### 5. Implemented Tests ✅

#### T1.1: Interval Timer Automation
**File**: `e2e/tier1/test_t1_01_interval_timer.py`

Two test cases:
1. `test_interval_timer_creates_executions` - Main test
   - Creates 5-second interval timer
   - Verifies 3 executions in ~15 seconds
   - Checks timing precision (±1.5s tolerance)
   - Validates event → enforcement → execution flow

2. `test_interval_timer_precision` - Precision test
   - Tests 3-second interval over 5 fires
   - Calculates interval statistics (avg, min, max)
   - Verifies ±1 second precision

**Success Criteria**:
- ✅ Timer fires every N seconds with acceptable precision
- ✅ Each event creates enforcement and execution
- ✅ All executions succeed
- ✅ No service errors

#### T1.2: Date Timer (One-Shot Execution)
**File**: `e2e/tier1/test_t1_02_date_timer.py`

Three test cases:
1. `test_date_timer_fires_once` - Main test
   - Schedules timer 5 seconds in future
   - Verifies fires exactly once
   - Checks timing precision (±2s tolerance)
   - Waits additional 10s to verify no duplicate fires

2. `test_date_timer_past_date` - Edge case
   - Creates timer with past date
   - Verifies either fires immediately OR fails gracefully
   - Ensures one-shot behavior

3. `test_date_timer_far_future` - Edge case
   - Creates timer 1 hour in future
   - Verifies doesn't fire prematurely
   - Validates sensor correctly waits

**Success Criteria**:
- ✅ Timer fires once at scheduled time
- ✅ Exactly 1 event and 1 execution
- ✅ No duplicate fires
- ✅ Past dates handled gracefully

#### T1.4: Webhook Trigger with Payload
**File**: `e2e/tier1/test_t1_04_webhook_trigger.py`

Four test cases:
1. `test_webhook_trigger_with_payload` - Main test
   - Creates webhook trigger
   - POSTs JSON payload
   - Verifies event payload matches POST body
   - Validates execution receives webhook data

2. `test_multiple_webhook_posts` - Multiple invocations
   - Fires webhook 3 times
   - Verifies 3 events and 3 executions
   - Validates all complete successfully

3. `test_webhook_with_complex_payload` - Nested data
   - POSTs complex nested JSON structure
   - Verifies structure preserved in event
   - Validates nested path access

4. `test_webhook_without_payload` - Empty payload
   - Fires webhook with empty body
   - Verifies system handles gracefully

**Success Criteria**:
- ✅ Webhook POST creates event immediately
- ✅ Event payload matches POST body
- ✅ Execution receives webhook data
- ✅ Nested JSON structures preserved

## Testing Best Practices Established

1. **Test Isolation**:
   - Each test creates unique resources
   - No shared state between tests
   - `unique_ref()` prevents naming conflicts

2. **Clear Test Structure**:
   - Descriptive test names
   - Step-by-step execution
   - Print statements for debugging
   - Summary at end of test

3. **Robust Waiting**:
   - Polling with timeouts
   - Configurable intervals
   - Clear timeout errors
   - Multiple wait strategies

4. **Comprehensive Assertions**:
   - Verify all success criteria
   - Check intermediate states
   - Validate timing/precision
   - Test edge cases

5. **Good Documentation**:
   - Docstrings on all tests
   - Quick start guide
   - Troubleshooting section
   - Example outputs

---

## Known Limitations

1. **Service Dependency**: Tests require all 5 services running
   - Could add service availability checks
   - Could implement service mocking for unit tests

2. **Timing Sensitivity**: Timer tests sensitive to system load
   - Have tolerance built in (±1-2 seconds)
   - May be flaky on heavily loaded systems

3. **Cleanup**: Tests don't clean up created resources
   - Could add automatic cleanup in teardown
   - Could use test database that gets reset

4. **Parallel Execution**: Tests not designed for parallel runs
   - Use unique references to enable parallelism
   - Could add pytest-xdist support

---
