Testing Integer Partition Algorithm Implementation in javascript-algorithms

This test suite validates the integer partition algorithm implementation, which calculates the number of ways an integer can be expressed as a sum of positive integers. The tests verify correct partition counts for numbers 1 through 8, ensuring the algorithm produces expected mathematical sequences.

Test Coverage Overview

The test suite provides comprehensive coverage of the integer partition function across multiple input values.

Key areas tested include:
  • Base cases (numbers 1-3)
  • Mid-range values (4-6)
  • Higher values (7-8)
  • Known partition sequence validation

Implementation Analysis

The testing approach uses Jest’s describe/it pattern to organize test cases in a clear, readable structure.

Testing patterns include:
  • Sequential value testing
  • Expect/toBe assertion chains
  • Single test block with multiple assertions
  • Progressive complexity validation

Technical Details

Testing infrastructure includes:
  • Jest testing framework
  • ES6 import/export syntax
  • Relative path module resolution
  • Equality matcher assertions

Best Practices Demonstrated

The test suite exhibits several testing best practices:

  • Clear test case organization
  • Comprehensive value coverage
  • Consistent assertion pattern
  • Mathematical sequence verification
  • Efficient test structure with multiple assertions
