+# AudioSort Test Suite
+
+Comprehensive test suite for AudioSort application using real WAV files with embedded metadata.
+
+## Running Tests
+
+### Run all tests
+```powershell
+npm test
+```
+
+### Run specific test suites
+```powershell
+# Tag Service tests (metadata read/write)
+npm run test:tag
+
+# Library Service tests (scanning, organizing, file operations)
+npm run test:library
+
+# Search Service tests (fuzzy search, filters)
+node --import tsx --test src/test/SearchService.test.ts
+```
+
+### Run individual test files
+```powershell
+node --import tsx --test src/test/DatabaseService.test.ts
+node --import tsx --test src/test/TagService.test.ts
+node --import tsx --test src/test/LibraryService.test.ts
+node --import tsx --test src/test/SearchService.test.ts
+```
+
+## Test Coverage
+
+### DatabaseService Tests (20+ tests)
+- **File Management**: upsertFile, listFiles, getFileById, updateFileLocation, deleteFile
+- **Tagging Operations**: updateTagging, updateCustomName
+- **Category Management**: upsertCategory, getCategoryById, listCategories
+- **Duplicate Detection**: listDuplicateGroups by checksum
+- **Settings Persistence**: setSetting, getSettings
+- Edge cases: Missing files, null values, duplicate checksums
+
+### TagService Tests (14 tests)
+- **readMetadata**: Reading author, copyright, title, rating from WAV files
+- **writeMetadataOnly**: Writing metadata to WAV INFO chunks
+- **applyTagging**: Updating tags/categories in database and WAV files
+- Edge cases: Missing metadata, corrupted files, empty values, normalization
+
+### LibraryService Tests (20+ tests)
+- **scanLibrary**: File discovery, metadata extraction, temp file cleanup
+- **listFiles**: File listing with metadata
+- **renameFile**: File renaming on disk and in database
+- **moveFile**: Moving files between directories
+- **updateCustomName**: Custom name management
+- **updateFileMetadata**: Metadata updates without organizing
+- **readFileMetadata**: Reading embedded WAV metadata
+- **listMetadataSuggestions**: Aggregating author/copyright suggestions
+- **deleteFiles**: File deletion from disk and database
+- **cleanupTempFiles**: Orphaned temp file recovery
+
+### SearchService Tests (13 tests)
+- **search**: Fuzzy search by filename, tags, path
+- **Advanced filters**: author:, copyright: field-specific searches
+- **Metadata caching**: Performance optimization
+- **rebuildIndex**: Index updates after database changes
+- Edge cases: Empty queries, typos, no matches
+
+## Test Data
+
+Tests use the `TestWavGenerator` class to create real WAV files with:
+- Configurable duration, sample rate, bit depth
+- Embedded metadata (author, copyright, title, rating)
+- Tags and UCS categories
+- Sine wave audio data (440 Hz)
+
+Example test file creation:
+```typescript
+await TestWavGenerator.writeTestWav('test.wav', {
+  duration: 1,
+  sampleRate: 44100,
+  bitDepth: 16,
+  author: 'Test Author',
+  copyright: 'Test Copyright',
+  title: 'Test Title',
+  rating: 3,
+  tags: ['test', 'audio'],
+  categories: ['AMBNatr']
+});
+```
+
+## Test Isolation
+
+Each test suite:
+1. Creates temporary database and library directories
+2. Generates fresh test WAV files
+3. Initializes services with isolated instances
+4. Cleans up all resources after tests complete
+
+Temporary files are created in `test-data/` and automatically removed.
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests
+- Test individual service methods in isolation
+- Verify correct behavior with valid inputs
+- Handle edge cases and error conditions
+
+### Integration Tests
+- Test interactions between services (LibraryService + TagService + SearchService)
+- Verify database updates reflect in search results
+- Ensure file system operations complete successfully
+
+### Real Data Tests
+- Use actual WAV files with embedded metadata
+- Test metadata round-trip (write then read)
+- Verify file integrity after operations
+
+## Extending Tests
+
+### Adding New Test Cases
+
+1. **For TagService**:
+```typescript
+it('should handle new metadata field', () => {
+  tagService.writeMetadataOnly(testFilePath, {
+    tags: [],
+    categories: [],
+    newField: 'value'
+  });
+  
+  const metadata = tagService.readMetadata(testFilePath);
+  assert.strictEqual(metadata.newField, 'value');
+});
+```
+
+2. **For LibraryService**:
+```typescript
+it('should handle new operation', async () => {
+  await libraryService.scanLibrary();
+  const files = libraryService.listFiles();
+  
+  // Perform operation
+  await libraryService.newOperation(files[0].id);
+  
+  // Verify results
+  const updated = libraryService.listFiles();
+  assert.ok(/* verification */);
+});
+```
+
+3. **For SearchService**:
+```typescript
+it('should support new filter', () => {
+  const results = searchService.search('newfilter:value');
+  
+  assert.ok(results.length > 0);
+  assert.ok(/* filter applied correctly */);
+});
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Tests hang or timeout
+- Check for leaked file handles (ensure database.close() in afterEach)
+- Verify temp files are being cleaned up
+- Increase test timeout if needed
+
+### File not found errors
+- Ensure library path is created before writing test files
+- Check file paths use correct separators for OS
+- Verify temp directory permissions
+
+### Metadata not persisting
+- Confirm WAV file format is correct (use WaveFile library)
+- Check INFO chunk tags are supported
+- Verify file is written to disk before reading
+
+### Search tests fail
+- Rebuild search index after database changes
+- Clear metadata cache when needed
+- Check Fuse.js scoring thresholds
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- Tests create real WAV files (may be slower than mocks)
+- Each test suite runs independently with fresh data
+- Cleanup operations ensure no disk space accumulation
+- Test data directory can be cleared manually if needed: `rm -rf test-data`
+
+## CI/CD Integration
+
+Tests can be run in CI/CD pipelines:
+
+```yaml
+# GitHub Actions example
+- name: Run tests
+  run: npm test
+```
+
+Tests require:
+- Node.js 18+ (for node:test runner)
+- File system write access
+- Sufficient disk space for test WAV files (~1-2 MB per test run)
+
+## Debugging Tests
+
+Enable verbose output:
+```powershell
+NODE_OPTIONS='--test-reporter=spec' npm test
+```
+
+Run specific test:
+```powershell
+node --import tsx --test --test-name-pattern="should read author" src/test/TagService.test.ts
+```
+
+Debug with inspector:
+```powershell
+node --import tsx --test --inspect-brk src/test/TagService.test.ts
+```

+/**
+ * Test Suite Summary
+ * ===================
+ * 
+ * Comprehensive test coverage for AudioSort application core services.
+ * All tests use real WAV file generation and isolated test environments.
+ * 
+ * Total Test Count: 67+ tests across 4 test files
+ * 
+ * Test Files:
+ * -----------
+ * 
+ * 1. DatabaseService.test.ts (20 tests)
+ *    - File CRUD operations
+ *    - Tag and category management
+ *    - Duplicate detection
+ *    - Settings persistence
+ * 
+ * 2. TagService.test.ts (14 tests)
+ *    - WAV metadata reading (author, copyright, title, rating)
+ *    - WAV metadata writing
+ *    - Tag normalization and application
+ * 
+ * 3. LibraryService.test.ts (20 tests)
+ *    - Library scanning with metadata priority
+ *    - File operations (rename, move, delete)
+ *    - Temp file cleanup and recovery
+ *    - Metadata management without organizing
+ * 
+ * 4. SearchService.test.ts (13 tests)
+ *    - Fuzzy search across filename, tags, path
+ *    - Advanced filters (author:, copyright:)
+ *    - Typo tolerance and similarity scoring
+ *    - Metadata caching and index rebuilding
+ * 
+ * Running Tests:
+ * --------------
+ * 
+ * # Run all tests
+ * npm test
+ * 
+ * # Run specific service tests
+ * npm run test:database
+ * npm run test:tag
+ * npm run test:library
+ * npm run test:search
+ * 
+ * Test Infrastructure:
+ * --------------------
+ * 
+ * - Framework: Node.js built-in test runner (node:test)
+ * - TypeScript: tsx for runtime execution
+ * - WAV Generation: WaveFile library with real audio data
+ * - Test Isolation: Temporary databases and libraries per suite
+ * - Audio Format: 16-bit PCM, 44100 Hz, sine wave (440 Hz)
+ * - Metadata: WAV INFO chunks (INAM, IART, ICOP, IRTD, etc.)
+ * 
+ * Key Features:
+ * -------------
+ * 
+ * ✓ Real WAV file generation with embedded metadata
+ * ✓ Isolated test environments (no cross-contamination)
+ * ✓ Comprehensive coverage of all service methods
+ * ✓ Edge case testing (missing data, errors, duplicates)
+ * ✓ Fast execution with minimal dependencies
+ * ✓ No mocking - tests use actual service implementations
+ * 
+ * For detailed documentation, see TEST_README.md
