## 🎯 Key Test Scenarios

### ✅ **Balance Operations**
```php
test('deduct leaves reduces balance correctly')
test('restore leaves increases balance correctly')
test('restore leaves cannot go below zero')
```

### ✅ **Paid/Unpaid Split**
```php
test('leave within balance is fully paid')          // 3 days requested, 15 available → 3 paid, 0 unpaid
test('leave exceeding balance is split')            // 5 days requested, 2 available → 2 paid, 3 unpaid
test('leave with zero balance is fully unpaid')     // 2 days requested, 0 available → 0 paid, 2 unpaid
```

### ✅ **Approval Workflow**
```php
test('admin can approve leave and balance is deducted')
test('admin can mark leave as unpaid explicitly')
test('user cannot approve their own leave request')
```

### ✅ **Balance Restoration**
```php
test('rejecting approved leave restores balance')
test('deleting approved paid leave restores balance')
test('bulk delete restores balance for all approved paid leaves')
```

### ✅ **Company Year**
```php
test('helper function calculates company year correctly for jan to dec')
test('helper function calculates company year correctly for apr to mar')
```

### ✅ **Initialization**
```php
test('admin can initialize leave balances via API')
test('initialize balances is idempotent')
test('artisan command initializes balances for all users')
```

## 🏭 Using Factories

### **Create Test Data:**

```php
// User with balance
$user = User::factory()->create();
$balance = UserLeaveBalance::factory()
    ->withUsedLeaves(5)
    ->create(['user_id' => $user->id]);

// Approved paid leave
$leave = LeaveRequest::factory()
    ->paid(3)
    ->create(['user_id' => $user->id]);

// Partial leave
$leave = LeaveRequest::factory()
    ->partial()
    ->approved()
    ->create();

// Unpaid leave
$leave = LeaveRequest::factory()
    ->unpaid(2)
    ->create();
```

## ✅ Before Pushing to Production

Run this checklist:

```bash
# 1. Run all tests
php artisan test

# 2. Check coverage
php artisan test --coverage --min=80

# 3. Run leave-specific tests
php artisan test --filter=Leave

# 4. Test on fresh database
php artisan migrate:fresh --env=testing
php artisan test
```

**All tests should pass!** ✅

## 🐛 Common Issues & Solutions

### **Issue: "Factory not found"**
```bash
composer dump-autoload
php artisan test
```

### **Issue: "Database does not exist"**
Check `phpunit.xml`:
```xml
<env name="DB_CONNECTION" value="sqlite"/>
<env name="DB_DATABASE" value=":memory:"/>
```

### **Issue: "Setting not found"**
Add in test:
```php
Setting::updateOrCreate(
    ['variable' => 'general_settings'],
    ['value' => json_encode(['total_paid_leaves_per_year' => 15])]
);
```

### **Issue: "Role does not exist"**
Add in test:
```php
Role::firstOrCreate(['name' => 'admin', 'guard_name' => 'web']);
```
