LocalData Testing Strategy

Goal

To ensure high reliability for data persistence, security, and migration across all supported platforms (iOS and watchOS).

Test Suites

Unit Tests (Tests/LocalDataTests/)

  • LocalDataTests.swift: Core round-trip tests for each storage domain (UserDefaults, FileSystem).
  • KeychainHelperTests.swift: Verification of Keychain API interactions (add, update, delete, exists).
  • EncryptionHelperTests.swift: Round-trip tests for AES and ChaCha20 encryption/decryption with various key derivation methods.
  • StorageCatalogTests.swift: Validation of catalog registration, duplicate detection, and missing description checks.

Key Testing Patterns

1. Domain Round-Trips

Always test the full cycle: set -> get (compare) -> remove -> get (expect notFound).

2. Migration Tests

Simulate legacy data by writing to a "legacy" key first, then verifying that the "modern" key can retrieve and consolidate that data.

3. Error Handling

Verify that the correct StorageError is thrown for:

  • notFound
  • unregisteredKey
  • dataTooLargeForSync
  • Domain-specific failures (e.g., Keychain errors)

Running Tests

Run all tests from the package root:
