 ## How it works
 `SQLiteVecClient` stores data in `{table}` and mirrors embeddings in `{table}_vec` (a `vec0` virtual table). SQLite triggers keep both in sync when rows are inserted, updated, or deleted. Embeddings are serialized as packed float32 bytes for compact storage.
 
+## Testing
+
+The project has comprehensive test coverage (91%+) with 75 tests covering:
+- Unit tests for utilities and validation
+- Integration tests for all client operations
+- Security tests for SQL injection prevention
+- Edge cases and error handling
+
+See [TESTING.md](TESTING.md) for detailed testing documentation.

+# Testing Guide
+
+This document provides comprehensive information about testing sqlite-vec-client.
+
+## Test Structure
+
+```
+tests/
+├── __init__.py           # Test package initialization
+├── conftest.py           # Pytest fixtures and configuration
+├── test_utils.py         # Unit tests for utility functions
+├── test_validation.py    # Unit tests for validation functions
+├── test_security.py      # Security tests (SQL injection, validation)
+└── test_client.py        # Integration tests for SQLiteVecClient
+```
+
+## Test Categories
+
+### Unit Tests
+Tests for individual functions and modules in isolation.
+
+**Markers:** `@pytest.mark.unit`
+
+**Files:**
+- `test_utils.py` - Tests for serialization/deserialization functions
+- `test_validation.py` - Tests for input validation functions
+- `test_security.py` - Security tests for SQL injection prevention and input validation
+
+**Run unit tests only:**
+```bash
+pytest -m unit
+```
+
+### Integration Tests
+Tests for complete workflows and client operations.
+
+**Markers:** `@pytest.mark.integration`
+
+**Files:**
+- `test_client.py` - Tests for SQLiteVecClient methods
+
+**Run integration tests only:**
+```bash
+pytest -m integration
+```
+
+## Fixtures
+
+Common fixtures available in `conftest.py`:
+
+- **temp_db**: Provides a temporary database file path
+- **client**: Provides a SQLiteVecClient instance with temp database
+- **client_with_table**: Provides a client with table already created (dim=3)
+- **sample_embeddings**: 3D sample embeddings for testing
+- **sample_texts**: Sample text strings
+- **sample_metadata**: Sample metadata dictionaries
+
+**Example usage:**
+```python
+def test_example(client_with_table, sample_texts, sample_embeddings):
+    rowids = client_with_table.add(texts=sample_texts, embeddings=sample_embeddings)
+    assert len(rowids) == 3
+```
+
+## Running Tests
+
+### Basic Commands
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+pytest
+
+# Run with verbose output
+pytest -v
+
+# Run specific test file
+pytest tests/test_client.py
+
+# Run specific test class
+pytest tests/test_client.py::TestAddRecords
+
+# Run specific test method
+pytest tests/test_client.py::TestAddRecords::test_add_single_record
+```
+
+### Coverage Reports
+
+```bash
+# Run with coverage (terminal output)
+pytest --cov=sqlite_vec_client
+
+# Generate HTML coverage report
+pytest --cov=sqlite_vec_client --cov-report=html
+
+# Generate XML coverage report (for CI)
+pytest --cov=sqlite_vec_client --cov-report=xml
+
+# Show missing lines
+pytest --cov=sqlite_vec_client --cov-report=term-missing
+```
+
+View HTML coverage report:
+```bash
+# Open htmlcov/index.html in your browser
+```
+
+### Test Markers
+
+```bash
+# Run only unit tests
+pytest -m unit
+
+# Run only integration tests
+pytest -m integration
+
+# Run slow tests
+pytest -m slow
+
+# Exclude slow tests
+pytest -m "not slow"
+```
+
+## Writing Tests
+
+### Test Naming Convention
+
+- Test files: `test_*.py`
+- Test classes: `Test*`
+- Test functions: `test_*`
+
+### Example Test
+
+```python
+import pytest
+from sqlite_vec_client import SQLiteVecClient
+
+@pytest.mark.integration
+class TestMyFeature:
+    """Tests for my feature."""
+
+    def test_basic_functionality(self, client_with_table):
+        """Test basic functionality."""
+        # Arrange
+        texts = ["test"]
+        embeddings = [[1.0, 2.0, 3.0]]
+
+        # Act
+        rowids = client_with_table.add(texts=texts, embeddings=embeddings)
+
+        # Assert
+        assert len(rowids) == 1
+        assert client_with_table.count() == 1
+```
+
+### Testing Exceptions
+
+```python
+def test_invalid_input(self, client):
+    """Test that invalid input raises error."""
+    with pytest.raises(ValidationError, match="positive integer"):
+        client.create_table(dim=0)
+```
+
+## Coverage Goals
+
+- **Target:** 80%+ overall coverage
+- **Current:** 91% coverage
+- **Critical paths:** 100% coverage for validation and security functions
+
+## Continuous Integration
+
+Tests are automatically run on:
+- Every commit (via pre-commit hooks)
+- Pull requests (via GitHub Actions)
+- Before releases
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**Issue:** Tests fail with "no such table" error
+```
+Solution: Ensure client_with_table fixture is used for tests requiring a table
+```
+
+**Issue:** Coverage report not generated
+```
+Solution: Install pytest-cov: pip install pytest-cov
+```
+
+**Issue:** Tests hang or timeout
+```
+Solution: Check for unclosed database connections, use fixtures properly
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use fixtures** for common setup/teardown
+2. **Test one thing** per test function
+3. **Use descriptive names** for test functions
+4. **Add docstrings** to explain what is being tested
+5. **Test edge cases** (empty lists, None values, invalid inputs)
+6. **Clean up resources** (fixtures handle this automatically)
+7. **Mock external dependencies** when appropriate
+
+## Performance Testing
+
+For performance-critical operations, use the `@pytest.mark.slow` marker:
+
+```python
+@pytest.mark.slow
+def test_large_batch_insert(client_with_table):
+    """Test inserting 10,000 records."""
+    texts = [f"text_{i}" for i in range(10000)]
+    embeddings = [[0.1, 0.2, 0.3] for _ in range(10000)]
+    rowids = client_with_table.add(texts=texts, embeddings=embeddings)
+    assert len(rowids) == 10000
+```
+
+Run without slow tests:
+```bash
+pytest -m "not slow"
+```
