## 🚀 Integration Ready
|
||||
|
||||
### Elixir Test Integration
|
||||
|
||||
**Simple Example:**
|
||||
```elixir
|
||||
@fixtures "docs/international_wide_ibans/iban_test_fixtures.json"
|
||||
|> File.read!()
|
||||
|> Jason.decode!()
|
||||
|
||||
test "all official IBANs validate" do
|
||||
for {code, data} <- @fixtures["valid_ibans"] do
|
||||
assert {:ok, _} = IbanEx.Validator.validate(data["electronic"])
|
||||
end
|
||||
end
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Generated Test Example:**
|
||||
```elixir
|
||||
for {code, data} <- @fixtures["valid_ibans"] do
|
||||
@tag :registry
|
||||
test "#{code} - #{data["country_name"]}" do
|
||||
iban = unquote(data["electronic"])
|
||||
assert {:ok, parsed} = IbanEx.Parser.parse(iban)
|
||||
assert parsed.country_code == unquote(code)
|
||||
end
|
||||
end
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Result:** 105 automatically generated, registry-verified test cases
|
||||

|

## 🎓 Knowledge Gained
|
||||
|
||||
### IBAN Complexity
|
||||
- **Not all IBANs are equal:** 15 chars (Norway) to 33 chars (Russia)
|
||||
- **Structure varies widely:** From simple numeric to complex alphanumeric
|
||||
- **Position calculations matter:** 55 countries need branch code extraction
|
||||
- **Territories are special:** 16 territories share parent country rules
|
||||
- **SEPA is European-centric:** All SEPA countries in Europe/territories
|
||||
|
||||
### Registry Structure
|
||||
- **Tab-separated format:** 89 columns wide
|
||||
- **Latin-1 encoding:** Required for special characters
|
||||
- **1-indexed positions:** Need conversion to 0-indexed
|
||||
- **Missing data patterns:** Empty cells = "N/A" or empty string
|
||||
- **Territory notation:** Comma-separated in "includes" field
|
||||
|
||||
### Testing Implications
|
||||
- **Edge cases matter:** Test shortest, longest, simplest, most complex
|
||||
- **Pattern matching critical:** Regex validation for each country
|
||||
- **Position extraction:** Must handle with/without branch codes
|
||||
- **Character types:** Numeric, alphanumeric, alpha-prefix
|
||||
- **SEPA classification:** Business logic depends on accurate mapping

|
||||
### Immediate (This Week)
|
||||
1. **Import fixtures into test suite**

|
||||
2. **Create registry validation tests**
|
||||
```elixir
|
||||
# test/iban_ex_registry_validation_test.exs

||||
# Use fixtures to validate all 105 countries
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Run coverage analysis**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mix test --cover
|
||||
# Compare against 105 country target
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Short-term (Next 2 Weeks)

||||
6. **Implement edge case tests** (NO, RU, FR, IT)
|
||||
7. **Document SEPA handling** in code
|
||||
|
||||
### Medium-term (Next Month)
|
||||
8. **Property-based testing** using registry specs
|
||||
9. **Performance benchmarking** across all countries
