Key Achievements
- Test Standardization: Defined boundaries between unit and integration tests.
- Helper Utilities: Built a suite of reusable test helpers for database seeding, mocking external gRPC dependencies, and asserting complex JSON responses.
- Mocking Strategy: Reduced reliance on excessive interface mocking by introducing isolated test databases via Docker Testcontainers.
- CI/CD Integration: Integrated the new testing standards into GitHub Actions, ensuring minimum coverage thresholds.
