```

**Common MCP Issues:**
- **Server Won't Start**: Check Node.js installation and server paths
- **Connection Timeouts**: Verify network connectivity and server health
- **Request Failures**: Debug request format and server compatibility

### Session Management Debugging

**Session Context Inspection:**
```python
class SessionDebugger:
    def debug_session_state(self, session_id):
        print(f"💾 Session Debug: {session_id}")
        
        # Load session context
        context = self._load_session_context(session_id)
        print(f"  Context size: {len(context)} items")
        
        # Analyze memory usage
        memory_usage = self._analyze_memory_usage(context)
        print(f"  Memory usage: {memory_usage}")
        
        # Check context health
        health = self._check_context_health(context)
        print(f"  Context health: {health}")
        
        # Show recent activities
        activities = context.get_recent_activities(limit=10)
        for activity in activities:
            print(f"    {activity.timestamp}: {activity.action}")

# Usage
debugger = SessionDebugger()
debugger.debug_session_state('current-session')
```

**Session Lifecycle Tracing:**
```bash
# Enable session debugging
export SUPERCLAUDE_DEBUG_SESSIONS=true

# Trace session operations
python -c "
from setup.services.session_manager import SessionManager
manager = SessionManager()
manager.enable_debug_mode()

# Load session with tracing
session = manager.load_session('project-session')
print(session.debug_info())
"

# Check session storage
ls -la ~/.claude/sessions/
cat ~/.claude/sessions/session-metadata.json
```

**Memory Debugging:**
```python
class MemoryDebugger:
    def debug_memory_usage(self):
        print("🧠 Memory Usage Debug:")
        
        # System memory
        import psutil
        memory = psutil.virtual_memory()
        print(f"  System memory: {memory.percent}% used")
        
        # SuperClaude memory
        sc_memory = self._get_superclaude_memory()
        print(f"  SuperClaude memory: {sc_memory}")
        
        # Session memory breakdown
        sessions = self._get_active_sessions()
        for session_id, session in sessions.items():
            size = session.get_memory_size()
            print(f"    {session_id}: {size}")
            
        # Memory leak detection
        leaks = self._detect_memory_leaks()
        if leaks:
            print(f"  🚨 Potential leaks: {leaks}")
```

## Development Testing Patterns

### Unit Testing Patterns

**Component Testing Pattern:**
```python
class TestComponentBase:
    """Base class for component testing"""
    
    @pytest.fixture
    def temp_install_dir(self):
        """Provide temporary installation directory"""
        temp_dir = Path(tempfile.mkdtemp())
        yield temp_dir
        shutil.rmtree(temp_dir)
        
    @pytest.fixture  
    def mock_registry(self):
        """Provide mock component registry"""
        registry = ComponentRegistry()
        registry.components = {}  # Clean state
        return registry

class TestAgentComponent(TestComponentBase):
    def test_agent_installation(self, temp_install_dir, mock_registry):
        """Test agent component installation"""
        # Setup
        agent_component = AgentComponent()
        
        # Execute
        result = agent_component.install(temp_install_dir)
        
        # Verify
        assert result.success
        assert (temp_install_dir / 'AGENT_SecurityEngineer.md').exists()
        
        # Verify content
        content = (temp_install_dir / 'AGENT_SecurityEngineer.md').read_text()
        assert 'security' in content
        assert 'vulnerability' in content
```

**Integration Testing Pattern:**
```python
class TestComponentIntegration:
    def test_full_installation_workflow(self):
        """Test complete installation workflow"""
        # Setup clean environment
        test_config = self._create_test_config()
        
        # Install core components
        installer = InstallationOrchestrator()
        result = installer.install_components(['core'], test_config)
        
        assert result.success
        assert test_config.install_dir.exists()
        
        # Verify core functionality
        claude_md = test_config.install_dir / 'CLAUDE.md'
        assert claude_md.exists()
        
        content = claude_md.read_text()
        assert '@FLAGS.md' in content
        assert '@RULES.md' in content
        
    def test_mcp_integration(self):
        """Test MCP server integration"""
        # Install MCP component
        mcp_component = MCPComponent()
        result = mcp_component.install(self.test_dir)
        
        # Verify MCP configuration
        mcp_config = self.test_dir / '.claude.json'
        assert mcp_config.exists()
        
        config_data = json.loads(mcp_config.read_text())
        assert 'mcpServers' in config_data
        assert 'context7' in config_data['mcpServers']
```

**Test-Driven Development Pattern:**
```python
# 1. Write test first (Red)
def test_new_agent_activation():
    """Test new data science agent activation"""
    agent_system = AgentSystem()
    
    # Should activate on data science keywords
    task_context = TaskContext(
        input_text="analyze this dataset with pandas",
        file_types=['.csv', '.ipynb']
    )
    
    selected_agents = agent_system.select_agents(task_context)
    assert 'data-scientist' in selected_agents

# 2. Implement minimal code (Green)
class AgentSystem:
    def select_agents(self, task_context):
        if 'dataset' in task_context.input_text:
            return ['data-scientist']
        return []

# 3. Refactor (Refactor)
class AgentSystem:
    def select_agents(self, task_context):
        selected = []
        
        # Data science triggers
        data_triggers = ['dataset', 'pandas', 'numpy', 'analytics']
        if any(trigger in task_context.input_text for trigger in data_triggers):
            selected.append('data-scientist')
            
        return selected
```

## Performance Testing

### Performance Testing Methodologies

**Memory Performance Testing:**
```python
class MemoryPerformanceTest:
    def test_memory_usage_limits(self):
        """Test memory usage stays within limits"""
        import psutil
        import gc
        
        # Baseline memory
        gc.collect()
        baseline = psutil.Process().memory_info().rss
        
        # Load large session
        session_manager = SessionManager()
        large_session = session_manager.create_large_test_session()
        
        # Measure memory increase
        current = psutil.Process().memory_info().rss
        memory_increase = current - baseline
        
        # Assert reasonable memory usage (< 500MB increase)
        assert memory_increase < 500 * 1024 * 1024
        
    def test_session_loading_speed(self):
        """Test session loading performance"""
        import time
        
        session_manager = SessionManager()
        
        # Create test session with known size
        test_session = session_manager.create_test_session(size='large')
        
        # Measure loading time
        start_time = time.time()
        loaded_session = session_manager.load_session(test_session.id)
        load_time = time.time() - start_time
        
        # Assert reasonable load time (< 5 seconds)
        assert load_time < 5.0
        assert loaded_session.is_valid()
```

**Component Performance Benchmarks:**
```python
class ComponentPerformanceBenchmark:
    def benchmark_component_installation(self):
        """Benchmark component installation speed"""
        import timeit
        
        def install_core():
            installer = InstallationOrchestrator()
            temp_dir = Path(tempfile.mkdtemp())
            installer.install_components(['core'], InstallOptions(install_dir=temp_dir))
            shutil.rmtree(temp_dir)
        
        # Run benchmark
        execution_time = timeit.timeit(install_core, number=10)
        avg_time = execution_time / 10
        
        # Assert reasonable installation time (< 2 seconds average)
        assert avg_time < 2.0
        
    def benchmark_agent_selection(self):
        """Benchmark agent selection performance"""
        agent_system = AgentSystem()
        
        # Create complex task context
        complex_context = TaskContext(
            input_text="complex microservices security performance analysis",
            file_count=100,
            complexity_score=0.9
        )
        
        # Measure selection time
        start_time = time.time()
        selected_agents = agent_system.select_agents(complex_context)
        selection_time = time.time() - start_time
        
        # Assert fast selection (< 100ms)
        assert selection_time < 0.1
        assert len(selected_agents) > 0
```

**Load Testing:**
```python
class LoadTest:
    def test_concurrent_installations(self):
        """Test concurrent component installations"""
        import threading
        import concurrent.futures
        
        def install_component(component_name):
            installer = InstallationOrchestrator()
            temp_dir = Path(tempfile.mkdtemp())
            try:
                result = installer.install_components([component_name], 
                                                    InstallOptions(install_dir=temp_dir))
                return result.success
            finally:
                shutil.rmtree(temp_dir)
        
        # Test concurrent installations
        components = ['core', 'agents', 'modes', 'mcp']
        
        with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=4) as executor:
            futures = [executor.submit(install_component, comp) for comp in components]
            results = [future.result() for future in futures]
        
        # All installations should succeed
        assert all(results)
```

## Integration Testing

### Component Integration Testing

**Multi-Component Workflow Testing:**
```python
class TestComponentIntegration:
    def test_full_workflow_integration(self):
        """Test complete workflow with multiple components"""
        # Install all components
        installer = InstallationOrchestrator()
        components = ['core', 'agents', 'modes', 'mcp']
        
        result = installer.install_components(components, self.test_config)
        assert result.success
        
        # Test agent-mode integration
        agent_system = AgentSystem()

        task_context = TaskContext(
            input_text="analyze security vulnerabilities in microservices architecture",
            complexity_score=0.8,
            file_count=50
        )
        
        # Should activate security-engineer + system-architect + introspection mode

        assert 'security-engineer' in selected_agents
        assert 'system-architect' in selected_agents
        assert 'introspection' in selected_modes
        
    def test_mcp_agent_coordination(self):

        assert 'context7' in coordination_plan.mcp_servers
        assert 'magic' in coordination_plan.mcp_servers
```

**End-to-End Workflow Testing:**
```python

## Common Development Issues

### Installation & Configuration Issues

**Component Installation Failures:**
```bash
# Issue: Component dependencies not resolved
ERROR: Component 'mcp' requires 'core' but it's not installed

# Solution: Install in dependency order
SuperClaude install --components core mcp --resolve-dependencies

# Issue: Permission denied during installation
ERROR: Permission denied: '/home/user/.claude/CLAUDE.md'

# Solution: Fix permissions
sudo chown -R $USER ~/.claude
chmod 755 ~/.claude
```

**MCP Server Connection Issues:**
```bash
# Issue: Context7 server fails to start
ERROR: MCP server 'context7' failed to connect

# Debug: Check Node.js and server path
node --version  # Should be 16+
which context7  # Verify installation path

# Solution: Reinstall MCP servers
SuperClaude install --components mcp --force
npm install -g @context7/mcp-server
```

**Configuration Conflicts:**
```python
# Issue: CLAUDE.md import conflicts
ERROR: Circular import detected: CLAUDE.md -> FLAGS.md -> CLAUDE.md

# Debug: Check import structure
def debug_import_structure():
    with open('~/.claude/CLAUDE.md', 'r') as f:
        content = f.read()
        imports = re.findall(r'@(\w+\.md)', content)
        print(f"Imports detected: {imports}")
        
    # Check for circular references
    for import_file in imports:
        import_path = Path('~/.claude') / import_file
        if import_path.exists():
            with open(import_path, 'r') as f:
                nested_imports = re.findall(r'@(\w+\.md)', f.read())

                    print(f"Warning: Circular import: {import_file} -> CLAUDE.md")

# Solution: Remove circular imports
# Edit problematic files to remove @CLAUDE.md references
```

### Component Development Issues

**Agent System Issues:**
```python
# Issue: Agent not activating for expected keywords
class AgentActivationDebugger:
    def debug_activation_failure(self, input_text, expected_agent):
        print(f"Debugging agent activation failure:")
        print(f"  Input: '{input_text}'")

        print(f"  Agent triggers: {triggers}")
        
        # Check keyword matching
        matches = []
        for trigger in triggers:

                matches.append(trigger)
        print(f"  Matched triggers: {matches}")
        
        if not matches:
            print("  No triggers matched - consider adding new keywords")
            # Suggest new triggers
            suggestions = self._suggest_triggers(input_text)
            print(f"  Suggested triggers: {suggestions}")
        
        return matches

# Usage
debugger = AgentActivationDebugger()
debugger.debug_activation_failure("implement secure login", "security-engineer")
```

```python
# Issue: Wrong behavioral mode activated
class ModeSelectionDebugger:
    def debug_mode_selection(self, task_context):
        print("Mode selection debug:")

            'orchestration': 0.8,
            'introspection': 0.5  # Special conditions
        }
        
        for mode, threshold in mode_thresholds.items():
            if complexity >= threshold:
                print(f"  {mode}: {complexity} >= {threshold}")
            else:
                print(f"  {mode}: {complexity} < {threshold}")
        
        # Check special conditions
        special_triggers = self._check_special_triggers(task_context)
        print(f"  Special triggers: {special_triggers}")
        
        return self._select_final_mode(complexity, special_triggers)

# Usage
context = TaskContext(
    input_text="fix authentication bug",
    file_count=5,
    error_present=True
)
debugger = ModeSelectionDebugger()
selected_mode = debugger.debug_mode_selection(context)
```
