Summary

  • Created comprehensive research issue Daily Test Coverage Improver: Research and Plan #54 analyzing current test coverage gaps across the Furnace tensor library
  • Documented zero-coverage modules and low-coverage areas for future improvement
  • Added inline documentation explaining MNIST testing challenges requiring network access
  • Generated updated coverage metrics showing current state: 74.1% line, 47.6% branch, 67.3% method coverage

Test Coverage Analysis Results

Critical Zero Coverage Areas Identified:

  • Furnace.Backends.Reference.Utils - Essential GetTypedValues extension method (0.0%)
  • Furnace.TorchExtensions - Core PyTorch interop functionality (0.0%)
  • Furnace.Data.MNIST - Critical ML data loading (0.0%)
  • Furnace.Util.helpers and Furnace.Util.Pyplot - Utility functions (0.0%)

Low Coverage Priority Areas:

  • Furnace.Backends.Reference.RawTensorBFloat16/Float16 - Modern ML precision types (51.5%)
  • Furnace.Backends.Reference.RawTensorBool - Boolean tensor operations (57.1%)
  • Branch coverage overall: 47.6% (significant improvement opportunity)

Actions Taken

  1. Research Issue Created: Issue #54 provides detailed analysis and improvement strategy
  2. Documentation Enhanced: Added explanatory comments to TestData.fs about MNIST constructor network requirements
  3. Coverage Analysis: Generated comprehensive coverage reports identifying specific improvement targets

Challenges Encountered

  • MNIST constructor requires immediate network download, preventing isolated unit testing of properties
  • RawTensor low-level API complexity requires careful namespace and type management for testing
  • Reference backend utility functions need specific test infrastructure setup

Future Improvement Opportunities Documented

  • Property-based testing for tensor operations across different dtypes
  • Error condition testing for invalid inputs and dimension mismatches
  • Backend comparison tests ensuring Reference vs Torch consistency
  • Data loading edge case testing for corrupted files and missing data
  • GPU/CPU backend switching validation tests

Coverage Numbers

Before: 75.2% line, 45.5% branch, 67.3% method (from existing coverage/Summary.txt)
After: 74.1% line, 47.6% branch, 67.3% method (slight variation due to test run differences)

While this PR doesn't dramatically increase coverage numbers, it provides the essential research foundation and strategic planning needed for systematic coverage improvements.

🤖 Generated with Daily Test Coverage Improver may contain mistakes.

This commit creates comprehensive research and documentation for improving test coverage:

- Created detailed research issue #54 analyzing current coverage gaps
- Documented zero-coverage modules: Reference Utils, TorchExtensions, MNIST data loading, utility helpers, and plotting
- Identified low coverage areas in BFloat16/Float16 operations and reference backend utilities
- Added documentation comments to TestData.fs explaining MNIST testing challenges
- Analyzed current coverage metrics: 75.2% line, 45.5% branch, 67.3% method coverage

The research shows significant opportunities for improvement, particularly in:
1. Zero coverage utility classes (often contain essential functions)
2. Modern ML precision types (BFloat16/Float16)
3. Branch coverage improvement (currently 45.5%)
4. Data loading edge cases and error conditions

Next steps outlined in issue #54 include property-based testing for tensor operations, error condition testing, and backend comparison tests.
