Description
Implement A/B Testing Framework for Backend Comparison
Parent Epic: #461 (SurrealDB Migration)
Phase: 3 - Testing & Validation
Estimated Time: 3-4 days
Depends On: #464 (SurrealDB Implementation)
Objective
Create an A/B testing framework that enables parallel testing of Turso and SurrealDB backends, with automated performance monitoring and validation.
Implementation
1. A/B Testing Infrastructure
File: packages/desktop-app/src-tauri/src/datastore/ab_testing.rs
use anyhow::Result;
use std::sync::Arc;
use crate::datastore::NodeStore;
pub struct ABTestRunner {
backend_a: Arc<dyn NodeStore>,
backend_b: Arc<dyn NodeStore>,
metrics_collector: MetricsCollector,
}
impl ABTestRunner {
pub async fn new(
backend_a: Arc<dyn NodeStore>,
backend_b: Arc<dyn NodeStore>,
) -> Result<Self> {
Ok(Self {
backend_a,
backend_b,
metrics_collector: MetricsCollector::new(),
})
}
pub async fn run_parallel_test<F, T>(
&self,
test_name: &str,
test_fn: F,
) -> Result<ABTestResult<T>>
where
F: Fn(Arc<dyn NodeStore>) -> Result<T> + Send + Sync,
T: PartialEq + std::fmt::Debug,
{
let start_a = Instant::now();
let result_a = test_fn(self.backend_a.clone())?;
let duration_a = start_a.elapsed();
let start_b = Instant::now();
let result_b = test_fn(self.backend_b.clone())?;
let duration_b = start_b.elapsed();
// Validate results match
assert_eq!(result_a, result_b, "Backend results diverged!");
// Collect metrics
self.metrics_collector.record(test_name, duration_a, duration_b);
Ok(ABTestResult {
backend_a_duration: duration_a,
backend_b_duration: duration_b,
delta_percent: calculate_delta(duration_a, duration_b),
result: result_a,
})
}
}
#[derive(Debug)]
pub struct ABTestResult<T> {
pub backend_a_duration: Duration,
pub backend_b_duration: Duration,
pub delta_percent: f64,
pub result: T,
}2. Performance Metrics Collection
File: packages/desktop-app/src-tauri/src/datastore/metrics.rs
use std::time::Duration;
pub struct MetricsCollector {
metrics: Vec<OperationMetric>,
}
#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
pub struct OperationMetric {
pub operation: String,
pub backend_a_duration: Duration,
pub backend_b_duration: Duration,
pub timestamp: SystemTime,
}
impl MetricsCollector {
pub fn new() -> Self {
Self { metrics: Vec::new() }
}
pub fn record(
&mut self,
operation: &str,
backend_a_duration: Duration,
backend_b_duration: Duration,
) {
self.metrics.push(OperationMetric {
operation: operation.to_string(),
backend_a_duration,
backend_b_duration,
timestamp: SystemTime::now(),
});
}
pub fn generate_report(&self) -> MetricsReport {
// Calculate averages, percentiles, deltas
MetricsReport::from_metrics(&self.metrics)
}
pub fn export_csv(&self, path: &Path) -> Result<()> {
// Export metrics to CSV for analysis
}
}3. Automated Test Suite
File: packages/desktop-app/src-tauri/src/datastore/tests/ab_tests.rs
#[tokio::test]
async fn test_ab_crud_operations() {
let turso = create_turso_store().await.unwrap();
let surreal = create_surreal_store().await.unwrap();
let runner = ABTestRunner::new(turso, surreal).await.unwrap();
// Test create_node
let result = runner.run_parallel_test("create_node", |store| {
store.create_node(test_node()).await
}).await.unwrap();
assert!(result.delta_percent < 100.0, "Performance delta >100%");
// Test query_nodes
let result = runner.run_parallel_test("query_nodes", |store| {
store.query_nodes(test_filter()).await
}).await.unwrap();
assert!(result.delta_percent < 100.0, "Performance delta >100%");
// Generate report
let report = runner.metrics_collector.generate_report();
println!("{:?}", report);
}
#[tokio::test]
async fn test_ab_scale_100k() {
// Run 100K node test on both backends
// Validate performance within 2x of each other
}
#[tokio::test]
async fn test_ab_pagination() {
// Test deep pagination on both backends
// Validate results identical and performance acceptable
}
#[tokio::test]
async fn test_ab_complex_queries() {
// Test complex queries on both backends
// Validate query results match exactly
}Acceptance Criteria
- A/B testing framework implemented and functional
- Metrics collection working for all operations
- Automated test suite runs both backends in parallel
- Performance delta calculated and reported
- Results validation ensures backends behave identically
- CSV export for detailed analysis
- All tests pass with <100% performance delta
- Comprehensive test coverage for:
- CRUD operations
- Query operations
- Hierarchy operations
- Property operations
- Batch operations
- Transaction support
Testing
Automated Tests
- test_ab_crud_operations
- test_ab_query_operations
- test_ab_scale_100k
- test_ab_pagination
- test_ab_complex_queries
- test_ab_property_operations
Validation Checks
- Results from both backends are identical
- Performance delta <100% (Turso baseline)
- No regressions in functionality
- Memory usage comparable
Metrics to Collect
- Operation latency (p50, p95, p99)
- Throughput (operations/sec)
- Memory usage
- Startup time
- Query result count validation
Success Criteria
GO Criteria:
- ✅ All test results match between backends
- ✅ Performance delta <100% (SurrealDB within 2x of Turso)
- ✅ Zero functional regressions
- ✅ Memory usage acceptable (<2x Turso)
NO-GO Triggers:
- ❌ Result divergence between backends
- ❌ Performance delta >200% (SurrealDB >3x slower)
- ❌ Any functional regressions
- ❌ Memory usage >3x Turso
Dependencies
