Implement a Comprehensive Test Suite

[mohitahlawat2001]

Problem:
The project currently has no automated tests, which makes it risky to add new features or refactor existing code. The test script in package.json is a placeholder.

Suggestion:
Introduce a testing framework like Jest or Mocha/Chai. Start by adding unit tests for utility functions (e.g., in utils/postHelpers.js) and model validations. Then, write integration tests for the API endpoints to ensure they behave as expected. This will improve code quality and developer confidence.

Proposed Steps:

1. Choose and set up a testing framework (e.g., Jest, Mocha/Chai).
2. Add initial unit tests for utility functions in utils/postHelpers.js.
3. Write tests for model validation logic.
4. Create integration tests for key API endpoints.
5. Update documentation to describe how to run tests.

Benefits:

• Safer development and refactoring
• Faster detection of bugs
• Increased developer confidence
