cpanm Font::FreeType List::Util Readonly Carp
cpanm Term::ANSIColor File::Temp XML::Parser
```

### Run All Tests

```

### Run Specific Test Files

```bash
# Core functionality only
perl t/01_main_tests.t

# Font tests (requires fonts)
perl t/02_font_tests.t

# SVG import/export
perl t/03_svg_tests.t
```

## Test Coverage

The test suite provides comprehensive coverage of:

### ✓ Complete Coverage Areas
- Object creation and initialization
- All drawing primitives (lines, boxes, circles, arcs, curves)
- Coordinate transformations (translate, rotate, scale, skew)
- Graphics state management
- Path management and optimization
- Output generation (gcode, SVG, EPS)
- Error handling and validation
- Unit conversions
- Pen control

### ⚠ Partial Coverage (Requires Additional Resources)
- Font rendering (requires font files)
- SVG import (tested with synthetic SVGs)
- Hatching patterns (basic tests included)

### ⚙ Advanced Features Tested
- Path optimization algorithms
- Bezier curve subdivision
- Arc filleting
- Liang-Barsky clipping
- SVG transform parsing
- State preservation across save/restore

## Known Limitations

1. **Font Tests**: Require actual TTF/OTF font files. Tests will skip if fonts not found.
2. **vpype Integration**: The `vpype_linesort` method requires vpype installation and is not tested automatically.
3. **Split Functionality**: Sheet splitting tests require more complex setup and are not included.
4. **Visual Validation**: Tests verify data structures but not visual output correctness.

## Test Structure

Each test file follows this structure:

```perl
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Test::More;
use Test::Exception;

# Module loading
BEGIN {
    use_ok('Graphics::Penplotter::GcodeXY');
}

# Organized subtests
subtest 'Feature Name' => sub {
    plan tests => N;
    
    # Setup
    my $g = Graphics::Penplotter::GcodeXY->new(...);
    
    # Tests
    lives_ok { ... } 'operation succeeds';
    dies_ok { ... } 'invalid operation fails';
    is($value, $expected, 'value is correct');
    like($output, qr/pattern/, 'output matches pattern');
};

done_testing();
```

## Contributing

To add new tests:

1. Identify the feature/function to test
2. Create appropriate subtest in relevant file
3. Include both positive and negative test cases
4. Verify error handling
5. Check edge cases
6. Document test purpose

## Continuous Integration

Tests are designed to be CI-friendly:
- No GUI dependencies
- Graceful handling of missing optional dependencies
- Clean temporary file management
- Exit codes reflect pass/fail status

## Performance Notes

- Full test suite runs in < 5 seconds (without fonts)
- With font tests: ~10-15 seconds
- Memory usage: < 100MB
- No network dependencies

## Future Enhancements

Potential areas for expansion:

1. **Visual regression tests**: Compare generated images
2. **Performance benchmarks**: Measure optimization effectiveness
3. **Integration tests**: Test with actual plotter hardware/simulators
4. **Fuzzing**: Random input generation for robustness
5. **Property-based testing**: Use Test::Spec or similar

## Documentation

Each test includes:
- Purpose description
- Input conditions
- Expected outcomes
- Edge case coverage

## Maintenance

- Tests use `tempfile` and `tempdir` for cleanup
- No hardcoded paths (except common font locations)
- Cross-platform compatible
- Perl 5.38.2+ required (as per module requirements)
