4.5 Testing and Debugging

1. Unit Testing:
Unit testing focused on ensuring individual components of both the frontend and backend
function correctly. This testing was essential to validate the behavior of isolated units before
integrating them into the larger system.
 Frontend Testing (JavaScript/React):
o Product Filtering and Sorting: Unit tests were written to check if the
JavaScript functions that handle product filtering (e.g., by size, color, price
range) and sorting (e.g., by popularity, price) return accurate and expected
results.
o Testing was performed using Jest and React Testing Library to ensure that
each component behaves as expected when given different inputs, including
edge cases like no products being returned or an empty filter.
 Backend Testing (Python/Flask):

23
 o Recommendation System: Python unit tests were created for the Flask APIs
that power the recommendation engine. These tests validated the data
processing logic (e.g., collaborative filtering, content-based filtering) and
confirmed that the system accurately recommended products based on user
preferences and behavior.
o Tests ensured that the Flask routes returned the correct status codes (200 for
success, 400 for bad requests, etc.) and verified the JSON response format,
checking that the correct products were being returned in the expected
structure.
Example Python unit test (using unittest framework):

Copy code
2. Integration Testing:
Integration testing was performed to ensure that different modules and components in both
the frontend and backend communicate correctly and the system functions as a whole.
 Frontend-Backend Integration:
o The React frontend was tested to ensure it correctly communicates with the
Flask backend API. Integration tests validated that the frontend fetched the
correct data, including product listings, user profiles, and recommendations,
via API calls.
o Example test: Verifying that the recommendation data is properly rendered
when fetched from the API.

3. Manual Testing:
Manual testing played an important role in verifying user flows and interactions within the
website. Manual testers simulated the user's journey through the site to identify any
unexpected behaviors or issues that automated tests might miss, especially in terms of
UI/UX.
 User Authentication: The login, registration, and password reset workflows were
manually tested to ensure that users can access their profiles securely.
 Profile Management: Testers checked if users can update their personal information,
change their preferences, and update their profile pictures without any issues.
 Product Browsing: Testers explored the product catalog, tested various filters (size,
color, category), and ensured that the sorting features (price, popularity) worked
properly.
 Order Processing: The checkout process, including cart management, applying
discounts, and payment processing, was tested to ensure seamless functionality.

24
During manual testing, testers identified areas where visual consistency or user guidance
could be improved, such as the clarity of error messages when incorrect login credentials are
entered.

4. Debugging:
Debugging was essential for identifying and resolving issues during both development and
testing. Several tools and techniques were employed to trace and fix bugs:
 Frontend Debugging (Chrome Developer Tools):
o JavaScript Issues: Chrome DevTools was used extensively to troubleshoot
issues with rendering, event handling, and network requests. The Console tab
helped identify JavaScript errors or unexpected behavior in the code, while the
Network tab monitored API requests to ensure they returned the expected
data.
o Styling Issues: DevTools’ Elements panel helped debug CSS-related issues,
such as incorrect positioning, color inconsistencies, or broken layout due to
CSS conflicts.
o Example: If a product image was not loading, the developer could check the
Network tab to ensure the image file was being requested correctly from the
server.
 Backend Debugging (Python Debugger - pdb):
o Recommendation Engine Issues: When problems with the recommendation
system arose (e.g., incorrect product suggestions), the Python debugger (pdb)
was used to step through the Flask backend code. This allowed developers to
inspect variables, check data flow, and pinpoint where the logic was failing.
o API Endpoint Debugging: When an endpoint returned a 500 server error, the
developer would use pdb to inspect the server-side code to understand whether
there was an issue with data processing or database queries.

5. Cross-Browser Testing:
Cross-browser compatibility testing ensured that the website’s design and functionality
remained consistent across different browsers and devices.
 Browser Support: The website was tested on major browsers, including Google
Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and Microsoft Edge, to verify that it displayed
