|---|---|---|
| Unit tests | 116 | Inline #[test] across 62 modules: strategies(3), engine(9), rules(3), taint(2), crosslang(3), strategy(4), core(15), storage(2), a2ml(9), timeline(15), attestation(11), mass_panic(9), notify(7), signatures(8), plus others |
| P2P (Property-Based) | 14 | NEW: tests/property_tests.rs — invariant verification, kanren correctness, weak point consistency |
| E2E | 12 | NEW: tests/e2e_tests.rs — self-scan dogfooding, vulnerable examples, full pipeline, serialization, determinism |
| Aspect (Error/Perf/Security) | 18 | NEW: tests/aspect_tests.rs — malformed code, deeply nested, long lines, mixed encodings, scaling, evasion resilience |
| Integration | 3 | tests/integration.rs — assail on vulnerable_program, no-duplicates, per-file stats |
| Benchmarks | 7 | benches/scan_bench.rs — language detect, family classify, self-scan, taint analysis, rule eval, location extract, stats calc |
Total test count: 116 (lib) + 14 (P2P) + 12 (E2E) + 18 (Aspect) + 3 (Integration) + 12 (Pattern) + 22 (Readiness) + 10 (Types) + 8 (Regression) + 11 (Report) + 7 (Panll) + 6 (Assemblyline) + 16 (SARIF) = 202+ tests passing
Fake fuzz alert resolved: Removed tests/fuzz/placeholder.txt (scorecard placeholder).
- Language detection: idempotent, all languages have valid families
- Weak point location validity: must be present or explicitly None
- Pattern matching: no false positives on comments, proper detection of actual code constructs
- Report statistics: consistency (metrics don't exceed total lines)
- Kanren logic engine: unification symmetry, forward chaining preservation, fact DB integrity
- Error recovery: empty input, long file names, Unicode content
- Self-scan (dogfooding): Scan panic-attack's own source code — detects issues, all weak points have locations
- Full analysis pipeline: File → Language detection → Rules → Report generation
- Vulnerable examples: Scan examples/vulnerable_program.rs, examples/attack_harness.rs
- Report serialization: JSON and YAML output validation
- Deterministic analysis: Same input produces same output
- Directory vs file consistency: Aggregate reports match component scans
- Multi-language: Python file scanning (if fixtures exist)
-
Error Handling:
- Malformed Rust code (unclosed braces)
- Deeply nested code (100 levels) — no stack overflow
- Very long lines (10K+ chars) — no regex engine DoS
- Mixed line endings (LF/CRLF/CR)
- NUL bytes in source files
- UTF-8 BOM handling
- Empty files and whitespace-only files
- Permission denied files (Unix)
- Binary files in scan path (skipped correctly)
-
Performance Scaling:
- File count scaling: 1 → 5 → 10 files, times remain reasonable (<5s for 10 small files)
- Memory bounded: Large files (1000+ lines) analyzed without excessive allocation
- Parallel analysis: rayon-based concurrent scanning is thread-safe
-
Security Evasion (Critical for security tools):
- Comment evasion:
// unwrap()in comments not flagged as code - String evasion: Code in strings (eval, base64 etc.) not executed, patterns still detected
- Encoding evasion resilience: Base64-encoded patterns don't bypass actual code detection
- Comment evasion:
- Language detection speed: 18 file extensions
- Language family classification: 12 languages
- Self-scan: panic-attack source analysis (dogfooding)
- Taint analysis: TaintAnalyzer sources iteration
- Rule evaluation: 4 languages in sequence
- Location extraction: 100 weak points
- Statistics calculation: Field access throughput

- Fake fuzz removed:
tests/fuzz/placeholder.txtwas inherited from template, contained no real fuzz logic - Proptest added: v1.4 dev-dependency for future advanced property testing
- Self-scan is highest value: E2E test that verifies tool works on real codebase (itself)
- Security tests critical: Verified that comment/string/encoding evasion attempts don't bypass detection
- All tests passing:
cargo test+cargo bench --no-runboth succeed - Zero compiler warnings in release builds maintained
