Strategy Tester with controlled inputs +Frequency: Every new function or major modification +Pass Criteria: Function behaves correctly with all input variations +``` + +**Example Unit Tests**: +- `CalculatePositionSize()`: Test with various account sizes, risk percentages, SL distances +- `DetectOrderBlocks()`: Validate OB detection with known historical patterns +- `AnalyzeEntryOpportunity()`: Test pattern combination logic with controlled scenarios + +### Tier 2: Integration Testing (Function Groups) +**When**: After completing related function groups

each function as it's completed +4. **Code Documentation**: Comment complex logic immediately + +**Best Practices**: +- Implement one function at a time +- Test immediately after implementation +- Commit working code frequently (if using version control) +- Never implement multiple complex features simultaneously + +### Stage 3: Integration & Validation (Testing) +**Duration**: 30-60 minutes per feature +**Activities**: +1. **Integration Testing**: Verify new feature works with existing systems +2. **Regression Testing**: Ensure existing functionality still works +3. **Performance Testing**: Validate no performance degradation +4. **Edge Case Testing**: Test boundary conditions and error scenarios + +**Validation Checklist**: +- [ ] New feature functions correctly +- [ ] Existing features still work (regression test) +- [ ] Performance meets baseline standards +- [ ] Error handling works properly +- [ ] Risk management remains intact + +### Stage 4: Strategy Validation (System Testing) +**Duration**: 2-4 hours +**Activities**: +1. **Comprehensive Backtesting**: Full system test with extended data +2. **Multi-Symbol Testing**: Validate across different currency pairs +3. **Market Condition Testing**: Test in various market environments +4. **Performance Benchmarking**: Compare against baseline metrics + +**Success Criteria**: +- Performance equal to or better than baseline +- No critical errors or failures +- Risk management functioning correctly +- Pattern detection accuracy maintained + +### Stage 5: Demo Deployment (Pre-Live Testing)
