pytest tests/ -v --cov=src

No manual setup required! Tests create their own environment:

# Automatic bootstrap + full test suite
./scripts/test-with-bootstrap.sh

# Automatic bootstrap + quick tests  
./scripts/test-with-bootstrap.sh --quick

# Manual bootstrap only (if needed)
./scripts/test-bootstrap.sh

# Cleanup test environment
./scripts/test-bootstrap.sh --cleanup-only

Bootstrap Process:

1. ✅ Creates test user via registration
2. ✅ Obtains JWT token through login
3. ✅ Creates API key using JWT authentication
4. ✅ Stores API key in Kubernetes secret
5. ✅ Validates complete authentication flow

# Authentication Testing Suite
./scripts/test-auth-comprehensive.sh    # Complete authentication validation
./scripts/test-auth-jwt.sh              # JWT authentication workflow
./scripts/test-auth-registration.sh     # User registration testing
./scripts/test-auth-endpoints.sh        # Dual auth endpoint testing

# Feature Testing
./scripts/test-api-key.sh               # API key management tests
./scripts/test-groups.sh                # Group collaboration tests
./scripts/test-admin.sh                 # Admin interface tests

# Deployment Testing
./scripts/post-deploy-test.sh           # Post-deployment validation
