This document outlines the recommended approach for testing the Circle Backend and instructions for future implementation.

• Tools: Jest or Vitest.
• Scope: Test individual Service methods and utility functions in isolation. Mock Prisma and Redis dependencies.

• Tools: Supertest with Jest.
• Scope: Test API endpoints (/api/v1/...). Send real HTTP requests to a test instance of the app connected to a test database.

Once tests are implemented, usage will be:

npm test

Until automated tests are added, please use Swagger UI or Postman for manual verification.

1. Start the server: npm run dev
2. Open http://localhost:3000/api-docs
3. Authenticate via the /auth/login endpoint.
4. Copy the token.
5. Use the "Authorize" button in Swagger to set the Bearer token.
6. Execute requests against other endpoints.
