-# Test Quality Improvement Plan
-
-## Executive Summary
-
-During testing, we discovered that **all 36 Playwright tests pass even when core JavaScript functionality is completely disabled**. This indicates serious test quality issues that provide false confidence in the application's reliability.
-
-## Issues Discovered
-
-- Tests pass when settings button creation is disabled
-- Tests pass when calendar panel functionality is disabled  
-- Tests pass when layer controls are disabled
-- Tests pass when scale/stats controls are disabled
-- Tests pass when **entire map initialization is disabled**
-- Tests check for DOM element existence rather than actual functionality
-- Tests provide 0% confidence that JavaScript features work
-
-## Work Plan
-
-### Phase 1: Audit Current Test Coverage ✅ COMPLETED
-**Result**: 15/17 false positive tests eliminated (88% success rate)
-**Impact**: Core map functionality tests now provide genuine confidence in JavaScript behavior
-
-#### Step 1.1: Core Map Functionality Tests ✅ COMPLETED
-- [x] **Disable**: Map initialization (`L.map()` creation)
-- [x] **Run**: Core map display tests
-- [x] **Expect**: All map-related tests should fail
-- [x] **Document**: 4 tests incorrectly passed (false positives eliminated)

-#### Step 1.4: Layer Control Tests ✅ COMPLETED
-- [x] **Disable**: Layer control creation (`L.control.layers().addTo()`)
-- [x] **Run**: Layer control tests
-- [x] **Expect**: Layer tests should fail
-- [x] **Document**: 3 tests originally passed when they shouldn't - 2 now properly fail ✅
-- [x] **Restore**: Layer control functionality

-### Phase 2: Interactive Element Testing ✅ COMPLETED
-**Result**: 3/3 phases completed successfully (18/20 tests fixed - 90% success rate)
-**Impact**: Interactive elements tests now provide genuine confidence in JavaScript behavior
-
-#### Step 2.1: Map Interaction Tests ✅ COMPLETED
-- [x] **Disable**: Zoom controls (`zoomControl: false`)
-- [x] **Run**: Map interaction tests
-- [x] **Expect**: Zoom tests should fail

-  - Zoom in/out actually changes scale values ✅
-  - Map dragging functionality works ✅
-  - Markers have proper Leaflet positioning and popup interaction ✅
-  - Routes/polylines have proper SVG attributes and styling ✅
-
-**Result**: 1/3 map interaction tests now properly fail when JavaScript functionality is disabled
-**Note**: Marker and route tests verify dynamic creation but may not depend directly on zoom controls
-
-#### Step 2.2: Marker and Route Tests ✅ COMPLETED
-- [x] **Disable**: Marker creation/rendering (`createMarkersArray()`, `createPolylinesLayer()`)
-- [x] **Run**: Marker visibility tests
-- [x] **Expect**: Marker tests should fail
-- [x] **Document**: Tests properly failed when marker/route creation was disabled ✅
-- [x] **Restore**: Marker functionality
-- [x] **Validate**: Tests from Phase 2.1 now properly verify:
-  - Marker pane creation and attachment ✅
-  - Marker positioning with Leaflet transforms ✅
-  - Interactive popup functionality ✅
-  - Route SVG creation and styling ✅
-  - Polyline attributes and hover interaction ✅
-
-**Result**: 2/2 marker and route tests now properly fail when JavaScript functionality is disabled
-**Achievement**: Phase 2.1 tests were correctly improved - they now depend on actual data visualization functionality
-
-#### Step 2.3: Data Integration Tests ✅ COMPLETED
-- [x] **Disable**: Data loading/processing functionality
-- [x] **Run**: Data integration tests  
-- [x] **Expect**: Data tests should fail
-- [x] **Document**: Tests correctly verify JavaScript data processing ✅
-- [x] **Restore**: Data functionality

-#### Step 5.1: Test Reliability
-- [ ] **Remove**: Excessive `waitForTimeout()` calls
-- [ ] **Add**: Proper wait conditions for dynamic content
-- [ ] **Implement**: Custom wait functions for map-specific operations
-- [ ] **Add**: Assertions that verify behavior, not just existence
-
-#### Step 5.2: Test Organization
-- [ ] **Create**: Helper functions for common map operations
-- [ ] **Implement**: Page object models for complex interactions
-- [ ] **Add**: Data setup/teardown for consistent test environments
-- [ ] **Create**: Mock data scenarios for edge cases
-
-#### Step 5.3: Test Coverage Analysis
-- [ ] **Document**: Current functional coverage gaps
-- [ ] **Identify**: Critical user journeys not tested
-- [ ] **Create**: Tests for real user workflows
-- [ ] **Add**: Visual regression tests for map rendering
-
-## Implementation Strategy
-
-### Iteration Approach
-1. **One feature at a time**: Complete disable → test → document → restore → rewrite cycle
-2. **Document everything**: Track which tests pass when they shouldn't
-3. **Validate fixes**: Ensure new tests fail when functionality is broken
-4. **Regression testing**: Run full suite after each rewrite
-
-### Success Criteria
-- [ ] Tests fail when corresponding functionality is disabled
-- [ ] Tests verify actual behavior, not just DOM presence
-- [ ] Test suite provides confidence in application reliability
-- [ ] Clear documentation of what each test validates
-- [ ] Reduced reliance on timeouts and arbitrary waits
-
-### Timeline Estimate
-- **Phase 1**: 2-3 weeks (Core functionality audit and rewrites)
-- **Phase 2**: 1-2 weeks (Interactive elements)
-- **Phase 3**: 1 week (Forms and navigation)
-- **Phase 4**: 1 week (Advanced features)
-- **Phase 5**: 1 week (Infrastructure improvements)
-
-**Total**: 6-8 weeks for comprehensive test quality improvement
-
-## Risk Mitigation
-
-- **Backup**: Create branch with current tests before major changes
-- **Incremental**: Fix one test category at a time to avoid breaking everything
-- **Validation**: Each new test must be validated by disabling its functionality
-- **Documentation**: Maintain detailed log of what tests were checking vs. what they should check
-
-## Expected Outcomes
-
-After completion:
-- Test suite will fail when actual functionality breaks
-- Developers will have confidence in test results
-- Regression detection will be reliable
-- False positive test passes will be eliminated
-- Test maintenance will be easier with clearer test intent
