Research direction

Start by inspecting the backend test layout and choose one isolated API or UI behavior, such as asset deletion safeguards, telemetry trace shaping, or empty-state behavior. Add deterministic success and failure or edge-case coverage with descriptive names, then run PYTHONPATH=backend pytest -q; done means the suite passes and the chosen coverage is documented in the pull request.

Description

good first issue help wanted testing

Goal

Add focused automated tests for one small, well-isolated OpenOrbit feature.

Suggested scope

Choose one API or UI behavior that currently has limited coverage, then add a clear success case and one meaningful failure or edge case. Good candidates include asset deletion safeguards, telemetry trace shaping, or empty-state behavior.

Acceptance criteria

  • Tests are deterministic and do not require external credentials or network access.
  • The test names explain the expected behavior.
  • PYTHONPATH=backend pytest -q passes.
  • Briefly document the chosen coverage in the pull request.
