## Test Quality Metrics

### Coverage Distribution
- **Unit tests (t):** ~45% - Boolean assertions
- **Equality tests (eq):** ~30% - Expected value comparisons
- **Property tests (q):** ~25% - Randomized with QCheck

### Test Execution Count
| Module | Before | After | Increase |
|--------|--------|-------|----------|
| CCPair | 0 | 141 | +141 |
| CCRef | 0 | 269 | +269 |
| CCByte_slice | 0 | 197 | +197 |
| CCOption | ~30 | ~230 | +200 |
| CCResult | 38 | ~330 | +292 |
| CCList | 1164 | ~1264 | +100 |
| CBOR | ~1082 | ~6200 | +5118 |
| **Total** | ~2314 | ~8631 | **+6317** |

## Testing Patterns

### Pattern 1: Basic Functionality
```ocaml
t @@ fun () -> swap (1, 2) = (2, 1);;
```

### Pattern 2: Edge Cases
```ocaml
t @@ fun () ->
  let sl = create (Bytes.of_string "hi") in
  try ignore (get sl (-1)); false
  with Invalid_argument _ -> true
;;
```

### Pattern 3: Properties
```ocaml
q Q.int (fun x ->
  flat_map return (Some x) = Some x
);;
```

### Pattern 4: State Management
```ocaml
t @@ fun () ->
  let r = ref 0 in
  try ignore (protect r 5 (fun () -> failwith "error")); false
  with Failure _ -> !r = 0
;;
```

## Build Status

✅ **All tests compile successfully**
- OCaml 5.3.0
- All dependencies installed
- No breaking changes to source code

## Known Issues

### Coverage Instrumentation
❌ **Cannot use bisect_ppx directly**
- Project uses custom preprocessor (cpp.exe) for version checking
- Dune doesn't support both `(preprocess (action ...))` and `(instrumentation ...)`
- Would require modifying cpp.exe or using dune-workspace contexts

### Recommendations for Coverage
1. Modify cpp.exe to pass through bisect annotations
2. Chain preprocessors (cpp.exe → bisect_ppx)
3. Use dune-workspace with coverage context
4. See TESTING_ANALYSIS.md for details
