undergroundwires 3e5239f7d3 Add SAST security checks with SECURITY.md #178
This commit incorporates Static Analysis Security Testing (SAST) using
CodeQL. This integration will enforce consistent security assessments
with every change and on a predetermined schedule.

This commit also involves a restructure of security checks. The existing
security-checks workflow is renamed to better reflect its functionality
related to dependency audits.

These changes will enhance the project's resilience against potential
vulnerabilities in both the codebase and third-party dependencies.

Changes include:

- Remove older LGTM badge that's replaced by SAST checks.
- Rename `checks.security.yaml` to `checks.security.dependencies.yaml`,
  reinforcing the focus on dependency audits.
- Update `README.md`, ensuring the clear representation of security
  check statuses, including new SAST integration.
- Add new `SECURITY.md`, establishing the protocol for reporting
  vulnerabilities and outlining the project's commitment to robust
  security testing.
- Enhance `docs/tests.md` with detailed information on the newly
  integrated security checks.
- Add reference to SECURITY.md in README.md.

# Tests
There are different types of tests executed:
1. [Unit tests](#unit-tests)
2. [Integration tests](#integration-tests)
3. [End-to-end (E2E) tests](#e2e-tests)
4. [Automated checks](#automated-checks)
## Unit and integration tests
- They utilize [Vitest](https://vitest.dev/).
- Test files are suffixed with `.spec.ts`.
### Act, arrange, assert
- Tests implement the act, arrange, and assert (AAA) pattern.
- **Arrange**
- Sets up the test scenario and environment.
- Begins with comment line `// arrange`.
- **Act**
- Executes the actual test.
- Begins with comment line `// act`.
- **Assert**
- Sets an expectation for the test's outcome.
- Begins with comment line `// assert`.
### Unit tests
- Evaluate individual components in isolation.
- Located in [`./tests/unit`](./../tests/unit).
- Achieve isolation using [stubs](./../tests/unit/shared/Stubs).
- Include Vue component tests, enabled by `@vue/test-utils`.
#### Unit tests naming
- Test suites start with a description of the component or system under test.
- E.g., tests for `Application.ts` are contained in `Application.spec.ts`.
- Whenever possible, `describe` blocks group tests of the same function.
- E.g., tests for `run()` are inside `describe('run', () => ...)`.
### Integration tests
- Assess the combined functionality of components.
- They verify that third-party dependencies function as anticipated.
## E2E tests
- Examine the live web application's functionality and performance.
- Uses Cypress to run the tests.
## Automated checks
These checks validate various qualities like runtime execution, building process, security testing, etc.
- Use [various tools](./../package.json) and [scripts](./../scripts).
- Are automatically executed as [GitHub workflows](./../.github/workflows).
### Security checks
- [`checks.security.sast`](./../.github/workflows/checks.security.sast.yaml): Utilizes CodeQL to conduct Static Analysis Security Testing (SAST) to ensure the secure integrity of the codebase.
- [`checks.security.dependencies`](./../.github/workflows/checks.security.dependencies.yaml): Performs audits on third-party dependencies to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities, safeguarding the project from exploitable weaknesses.
## Tests structure
- [`package.json`](./../package.json): Defines test commands and includes tools used in tests.
- [`vite.config.ts`](./../vite.config.ts): Configures `vitest` for unit and integration tests.
- [`./src/`](./../src/): Contains the code subject to testing.
- [`./tests/shared/`](./../tests/shared/): Contains code shared by different test categories.
- [`bootstrap/setup.ts`](./../tests/shared/bootstrap/setup.ts): Initializes unit and integration tests.
- [`./tests/unit/`](./../tests/unit/)
- Stores unit test code.
- The directory structure mirrors [`./src/`](./../src).
- E.g., tests for [`./src/application/ApplicationFactory.ts`](./../src/application/ApplicationFactory.ts) reside in [`./tests/unit/application/ApplicationFactory.spec.ts`](./../tests/unit/application/ApplicationFactory.spec.ts).
- [`shared/`](./../tests/unit/shared/)
- Contains shared unit test functionalities.
- [`Assertions/`](./../tests/unit/shared/Assertions): Contains common assertion functions, prefixed with `expect`.
- [`TestCases/`](./../tests/unit/shared/TestCases/)
- Shared test cases.
- Functions that calls `it()` from [Vitest](https://vitest.dev/) should have `it` prefix.
- [`Stubs/`](./../tests/unit/shared/Stubs): Maintains stubs for component isolation, equipped with basic functionalities and, when necessary, spying or mocking capabilities.
- [`./tests/integration/`](./../tests/integration/): Contains integration test files.
- [`cypress.config.ts`](./../cypress.config.ts): Cypress (E2E tests) configuration file.
- [`./tests/e2e/`](./../tests/e2e/): Base Cypress folder, includes tests with `.cy.ts` extension.
- [`/support/e2e.ts`](./../tests/e2e/support/e2e.ts): Support file, runs before every single spec file.
- [`/tsconfig.json`]: TypeScript configuration for file Cypress code, improves IDE support, recommended to have by official documentation.
- *(git ignored)* `/videos`: Asset folder for videos taken during tests.
- *(git ignored)* `/screenshots`: Asset folder for Screenshots taken during tests.
