# Park Search Testing Implementation

## Test Structure

### 1. Model Tests (parks/tests/test_models.py)

#### Park Model Tests
- Basic CRUD Operations
  * Creation with required fields
  * Update operations
  * Deletion and cascading
  * Validation rules

- Slug Operations
  * Auto-generation on creation
  * Historical slug tracking and lookup (via HistoricalSlug model)
  * pghistory integration for model tracking
  * Uniqueness constraints
  * Fallback lookup strategies

- Location Integration
  * Formatted location string
  * Coordinates retrieval
  * Location relationship integrity

- Status Management
  * Default status
  * Status color mapping
  * Status transitions

- Property Methods
  * formatted_location
  * coordinates
  * get_status_color

### 2. Filter Tests (parks/tests/test_filters.py)

#### Search Functionality
- Text Search Fields
  * Name searching
  * Description searching
  * Location field searching (city, state, country)
  * Combined field searching

#### Filter Operations
- Status Filtering
  * Each status value
  * Empty/null handling
  * Invalid status values

- Date Range Filtering
  * Opening date ranges
  * Invalid date formats
  * Edge cases (future dates, very old dates)

- Company/Owner Filtering
  * Existing company
  * No owner (null)
  * Invalid company IDs

- Numeric Filtering
  * Minimum rides count
  * Minimum coasters count
  * Minimum size validation
  * Negative value handling

#### Mixin Integration
- LocationFilterMixin
  * Distance-based filtering
  * Location search functionality

- RatingFilterMixin
  * Rating range filtering
  * Invalid rating values

- DateRangeFilterMixin
  * Date range application
  * Invalid date handling

## Implementation Status

### Running the Tests

To run the test suite:
```bash
python manage.py test parks.tests
```

To run specific test classes:
```bash
python manage.py test parks.tests.test_models.ParkModelTests
python manage.py test parks.tests.test_filters.ParkFilterTests
```
