Testability Issues & Refactoring Opportunities

Issue 1: Hard Dependencies in Constructors

Problem: Many structs create their own dependencies instead of receiving them.

Example:

// internal/backend/orchestrator/init.go
func NewService(...) *Service {
    // Creates its own clients inside
    ecsClient := ecs.NewClient(...)
    // Hard to test!
}

Solution: Dependency injection pattern

// Better approach
type Service struct {
    ecsClient ECSClient // interface
    // ...
}

func NewService(ecsClient ECSClient, ...) *Service {
    return &Service{ecsClient: ecsClient}
}

Impact: Would enable testing of internal/backend/orchestrator (currently 0%)

Issue 2: Missing Interfaces

Problem: Direct dependencies on concrete AWS SDK types.

Current:

type Processor struct {
    ecsClient *ecs.Client // concrete type
}

Solution: Define interfaces for AWS clients

type ECSClient interface {
    RunTask(ctx context.Context, params *ecs.RunTaskInput) (*ecs.RunTaskOutput, error)
    DescribeTasks(ctx context.Context, params *ecs.DescribeTasksInput) (*ecs.DescribeTasksOutput, error)
    // ...
}

type Processor struct {
    ecsClient ECSClient // interface
}

Impact: Would enable testing without AWS credentials

Issue 3: Complex Initialization Logic

Problem: Initialization code in init.go files is hard to test.

Example: internal/providers/aws/processor/init.go

Solution:

1. Split initialization from business logic
2. Use functional options pattern
3. Create separate functions for testable units

Impact: Would allow testing of initialization validation

Issue 4: Global State

Problem: Some packages use package-level variables.

Example: constants package

Solution:

1. Use dependency injection for configuration
2. Create context objects for test isolation
3. Make variables mockable

Impact: Would improve test isolation

Issue 5: Large Functions

Problem: Some functions do too much (e.g., handleECSTaskEvent ~240 lines in original file).

Solution:

1. Extract helper functions (already done for some: determineStatusAndExitCode)
2. Create separate testable units
3. Use composition over complexity

Impact: Makes tests more focused and maintainable

Specific Refactoring Examples

Example 1: Make Health Checks Testable

Current state:

// internal/providers/aws/health/compute.go
type ComputeHealthChecker struct {
    ecsClient *ecs.Client // concrete type
}

func (c *ComputeHealthChecker) Check(ctx context.Context) error {
    // Direct AWS calls - hard to test
    result, err := c.ecsClient.DescribeTaskDefinition(...)
    // ...
}

Refactored:

// Step 1: Define interface
type ECSClient interface {
    DescribeTaskDefinition(ctx context.Context, params *ecs.DescribeTaskDefinitionInput) (*ecs.DescribeTaskDefinitionOutput, error)
    RegisterTaskDefinition(ctx context.Context, params *ecs.RegisterTaskDefinitionInput) (*ecs.RegisterTaskDefinitionOutput, error)
    // ... other methods used
}

// Step 2: Use interface
type ComputeHealthChecker struct {
    ecsClient ECSClient // interface instead
}

// Step 3: Create mock for testing
type mockECSClient struct {
    describeTaskDefinitionFunc func(ctx context.Context, params *ecs.DescribeTaskDefinitionInput) (*ecs.DescribeTaskDefinitionOutput, error)
}

// Step 4: Write tests
func TestComputeHealthCheck_Success(t *testing.T) {
    mock := &mockECSClient{
        describeTaskDefinitionFunc: func(...) {...},
    }
    checker := &ComputeHealthChecker{ecsClient: mock}
    err := checker.Check(ctx)
    assert.NoError(t, err)
}

Files that need this pattern:

• internal/providers/aws/health/*.go (4 files)
• internal/providers/aws/orchestrator/*.go (partial)
• internal/providers/aws/client/*.go (may need interface extraction)

Example 2: Split Large Functions

Current state:

// Large function that does too much
func (p *Processor) handleECSTaskEvent(ctx context.Context, event *events.CloudWatchEvent, logger *slog.Logger) error {
    // 1. Parse event (20 lines)
    // 2. Get execution (15 lines)
    // 3. Check status (30 lines)
    // 4. Update database (25 lines)
    // 5. Notify websocket (15 lines)
    // Total: ~100+ lines
}

Refactored:

// Smaller, focused functions
func (p *Processor) handleECSTaskEvent(ctx context.Context, event *events.CloudWatchEvent, logger *slog.Logger) error {
    taskEvent, err := p.parseTaskEvent(event)
    if err != nil {
        return err
    }

    return p.processTaskStateChange(ctx, taskEvent, logger)
}

func (p *Processor) parseTaskEvent(event *events.CloudWatchEvent) (*ECSTaskStateChangeEvent, error) {
    // Focused on parsing only - easy to test
}

func (p *Processor) processTaskStateChange(ctx context.Context, event *ECSTaskStateChangeEvent, logger *slog.Logger) error {
    // Business logic - can be tested separately
}

Benefits:

• Each function has single responsibility
• Easier to write focused tests
• Better error handling
• Improved readability

Example 3: Constants Package Validation

Current state:

// internal/constants/validation.go (untested)
func ValidateEmail(email string) error {
    // Email validation logic
}

func ValidateRole(role string) error {
    // Role validation logic
}

Proposed tests:

// internal/constants/validation_test.go
func TestValidateEmail(t *testing.T) {
    tests := []struct {
        name    string
        email   string
        wantErr bool
    }{
        {"valid email", "user@example.com", false},
        {"invalid format", "not-an-email", true},
        {"empty email", "", true},
        {"missing domain", "user@", true},
    }
    // ... test implementation
}

Impact: Easy wins with high value for input validation

Testing Patterns Established

The tests added in this session establish several reusable patterns:

1. Mock Pattern for Services

type mockServiceForX struct {
    methodFunc func(ctx context.Context, params Type) (Result, error)
}

func (m *mockServiceForX) Method(ctx context.Context, params Type) (Result, error) {
    if m.methodFunc != nil {
        return m.methodFunc(ctx, params)
    }
    return defaultValue, nil
}

2. Table-Driven Tests

tests := []struct {
    name           string
    input          Input
    expectedOutput Output
    expectedError  bool
}{
    // test cases
}

for _, tt := range tests {
    t.Run(tt.name, func(t *testing.T) {
        // test logic
    })
}

3. Test Builders

Using testutil package builders:

user := testutil.NewUserBuilder().
    WithEmail("test@example.com").
    WithRole("admin").
    Build()

4. Context Setup

ctx := context.WithValue(req.Context(), userContextKey, &user)
req = req.WithContext(ctx)

5. Performance Benchmarks

func BenchmarkFunction(b *testing.B) {
    // setup
    b.ResetTimer()
    for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
        // function call
    }
}
