## Test Statistics
- **Total Tests**: 43
- **Total Lines**: 504
- **Test Classes**: 10
- **All Tests Passing**: ✅

## Testing Approach

Due to the repository's custom minimal YAML parser (in `yaml/__init__.py`) not supporting Azure Pipelines YAML syntax, tests were implemented using:
- **Regex-based validation** for structure and content
- **Text parsing** for configuration verification
- **Path-based validation** for file system checks
- **Integration tests** for project structure matching

This approach ensures comprehensive validation without dependency on YAML parsing libraries while maintaining high test quality and coverage.

## Key Features Tested

### Configuration Validation
- ✅ Trigger on main branch
- ✅ Ubuntu-latest VM image
- ✅ Node.js 20.x version
- ✅ NodeTool task configuration
- ✅ npm install and build scripts

### Best Practices
- ✅ Security (no hardcoded secrets)
- ✅ Documentation (comments and references)
- ✅ Code quality (consistent formatting)
- ✅ LTS compatibility (Node.js even versions)
- ✅ Error handling (no error suppression)

### Edge Cases
- ✅ File formatting (tabs, newlines, indentation)
- ✅ YAML syntax basics
- ✅ Empty file prevention
- ✅ Logical command ordering
- ✅ Project structure alignment

## Benefits

1. **Comprehensive Coverage**: 43 tests covering all aspects of the Azure Pipelines configuration
2. **Best Practices Enforcement**: Tests validate Azure DevOps and CI/CD best practices
3. **Security Validation**: Prevents common security issues like hardcoded secrets
4. **Maintainability**: Well-organized test classes with clear naming
5. **Documentation**: Extensive docstrings explaining each test's purpose
6. **Future-Proof**: Tests will catch configuration regressions

## Running the Tests

```bash
# Run all Azure Pipelines tests
pytest tests/unit/test_azure_pipelines.py -v

# Run specific test class
pytest tests/unit/test_azure_pipelines.py::TestAzurePipelinesNodeToolTask -v

# Run with coverage
pytest tests/unit/test_azure_pipelines.py --cov=azure-pipelines.yml
```

## Test Results
All 43 tests pass successfully, validating the Azure Pipelines configuration is:
- ✅ Properly structured
- ✅ Following best practices
- ✅ Secure and well-documented
- ✅ Compatible with the project structure
- ✅ Ready for production use
