#### **Management Operations:**
- [ ] `clear()` - Clear all data
- [ ] `size()` - Get total count

## 🛠️ **MEMORY-EFFICIENT TESTING STRATEGIES**

### **📊 Industry Standard Approaches:**

#### **1. Test Categorization:**
```typescript
// Unit Tests - Fast, isolated
describe('Unit Tests', () => {
  // Mock dependencies, test logic only
  // Memory: <50MB, Time: <5s
})

// Integration Tests - Medium, real components  
describe('Integration Tests', () => {
  // Real augmentations, mocked storage
  // Memory: <200MB, Time: <30s
})

// E2E Tests - Slow, full system
describe('E2E Tests', () => {
  // Full system, real storage
  // Memory: <1GB, Time: <5min
})
```

#### **2. Memory Management:**
```typescript
// Resource cleanup patterns
afterEach(async () => {
  await brain?.cleanup()
  brain = null
  if (global.gc) global.gc() // Force cleanup
})

// Limited dataset sizes
const createTestData = (size = 10) => { // Not 10,000!
  return Array.from({ length: size }, createSmallVector)
}
```

#### **3. Mock Strategies:**
```typescript
// Mock heavy operations
vi.mock('./utils/embedding.js', () => ({
  createEmbeddingFunction: () => vi.fn().mockResolvedValue(mockVector)
}))

// Mock storage for performance tests
const mockStorage = {
  read: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue(testData),
  write: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue(true)
}
```

#### **4. Parallel Test Execution:**
```typescript
// vitest.config.ts
export default {
  test: {
    pool: 'forks',        // Isolate tests
    poolOptions: {
      forks: {
        singleFork: true  // Prevent memory accumulation
      }
    },
    testTimeout: 30000,   // 30s max per test
    hookTimeout: 10000    // 10s max for setup/cleanup
  }
}
```

### **🚀 Fast & Reliable Testing Patterns:**

#### **Memory-Efficient Patterns:**
```typescript
// 1. Small datasets
const SMALL_VECTOR_SIZE = 10  // Not 384 for unit tests
const TEST_DATA_SIZE = 5      // Not 1000s of items

// 2. Deterministic mocks
const mockEmbedding = [0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5] // Predictable

// 3. Scoped tests
describe('Search Functionality', () => {
  const brain = new BrainyData({ 
    storage: 'memory',           // No disk I/O
    dimensions: 5,               // Tiny vectors
    maxConnections: 4            // Minimal graph
  })
})
```

#### **Performance Test Patterns:**
```typescript
// Measure operations, not full datasets
it('should handle batch operations efficiently', async () => {
  const start = performance.now()
  
  // Test with 10 items, not 10,000
  await brain.addBatch(createTestBatch(10))
  
  const duration = performance.now() - start
  expect(duration).toBeLessThan(1000) // 1s max
})
```
