type MockRateLimiter interface {
    Allow()
    Wait()

10. RISK ASSESSMENT

10.1 CRITICAL RISK: Untested Financial Logic

Files: pkg/arbitrage/*, pkg/scanner/*, pkg/pools/*
Impact: Potential financial losses due to untested trading logic
Mitigation: Achieve 95%+ test coverage before production

10.2 HIGH RISK: Untested Security Functions

Files: pkg/security/*, internal/auth/*
Impact: Security vulnerabilities and potential key compromise
Mitigation: Comprehensive security testing and penetration testing

10.3 MEDIUM RISK: Untested Infrastructure

Files: internal/ratelimit/*, pkg/monitor/*
Impact: System reliability issues under load
Mitigation: Load testing and stress testing

11. RECOMMENDATIONS

11.1 IMMEDIATE ACTIONS (This Week)

1. STOP: Do not deploy to production with current test coverage
2. START: Implement tests for all financial logic functions
3. PRIORITIZE: Test coverage for security-critical functions
4. IMPLEMENT: CI pipeline with coverage requirements

11.2 SHORT-TERM GOALS (Next Month)

• Achieve 85%+ overall test coverage
• Implement comprehensive integration tests
• Add performance benchmarking
• Set up automated security testing

11.3 LONG-TERM GOALS (Next Quarter)

• Maintain 90%+ test coverage
• Implement chaos engineering tests
• Add property-based testing
• Continuous security monitoring

12. CONCLUSION

TEST COVERAGE VERDICT: ❌ INSUFFICIENT FOR PRODUCTION

The MEV bot's current test coverage of ~42% is far below the industry standard of 85% required for financial applications. Critical trading and security functions have zero test coverage, creating unacceptable risk for production deployment.

Key Issues:

1. 58% of files have no tests at all
2. Core trading logic is completely untested
3. Security functions have zero coverage
4. No integration or performance tests

Recommendation: Delay production deployment until comprehensive testing is implemented and 85%+ coverage is achieved.

Timeline: Minimum 4 weeks to achieve production-ready test coverage.
