TDD Coverage Roadmap

This document outlines the strategic plan to achieve 95%+ test coverage for the secure_project package following strict Test-Driven Development (TDD) principles.

Current Status (Updated from Roadmap Analysis)​

Overall Test Coverage: 2.87% Implementation Status: Critical - Core services are stubs returning mock data

Despite having comprehensive tests written following the RED phase of TDD, most implementation functions are incomplete or missing. The tests define expected behavior well, but the implementation doesn't yet fulfill those expectations.

URGENT FINDINGS FROM ROADMAP REVIEW:

  • AuditLogger: Returns { logged: true } - complete stub
  • PolicyEngine: Returns { allowed: true } - complete stub
  • ComplianceFrameworkEngine: Returns { compliant: true } - complete stub
  • All core security services need complete implementation

Implementation Priorities​

Phase 1: Core Components (Weeks 1-2)​

  1. AuditLogger (0% → 95%) - CRITICAL: Currently returns { logged: true }

    • Replace stub with real database persistence
    • Add cryptographic integrity verification
    • Implement secure storage mechanisms with encryption
    • Add encryption for sensitive data
    • Implement query mechanisms for audit trail
    • Create report generation functionality
    • Timeline: 1-2 weeks intensive implementation

  2. DataSeparation (0% → 95%)

    • Implement tenant isolation logic
    • Create validation mechanisms for cross-tenant access
    • Build compliance reporting features
    • Develop violation detection algorithms

Phase 2: Policy and Security (Weeks 3-4)​

  1. PolicyEngine (1.74% → 95%) - CRITICAL: Currently returns { allowed: true }

    • Replace stub with actual RBAC/ABAC rule evaluation
    • Implement policy evaluation logic with real decision engine
    • Create condition evaluation system
    • Build approval workflow management
    • Develop role-based access mechanisms
    • Timeline: 2-3 weeks for complete implementation

  2. SecurityAlert (0% → 95%)

    • Implement alert generation system
    • Create severity assessment logic
    • Build notification mechanisms
    • Develop automated response capabilities

Phase 3: Compliance Framework (Weeks 5-6)​

  1. ComplianceFramework (0% → 95%)
    • Implement framework registration system
    • Create validation mechanisms for controls
    • Build framework translation capabilities
    • Develop remediation automation features

Phase 4: Platform Adapters (Weeks 7-8)​

  1. Drupal Adapter (0% → 95%)

    • Implement Drupal bridge functionality
    • Create HTTP API integration
    • Build Express middleware
    • Develop PHP interoperability features

  2. Express and Koa Adapters (0% → 95%)

    • Implement Express middleware
    • Create Koa middleware
    • Build authentication integration
    • Develop route protection features

Implementation Approach​

For each component, follow these steps:

  1. Review Existing Tests - Understand the expected behavior defined in tests
  2. Create Implementation Plan - Break down implementation into manageable tasks
  3. Implement Functions - Write code to pass the tests without modifying tests
  4. Run Tests - Verify all tests pass with the new implementation
  5. Measure Coverage - Ensure 95%+ coverage is achieved
  6. Document Approach - Add implementation notes to code comments

Test Coverage Targets​

ComponentCurrentTargetPriority
AuditLogger0%95%+High
DataSeparation0%95%+High
PolicyEngine1.74%95%+High
SecurityAlert0%95%+Medium
ComplianceFramework0%95%+Medium
Drupal Adapter0%95%+Medium
Express Adapter0%95%+Low
Koa Adapter0%95%+Low

Tracking Progress​

Progress will be tracked using:

  1. Jest Coverage Reports - Run npm run test:coverage regularly
  2. Weekly Reviews - Assess progress against roadmap
  3. Component Status Updates - Track each component's implementation status

Commitment to TDD Principles​

This roadmap emphasizes our commitment to TDD principles:

  • Tests define the expected behavior
  • Implementation must make tests pass without modifying tests
  • Coverage targets ensure comprehensive test coverage
  • Each component follows the Red-Green-Refactor cycle

By following this roadmap, we will transform the secure_project package into a robust, well-tested security framework ready for production use.
