System Status

📋 Manual Test Scenarios

Scenario 1: CLI Personality Experience

Objective: Validate personality enhancement in CLI commands

Setup: Ensure config/PIPER.user.md has default personality settings:

personality:
  profile:
    warmth_level: 0.7
    confidence_style: contextual
    action_orientation: high
    technical_depth: balanced

CLI Commands to Test:

# Test personality configuration
PYTHONPATH=. python cli/commands/personality.py show

# Test personality presets
PYTHONPATH=. python cli/commands/personality.py preset friendly
PYTHONPATH=. python cli/commands/personality.py preset professional

# Test personality configuration updates
PYTHONPATH=. python cli/commands/personality.py set --warmth 0.9 --confidence descriptive

# Test personality enhancement on sample text
PYTHONPATH=. python cli/commands/personality.py test "Task completed successfully"

# Test standup command with personality enhancement
PYTHONPATH=. python cli/commands/standup.py generate

Expected Results:

Scenario 2: Web UI Personality Testing

Objective: Validate personality enhancement in web interface

Setup:

  1. Start the web server: 
    PYTHONPATH=. python web/app.py
  2. Access web interface at: http://localhost:8001

Web UI Endpoints to Test:

# Test personality profile API
curl -X GET "http://localhost:8001/api/personality/profile/default" | json_pp

# Test personality configuration update
curl -X PUT "http://localhost:8001/api/personality/profile/default" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"warmth_level": 0.8, "confidence_style": "contextual", "action_orientation": "high", "technical_depth": "balanced"}'

# Test personality enhancement API
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8001/api/personality/enhance" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"content": "Analysis completed successfully", "user_id": "default", "confidence": 0.8}'

# Test standup API with personality enhancement
curl -X GET "http://localhost:8001/api/standup?personality=true&format=human-readable" | json_pp

Web UI Manual Tests:

  1. Main Chat Interface (http://localhost:8001):
    • Send various messages and observe personality in responses
    • Check that personality enhancement applies to bot responses
    • Test message examples: “Users are complaining about login issues”
  2. Standup Interface (http://localhost:8001/standup):
    • Click “Generate Standup” button
    • Verify personality-enhanced accomplishments and priorities appear
    • Check performance metrics and enhanced formatting
  3. Personality Preferences UI (http://localhost:8001/personality-preferences):
    • Test configuration changes through web interface
    • Verify settings are saved to config/PIPER.user.md
    • Test different personality presets

Expected Results:

Scenario 3: Cross-Platform Configuration Sync

Objective: Validate that configuration changes sync between CLI and Web interfaces

Test Steps:

  1. CLI → Web Sync Test: 
    # Change personality via CLI
PYTHONPATH=. python cli/commands/personality.py set --warmth 0.9 --confidence hidden

# Verify change reflects in Web API
curl -X GET "http://localhost:8001/api/personality/profile/default"
  2. Web → CLI Sync Test: 
    # Change via Web API
curl -X PUT "http://localhost:8001/api/personality/profile/default" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"warmth_level": 0.3, "confidence_style": "numeric"}'

# Verify change in CLI
PYTHONPATH=. python cli/commands/personality.py show
  3. Configuration File Validation: 
    # Check that config/PIPER.user.md reflects latest changes
cat config/PIPER.user.md | grep -A 10 "personality:"

Expected Results:

Scenario 4: Performance and Error Handling

Objective: Validate system performance and graceful error handling

CLI Performance Tests:

# Time personality commands
time PYTHONPATH=. python cli/commands/personality.py test "Sample text"
time PYTHONPATH=. python cli/commands/standup.py generate

# Test with invalid configuration
echo 'personality: {warmth_level: 5.0}' > config/PIPER.user.md
PYTHONPATH=. python cli/commands/personality.py show

Web API Performance Tests:

# Time API requests
time curl -X POST "http://localhost:8001/api/personality/enhance" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"content": "Test message", "confidence": 0.8}'

# Test with invalid data
curl -X PUT "http://localhost:8001/api/personality/profile/default" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"warmth_level": "invalid"}'

Expected Results:

Scenario 5: Production Readiness

Objective: Validate system behavior under production-like conditions

Multi-User Configuration Test:

# Test different user profiles
PYTHONPATH=. python cli/commands/personality.py show --user test_user1
curl -X GET "http://localhost:8001/api/personality/profile/test_user2"

Concurrent Request Test:

# Simulate multiple simultaneous requests
for i in {1..5}; do
  curl -X POST "http://localhost:8001/api/personality/enhance" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"content": "Test '$i'", "confidence": 0.8}' &
done
wait

Configuration Backup and Recovery:

# Backup current config
cp config/PIPER.user.md config/PIPER.user.md.backup

# Test recovery from corrupted config
echo "corrupted content" > config/PIPER.user.md
PYTHONPATH=. python cli/commands/personality.py show

# Restore and verify
cp config/PIPER.user.md.backup config/PIPER.user.md
