MEV Bot Parser Test Suite

This directory contains comprehensive test suites for validating the MEV bot's Arbitrum transaction parser. The test suite ensures that ALL values are parsed correctly from real-world transactions, which is critical for production MEV operations.

🛠️ Adding New Tests

1. Real Transaction Tests

Add new transaction data to fixtures/real_arbitrum_transactions.json:

{
  "your_category": [
    {
      "name": "descriptive_test_name",
      "description": "What this test validates", 
      "tx_hash": "0x...",
      "protocol": "ProtocolName",
      "expected_values": {
        "amount_in": "exact_wei_amount",
        "token_addresses": ["0x...", "0x..."],
        "pool_fee": 500
      }
    }
  ]
}

2. Performance Tests

Add benchmarks to performance_benchmarks_test.go:

func BenchmarkYourNewFeature(b *testing.B) {
    suite := NewPerformanceTestSuite(&testing.T{})
    defer suite.l2Parser.Close()
    
    b.ResetTimer()
    for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
        // Your benchmark code
    }
}

3. Golden File Tests

Add test cases to golden_file_test.go:

func (suite *GoldenFileTestSuite) createYourNewTest() GoldenFileTest {
    return GoldenFileTest{
        Name: "your_test_name",
        Description: "What this validates",
        Input: GoldenFileInput{
            // Input data
        },
        // Expected output will be auto-generated
    }
}

🐛 Debugging Test Failures

Common Issues

1. Parsing Failures: Check ABI encoding in test data
2. Performance Issues: Profile with go tool pprof
3. Memory Leaks: Run with -race flag
4. Golden File Mismatches: Regenerate with REGENERATE_GOLDEN=true

Debug Commands

# Run with verbose output and race detection
go test ./test/ -v -race -run TestSpecificTest

# Profile memory usage
go test ./test/ -memprofile=mem.prof -run TestMemoryUsage
go tool pprof mem.prof

# Generate CPU profile
go test ./test/ -cpuprofile=cpu.prof -run TestPerformance
go tool pprof cpu.prof

⚠️ Important Notes

Production Considerations

• Never commit real private keys or API keys to test fixtures
• Use mock data for sensitive operations in automated tests
• Validate all external dependencies before production deployment
• Monitor parser performance in production with similar test patterns

Security Warnings

• Fuzzing tests may generate large amounts of random data
• Live integration tests make real network calls
• Performance tests may consume significant system resources
