Cara Testing

Step 1: Gunakan Nomor Test

JANGAN test dengan nomor bisnis langsung!

Options:
1. Nomor HP kedua/pribadi
2. Nomor teman/keluarga
3. WhatsApp Business Sandbox (Cloud API)
4. Emulator (untuk development)

Step 2: Test Basic Flow

Test 1: Greeting
Send: "Halo"
Expected: Welcome message + menu

Test 2: Menu Selection
Send: "1"
Expected: Response untuk menu 1

Test 3: Keyword Trigger
Send: "harga"
Expected: Daftar harga

Test 4: Unknown Input
Send: "xyz123"
Expected: "Maaf, tidak dimengerti..."

Step 3: Test Setiap Keyword

javascript

// Test cases untuk keyword
const testCases = [
    { input: 'harga', expected: 'contains:Rp' },
    { input: 'HARGA', expected: 'contains:Rp' },
    { input: 'Harga dong', expected: 'contains:Rp' },
    { input: 'katalog', expected: 'contains:produk' },
    { input: 'order', expected: 'contains:cara order' },
    { input: 'ongkir jakarta', expected: 'contains:JNE' },
];

async function runTests() {
    for (const test of testCases) {
        const response = await simulateMessage(test.input);
        const passed = checkExpectation(response, test.expected);
        console.log(`${test.input}: ${passed ? '✅' : '❌'}`);
    }
}

Step 4: Test Complete Flow

SCENARIO: Customer Order Flow

1. Send: "halo"
   → Check: Welcome message

2. Send: "1" (katalog)
   → Check: List produk

3. Send: "order kaos hitam L 2"
   → Check: Konfirmasi order

4. Send: [alamat]
   → Check: Pilihan kurir

5. Send: "1" (pilih kurir)
   → Check: Invoice

6. Send: [bukti transfer]
   → Check: Konfirmasi pembayaran

Step 5: Test Edge Cases

EDGE CASE TESTS:

1. Empty message
   Send: "" (kosong)
   Expected: Ignore atau default response

2. Very long message
   Send: [500+ karakter]
   Expected: Tidak crash

3. Rapid messages
   Send: 10 pesan dalam 5 detik
   Expected: Handle gracefully

4. Special characters
   Send: "harga <script>alert(1)</script>"
   Expected: Sanitized, no injection

5. Media message
   Send: [gambar]
   Expected: "Untuk gambar, silakan..."

Automated Testing

Unit Test untuk Bot:

javascript

const assert = require('assert');

describe('Auto Reply Bot', () => {
    
    it('should reply greeting for "halo"', async () => {
        const response = await bot.processMessage('halo');
        assert(response.includes('Selamat datang'));
    });
    
    it('should show price for "harga"', async () => {
        const response = await bot.processMessage('harga');
        assert(response.includes('Rp'));
    });
    
    it('should handle unknown input', async () => {
        const response = await bot.processMessage('xyz123random');
        assert(response.includes('tidak dimengerti'));
    });
    
    it('should be case insensitive', async () => {
        const r1 = await bot.processMessage('KATALOG');
        const r2 = await bot.processMessage('katalog');
        const r3 = await bot.processMessage('Katalog');
        assert(r1 === r2 && r2 === r3);
    });
    
});

Integration Test:

javascript

describe('Order Flow', () => {
    
    it('should complete full order flow', async () => {
        const session = new TestSession();
        
        // Step 1: Greeting
        let response = await session.send('halo');
        assert(response.includes('menu'));
        
        // Step 2: Select order
        response = await session.send('order kaos hitam L 1');
        assert(response.includes('konfirmasi'));
        
        // Step 3: Send address
        response = await session.send('Jl. Test No. 123, Jakarta');
        assert(response.includes('kurir'));
        
        // Step 4: Select courier
        response = await session.send('1');
        assert(response.includes('total'));
        
        // Order complete!
    });
    
});

Debugging Tips

1. Enable Logging

javascript

client.on('message', async msg => {
    console.log('---');
    console.log('From:', msg.from);
    console.log('Body:', msg.body);
    console.log('Type:', msg.type);
    
    const response = await processMessage(msg);
    
    console.log('Response:', response);
    console.log('---');
});

2. Check State

javascript

// Debug user state
client.on('message', async msg => {
    const state = userState.get(msg.from);
    console.log('Current state:', state);
    
    // Process...
    
    console.log('New state:', userState.get(msg.from));
});

3. Test in Isolation

javascript

// Test function langsung tanpa WA
async function testProcessMessage() {
    const mockMsg = {
        from: '[email protected]',
        body: 'harga'
    };
    
    const response = await processMessage(mockMsg);
    console.log('Response:', response);
}

testProcessMessage();

FAQ

Berapa lama testing yang cukup?

Minimal 1-2 hari untuk bot sederhana. Lebih kompleks = lebih lama.

Perlu QA khusus?

Untuk bisnis besar, yes. Untuk UMKM, bisa test sendiri + minta teman bantu.

Kapan boleh go live?

Setelah semua test passed dan sudah test dengan real users (teman/keluarga).

Testing = Insurance for your bot!

Test thoroughly, launch confidently!
