 **Dev helpers:** `GET /api/dev/test-login` — creates a test admin user and sets auth cookie (dev only, blocked in production). Navigate to this URL to access admin pages during development.
 
-No test framework is currently configured.
+**Testing:** Vitest for unit/handler tests (`tests/`), Playwright for E2E (`e2e/`). Husky pre-push hook runs Vitest. See `TESTING.md` for details.

+# Testing
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+```bash
+npm test              # Vitest watch mode
+npm run test:run      # Vitest single run (used by pre-push hook)
+npm run test:e2e      # Playwright E2E tests
+npm run test:e2e:ui   # Playwright with interactive UI
+npm run test:a11y     # Accessibility scans (axe-core)
+npm run test:visual   # Visual regression screenshots
+npm run test:all      # Vitest + Playwright together
+```
+
+## Vitest (Unit / Handler Tests)
+
+Tests live in `tests/` mirroring the source structure. Two vitest projects:
+
+- **server** (`tests/server/`) — Node environment, `setup.js` stubs Nitro auto-imports
+- **client** (`tests/client/`) — jsdom environment for composables
+
+### Test patterns
+
+**Behavioral tests** mock models/services with `vi.mock()`, import the handler, and call it with `createMockEvent()`:
+
+```js
+vi.mock('../../../server/models/member.js', () => ({ default: { findOne: vi.fn() } }))
+import handler from '../../../server/api/some/route.js'
+import { createMockEvent } from '../helpers/createMockEvent.js'
+```
+
+**Source inspection tests** use `readFileSync` to verify structural properties (auth guards, import order) without executing handlers.
+
+### Nitro auto-imports in tests
+
+Handlers use Nitro auto-imports for `requireAuth`, `requireAdmin`, `validateBody`, and schemas. These are stubbed as globals in `tests/server/setup.js`. Individual tests can configure their behavior with `.mockResolvedValue()` etc.
+
+## Playwright (E2E Tests)
+
+Tests live in `e2e/`. Requires a running dev server and MongoDB.
+
+### Auth helpers
+
+`e2e/helpers/auth.js` provides `loginAsAdmin(page)` and `loginAsMember(page, email)` using the dev login endpoints. These set real JWT cookies.
+
+`e2e/helpers/fixtures.js` extends Playwright's `test` with `adminPage` and `memberPage` fixtures.
+
+### Running locally
+
+```bash
+# Start dev server (Playwright config does this automatically)
+npm run dev
+
+# Run tests
+npm run test:e2e
+
+# Interactive mode
+npm run test:e2e:ui
+```
+
+### Visual regression
+
+Baselines stored in `e2e/__screenshots__/`. Generate or update:
+
+```bash
+npm run test:visual:update
+```
+
+Note: Linux CI and macOS local produce different renders. Generate baselines in CI with `--update-snapshots`, then commit.
+
+## Pre-Push Hook
+
+Husky runs `npm run test:run` (Vitest only) before `git push`. All mocked, runs in ~1s. Playwright is not included — too slow and requires MongoDB.
+
+## CI (GitHub Actions)
+
+`.github/workflows/test.yml` defines three jobs:
+
+1. **vitest** — runs on every push/PR to main
+2. **playwright** — runs after vitest passes, uses MongoDB service container
+3. **visual** — runs after vitest, `continue-on-error: true` during stabilization
+
+CI uses dummy secrets (`JWT_SECRET: ci-test-jwt-secret`). No real Helcim/Resend/Slack tokens — those paths are mocked at Vitest level, and E2E skips the Helcim iframe.
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+- **Helcim iframe** — cannot be tested in E2E (cross-origin). Payment flows are tested at the Vitest handler level. E2E tests stop before the iframe opens.
+- **Email delivery** — mocked at Vitest level. E2E verifies form submission, not actual email.
+- **Slack invitations** — mocked at Vitest level.
+- **Visual baseline OS drift** — generate baselines in CI, not locally.
