Testing PDF Destination Comparison Utilities in Mozilla pdf.js

This test suite validates PDF destination hash and array comparison functionality in Mozilla’s pdf.js library. It focuses on testing utilities that compare PDF navigation destinations and ensure proper handling of various destination formats.

Test Coverage Overview

The test suite provides comprehensive coverage for two key utility functions: isDestHashesEqual and isDestArraysEqual.

  • Tests hash comparison with various formats including page numbers, named destinations, and zoom parameters
  • Validates array destination comparison with different page numbers, coordinates, and zoom levels
  • Covers edge cases including null values and malformed inputs
  • Tests integration with PDF navigation and linking features

Implementation Analysis

The implementation uses Jasmine’s BDD testing framework with nested describe blocks for organized test grouping.

The testing approach employs expect() assertions to validate equality comparisons, with separate test cases for positive and negative scenarios. Each function is tested independently with carefully constructed test data representing real-world PDF destination formats.

Technical Details

  • Testing Framework: Jasmine
  • Test Structure: BDD-style describe/it blocks
  • Assertion Method: expect().toEqual()
  • Test Data: Mixed format PDF destinations including hashes and arrays
  • Import Testing: Module import verification from pdf_history.js

Best Practices Demonstrated

The test suite exemplifies several testing best practices including clear test organization, comprehensive edge case coverage, and isolated function testing.

  • Separate positive and negative test cases
  • Descriptive test names that explain the test purpose
  • Consistent test data structure
  • Proper test isolation and setup
