# Task 03: Integration Test and UAT ## Context **Milestone:** 1 -- Signal Engine **Phase:** m1p5 -- Entity CRUD and Signal Write API **Depends On:** Task 01 (TidalDB Core), Task 02 (Signal Write and Read API) **Blocks:** Milestone 2 (ranked retrieval) **Complexity:** S ## Objective Deliver the Milestone 1 User Acceptance Test as a Rust integration test. This test exercises the complete M1 scenario from the roadmap: open a database, define a schema with three signal types, write items with metadata, write thousands of signal events spanning 7 days, verify decay scores match analytical computation to 6 decimal places, verify windowed counts are exact, verify velocity is correct, verify signals persist across close/reopen. This task also includes a multi-threaded safety test that demonstrates `TidalDB` works correctly when shared across threads via `Arc`. The UAT is the gate. If it passes, Milestone 1 is done. ## Requirements - Full M1 UAT scenario from ROADMAP.md implemented as `tidal/tests/m1_uat.rs` - Analytical brute-force computation of decay scores for verification - Deterministic test (fixed timestamps, reproducible event sequences) - Multi-threaded test: concurrent signal writes from multiple threads, reads from multiple threads - All tests use `tempfile::TempDir` for isolation - Tests must pass `cargo test --test m1_uat` ## Technical Design ### Module Structure ``` tidal/tests/ m1_uat.rs -- Full M1 UAT integration test + multi-threaded test ``` ### Test Implementation ```rust // === tidal/tests/m1_uat.rs === use std::sync::Arc;

The distribution is not uniform but is reproducible and sufficiently varied for testing. - The analytical decay score computation uses `Timestamp::seconds_since()` which returns `f64`. This matches the decay formula's time representation. - The multi-threaded test uses 4 threads writing 500 signals each. This is enough to exercise concurrent DashMap access and atomic CAS contention without making the test slow. - `TempDir` ensures test isolation. Each test gets its own directory. No cleanup needed -- `TempDir`'s `Drop` impl removes the directory. - Do NOT add performance benchmarks to this file. Benchmarks belong in `tidal/benches/signals.rs` (m1p4 Task 03). This file is strictly for correctness verification. - The test file is `tidal/tests/m1_uat.rs` (an integration test), not a unit test in `src/`. Integration tests link against the compiled crate, testing the public API exactly as a user would.
