+## Testing
+
+This library includes comprehensive unit tests to ensure reliability and enable safe refactoring. The tests cover all public API functions including:
+
+- Dimmer creation and initialization
+- Power control with boundary conditions
+- State management (ON/OFF)
+- Mode management (NORMAL/TOGGLE)
+- Multiple independent dimmers
+
+### Running Tests
+
+To run the unit tests:
+
+```bash
+cd test_app
+idf.py set-target esp32
+idf.py build
+idf.py -p /dev/ttyUSB0 flash monitor
+```
+
+See [test_app/README.md](test_app/README.md) for detailed testing documentation.

+# ESP32 Dimmer Driver Unit Tests
+
+This directory contains unit tests for the ESP32 Dimmer Driver library.
+
+## Test Structure
+
+The tests are organized using the ESP-IDF Unity testing framework and cover the following functionality:
+
+### Test Categories
+
+1. **Dimmer Creation Tests**
+   - `test_createDimmer_returns_valid_pointer`: Verifies that createDimmer returns a valid pointer
+   - `test_createDimmer_with_different_pins`: Tests creating multiple dimmers with different GPIO pins
+
+2. **Power Control Tests**
+   - `test_setPower_getPower_normal_values`: Tests setting and getting power with normal values (0, 50, 99)
+   - `test_setPower_boundary_values`: Tests boundary conditions (values above 99 are clamped)
+   - `test_getPower_when_dimmer_off`: Verifies getPower returns 0 when dimmer is OFF
+
+3. **State Management Tests**
+   - `test_setState_getState`: Tests setting and getting the dimmer state (ON/OFF)
+   - `test_changeState_toggles_state`: Verifies changeState toggles between ON and OFF
+   - `test_state_affects_getPower`: Tests that state changes affect getPower behavior
+
+4. **Mode Management Tests**
+   - `test_setMode_getMode`: Tests setting and getting dimmer modes (NORMAL/TOGGLE)
+   - `test_toggleSettings_with_valid_values`: Tests toggle settings with valid range
+   - `test_toggleSettings_boundary_values`: Tests toggle settings with boundary values
+
+5. **Initialization Tests**
+   - `test_begin_with_normal_mode`: Tests initialization with NORMAL_MODE
+   - `test_begin_with_toggle_mode`: Tests initialization with TOGGLE_MODE
+
+6. **Multiple Dimmer Tests**
+   - `test_multiple_dimmers_independent`: Verifies multiple dimmers operate independently
+
+## Running the Tests
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- ESP-IDF v5.0 or higher installed
+- ESP32 development board (tests can run without actual hardware connected)
+
+### Build and Flash
+
+1. Navigate to the test_app directory:
+   ```bash
+   cd test_app
+   ```
+
+2. Set the target (if not already set):
+   ```bash
+   idf.py set-target esp32
+   ```
+
+3. Build the test application:
+   ```bash
+   idf.py build
+   ```
+
+4. Flash to your ESP32 board:
+   ```bash
+   idf.py -p /dev/ttyUSB0 flash monitor
+   ```
+   Replace `/dev/ttyUSB0` with your serial port.
+
+### Expected Output
+
+When the tests run successfully, you should see output similar to:
+
+```
+========================================
+ESP32 Dimmer Driver Unit Tests
+========================================
+
+Running test_createDimmer_returns_valid_pointer...
+PASS
+
+Running test_createDimmer_with_different_pins...
+PASS
+
+...
+
+========================================
+All tests completed!
+========================================
+
+16 Tests 0 Failures 0 Ignored
+OK
+```
+
+## Test Coverage
+
+The unit tests cover:
+
+- ✅ Dimmer object creation
+- ✅ Power setting and retrieval with boundary conditions
+- ✅ State management (ON/OFF)
+- ✅ Mode management (NORMAL/TOGGLE)
+- ✅ Toggle settings configuration
+- ✅ Multiple independent dimmers
+- ✅ State-dependent behavior
+
+## Notes for Future Refactoring
+
+These unit tests are designed to:
+
+1. **Enable safe refactoring**: The tests verify the API contract, allowing you to refactor internal implementation while ensuring the public API behavior remains consistent.
+
+2. **Document expected behavior**: Each test serves as executable documentation of how the library should behave.
+
+3. **Catch regressions**: Running these tests after changes helps catch any unintended behavior changes.
+
+4. **Hardware independence**: These tests focus on the software logic and can run without actual dimmer hardware connected. They test the API layer and state management.
+
+## Limitations
+
+- These tests do not verify actual hardware functionality (zero-crossing detection, TRIAC firing)
+- ISR behavior is not directly tested (requires hardware/simulation)
+- Timing-critical code paths are not fully tested without hardware
+
+For hardware integration testing, additional tests would be needed with actual hardware or simulation.
+
+## Adding New Tests
+
+To add new tests:
+
+1. Add new test functions to `main/test_main.c`
+2. Use the Unity assertion macros (TEST_ASSERT_*, etc.)
+3. Register the test with `RUN_TEST()` in the `app_main()` function
+4. Follow the naming convention: `test_<functionality>_<scenario>`
+
+Example:
+```c
+void test_new_feature_basic_functionality(void)
+{
+    dimmertyp *dimmer = createDimmer(TEST_TRIAC_GPIO, TEST_ZC_GPIO);
+    TEST_ASSERT_NOT_NULL(dimmer);
+    
+    // Your test code here
+}
+```
+
+Then add to `app_main()`:
+```c
+RUN_TEST(test_new_feature_basic_functionality);
+```

+```
+
+## Understanding Test Output
+
+### Successful Test Run
+
+```
+========================================
+ESP32 Dimmer Driver Unit Tests
+========================================
+
+Running test_createDimmer_returns_valid_pointer...
+PASS
+
+Running test_createDimmer_with_different_pins...
+PASS
+
+[... more tests ...]
+
+========================================
+All tests completed!
+========================================
+
+16 Tests 0 Failures 0 Ignored
+OK
+```
+
+### Failed Test Example
+
+If a test fails, you'll see:
+```
+Running test_setPower_getPower_normal_values...
+test_main.c:56:test_setPower_getPower_normal_values:FAIL: Expected 50 Was 0
+
+16 Tests 1 Failures 0 Ignored
+FAIL
+```
+
+## Writing New Tests
+
+### Test Function Template
+
+```c
+void test_your_feature_description(void)
+{
+    // 1. Setup - Create dimmer and initialize
+    dimmertyp *dimmer = createDimmer(TEST_TRIAC_GPIO, TEST_ZC_GPIO);
+    TEST_ASSERT_NOT_NULL(dimmer);
+    begin(dimmer, NORMAL_MODE, ON, 50);
+    
+    // 2. Execute - Perform the operation you're testing
+    setPower(dimmer, 42);
+    vTaskDelay(pdMS_TO_TICKS(10));
+    
+    // 3. Verify - Check the results
+    TEST_ASSERT_EQUAL(42, getPower(dimmer));
+    
+    // 4. Cleanup (if needed)
+    // Note: Library doesn't provide cleanup functions
+}
+```
+
+### Unity Assertion Macros
+
+Common assertions used in the tests:
+
+```c
+TEST_ASSERT_TRUE(condition)           // Verify condition is true
+TEST_ASSERT_FALSE(condition)          // Verify condition is false
+TEST_ASSERT_EQUAL(expected, actual)   // Verify values are equal
+TEST_ASSERT_NOT_EQUAL(val1, val2)     // Verify values are different
+TEST_ASSERT_NULL(pointer)             // Verify pointer is NULL
+TEST_ASSERT_NOT_NULL(pointer)         // Verify pointer is not NULL
+TEST_ASSERT_EQUAL_INT(exp, act)       // Compare integers
+TEST_ASSERT_GREATER_THAN(threshold, actual) // Verify actual > threshold
+TEST_ASSERT_LESS_THAN(threshold, actual)    // Verify actual < threshold
+```
+
+### Adding a New Test
+
+1. Add test function to `test_app/main/test_main.c`:
+   ```c
+   void test_my_new_feature(void)
+   {
+       // Your test code here
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. Register it in `app_main()`:
+   ```c
+   void app_main(void)
+   {
+       UNITY_BEGIN();
+       
+       // Existing tests...
+       RUN_TEST(test_my_new_feature);  // Add this line
+       
+       UNITY_END();
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. Rebuild and test:
+   ```bash
+   idf.py build flash monitor
+   ```
+
+## Test Best Practices
+
+### 1. Test Independence
+Each test should be independent and not rely on state from other tests.
+
+### 2. Descriptive Names
+Use clear, descriptive test names: `test_<component>_<scenario>`
+- Good: `test_setPower_boundary_values`
+- Bad: `test_power_1`
+
+### 3. Test One Thing
+Each test should verify one specific behavior.
+
+### 4. Use Delays
+When testing asynchronous operations, add small delays:
+```c
+setPower(dimmer, 50);
+vTaskDelay(pdMS_TO_TICKS(10)); // Allow setting to take effect
+TEST_ASSERT_EQUAL(50, getPower(dimmer));
+```
+
+### 5. Document Edge Cases
+Add comments for non-obvious test cases:
+```c
+// Test that power values above 99 are clamped to 99
+setPower(dimmer, 150);
+TEST_ASSERT_EQUAL(99, getPower(dimmer));
+```
+
+## Continuous Integration
+
+### GitHub Actions Example
+
+Create `.github/workflows/test.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+name: ESP32 Dimmer Tests
+
+on: [push, pull_request]
+
+jobs:
+  test:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
+      - name: Setup ESP-IDF
+        uses: espressif/esp-idf-ci-action@v1
+        with:
+          esp_idf_version: v5.0
+          target: esp32
+      - name: Build Tests
+        run: |
+          cd test_app
+          idf.py build
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Build Errors
+
+**Error: "No such file or directory" for esp32-triac-dimmer-driver.h**
+- Solution: Ensure EXTRA_COMPONENT_DIRS is set correctly in test_app/CMakeLists.txt
+
+**Error: "undefined reference to unity_*"**
+- Solution: Ensure unity is in the REQUIRES list in main/CMakeLists.txt
+
+### Runtime Issues
+
+**Tests fail to start**
+- Check serial port permissions: `sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER`
+- Verify correct serial port: `ls /dev/tty*`
+
+**Random test failures**
+- Hardware interference - ensure stable power supply
+- Increase delay times in tests
+- Check for race conditions in test logic
+
+### Memory Issues
+
+**Stack overflow in tests**
+- Increase CONFIG_ESP_MAIN_TASK_STACK_SIZE in sdkconfig.defaults
+
+**Heap allocation failures**
+- Tests may exceed ALL_DIMMERS limit (50)
+- Reset the board between test runs
+
+## Hardware Validation Testing
+
+While unit tests validate software behavior, hardware testing validates actual dimmer operation:
+
+### Setup for Hardware Tests
+1. Connect zero-crossing detector to GPIO_NUM_21
+2. Connect TRIAC outputs to GPIO_NUM_22 and GPIO_NUM_23
+3. Connect dimmable AC load (e.g., incandescent bulb)
+4. Use oscilloscope to monitor TRIAC firing pulses
+
+### Safety Warnings
+⚠️ **AC VOLTAGE HAZARD** ⚠️
+- Only qualified personnel should work with AC circuits
+- Ensure proper isolation and grounding
+- Use current-limited test circuits
+- Never touch circuits while powered
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Potential areas for test expansion:
+
+1. **Performance Tests**
+   - Measure ISR timing
+   - Verify zero-crossing detection accuracy
+   - Test rapid power changes
+
+2. **Stress Tests**
+   - Maximum dimmer count (50 dimmers)
+   - Continuous operation for extended periods
+   - Rapid state/mode changes
+
+3. **Hardware-in-the-Loop Tests**
+   - Actual zero-crossing signal simulation
+   - TRIAC timing verification
+   - Multi-frequency testing (50Hz/60Hz)
+
+4. **Error Handling Tests**
+   - Invalid GPIO pins
+   - Null pointer handling
+   - Resource exhaustion scenarios

-4. **Hardware independence**: These tests focus on the software logic and can run without actual dimmer hardware connected. They test the API layer and state management.
+4. **Hardware independence**: These tests include both API-level tests (hardware-independent) and GPIO/timer tests that verify the dimmer output behavior. The GPIO/timer tests simulate zero-crossing events and verify output pin timing, providing confidence in the core dimmer logic.
 
 ## Limitations
 
-- These tests do not verify actual hardware functionality (zero-crossing detection, TRIAC firing)
-- ISR behavior is not directly tested (requires hardware/simulation)
-- Timing-critical code paths are not fully tested without hardware
+- GPIO timing tests verify the mechanism is working but cannot precisely measure microsecond-level timing without specialized hardware
+- Actual TRIAC firing with AC loads requires hardware validation
+- Full zero-crossing detector integration requires real AC signal input
 
-For hardware integration testing, additional tests would be needed with actual hardware or simulation.
+For complete hardware integration testing, additional tests with actual hardware, oscilloscope verification, and AC loads are recommended.
