+# ttkode Tests
+
+This directory contains the test suite for the ttkode application.
+
+## Test Structure
+
+- **conftest.py** - Pytest configuration and fixtures
+- **test_plugin.py** - Tests for the plugin system (TTkodePlugin and related classes)
+- **test_config.py** - Tests for configuration management (TTKodeCfg)
+- **test_proxy.py** - Tests for proxy functionality (TTKodeViewerProxy, TTKodeProxy)
+- **test_search_file.py** - Tests for file search functionality
+- **test_helper.py** - Tests for helper functions (TTkodeHelper)
+
+## Running Tests
+
+### Run all tests
+
+```bash
+cd apps/ttkode
+pytest tests/
+```
+
+### Run specific test file
+
+```bash
+pytest tests/test_plugin.py
+pytest tests/test_config.py
+pytest tests/test_search_file.py
+```
+
+### Run with verbose output
+
+```bash
+pytest tests/ -v
+```
+
+### Run with coverage
+
+```bash
+pytest tests/ --cov=ttkode --cov-report=html
+```
+
+### Run specific test
+
+```bash
+pytest tests/test_plugin.py::TestTTkodePlugin::test_plugin_basic_creation
+```
+
+## Test Coverage
+
+The test suite covers:
+
+- **Plugin System**: Creation, registration, callbacks, widget management
+- **Configuration**: Default values, saving, loading, path management
+- **Proxy**: Viewer proxy functionality and file name management
+- **File Search**: Pattern matching, .gitignore support, directory walking
+- **Helpers**: Plugin loading and execution
+
+## Notes
+
+Some tests are marked as skipped (`@pytest.mark.skip`) because they require:
+- Full TTKode UI instance setup
+- Plugin folder and file system setup
+- Complex UI mocking infrastructure
+
+These integration tests can be completed when the UI testing infrastructure is available.
+
+## Requirements
+
+Tests require:
+- pytest
+- pyTermTk
+- Python 3.9+
+
+All dependencies are listed in the main `pyproject.toml` file.
