Backend Integration Testing

Prerequisites

Start the backend before testing API calls:

cd ../BACKEND
dotnet run

Backend should be running at: http://localhost:5246

Test API Connection

1. Health Check (When Backend Running)

// This endpoint exists in the API client
final result = await client.checkHealth();
// Should return true if backend is running

2. Create Agent (Manual Test)

Once Create Agent dialog is built:

1. Click "Create Agent"
2. Fill in form:
   • Name: "Test Agent"
   • Description: "Testing agent creation"
   • Type: Code Generator
   • Provider: Ollama
   • Model: phi
   • Endpoint: http://localhost:11434
3. Submit
4. Should show success message
5. Agent should appear in grid

3. Error Handling

Test with backend OFF:

• Navigate to Agents page
• Should show loading state briefly
• Should show empty state (since no list endpoint yet)
• Create agent should show network error

---

Browser Console Testing

Check for Errors

1. Open Chrome DevTools (F12)
2. Go to Console tab
3. Look for:
   • No red errors
   • No yellow warnings (except known)
   • "animate: true" messages are expected

Network Tab

1. Go to Network tab
2. Reload page
3. Check:
   • All assets load (JS, fonts, icons)
   • No 404 errors
   • Response times reasonable

---

Performance Testing

Hot Reload

1. Change some UI text in code
2. Press r in terminal (hot reload)
3. Check:
   • Changes appear instantly
   • No app restart needed
   • State preserved

Build Time

• Initial build: ~10-15 seconds
• Hot reload: <1 second
• No excessive rebuilds

Animations

• Page transitions smooth (60 FPS)
• No jank or stuttering
• Fade-in animations pleasant
• Button clicks responsive

---

Known Issues & Expected Behavior

✅ Expected (Not Bugs)

1. "animate: true" in console

   • These are debug messages from animate_do package
   • Harmless and expected in development

2. Unused import warning

   • getwidget import in agents_page.dart
   • Will be used in Phase 2 (dialogs)

3. Empty agents list

   • Backend doesn't have list endpoint yet (Phase 3)
   • Showing empty state is correct behavior

4. "Coming soon" messages

   • Create agent, edit, delete dialogs
   • Will be implemented in Phase 2

⚠️ Known Limitations

1. No Agents Display

   • Awaiting backend list agents endpoint
   • Grid layout ready but no data to show

2. Create Agent Placeholder

   • Button exists but opens snackbar
   • Full dialog coming in Phase 2

3. No Real Data

   • All API calls ready
   • Need backend running to test
