+# Repository Testing
+
+This document describes the testing infrastructure for the repository implementation in the IPS project.
+
+## Overview
+
+The repository implementation is tested at two levels:
+
+1. **Unit Tests**: Tests for the individual components of the repository implementation, such as the FileBackend, CatalogManager, etc.
+2. **End-to-End Tests**: Tests for the complete workflow of creating a repository, adding packages, and querying the repository.
+
+## Test Setup
+
+Before running the tests, you need to set up the test environment by running the `setup_test_env.sh` script:
+
+```bash
+./setup_test_env.sh
+```
+
+This script:
+1. Compiles the application
+2. Creates a prototype directory with example files
+3. Creates package manifests for testing
+
+## Unit Tests
+
+The unit tests are implemented in `libips/src/repository/tests.rs`. These tests cover:
+
+- Creating a repository
+- Adding a publisher
+- Testing the CatalogManager functionality
+- Publishing files to a repository
+- Listing packages in a repository
+- Showing package contents
+- Searching for packages
+
+To run the unit tests:
+
+```bash
+cargo test repository::tests
+```
+
+**Note**: Some of the unit tests are currently failing due to issues with how packages are created and queried. These issues need to be addressed in future work.
+
+## End-to-End Tests
+
+The end-to-end tests are implemented in `pkg6repo/src/e2e_tests.rs`. These tests use the actual command-line tools to test the complete workflow:
+
+- Creating a repository using pkg6repo
+- Adding a publisher to a repository
+- Publishing a package to a repository using pkg6dev
+- Showing package contents
+- Publishing multiple packages
+
+To run the end-to-end tests:
+
+```bash
+cargo test -p pkg6repo
+```
+
+**Note**: The end-to-end tests are currently failing due to a conflict with the argument name 'version' in the pkg6repo command-line interface. This issue needs to be addressed in future work.
+
+## Future Work
+
+1. Fix the unit tests to properly create and query packages
+2. Fix the conflict with the argument name 'version' in the pkg6repo command-line interface
+3. Add more comprehensive tests for edge cases and error conditions
+4. Add tests for the RestBackend implementation
+5. Add tests for the repository search functionality
