from .models import Annotation
from rest_framework.test import APIClient
from rest_framework import status
class AnnotationTestCase(TestCase):
def setUp(self):
self.user = User.objects.create_user(username='testuser', password='testpass')
self.client = APIClient()
self.client.login(username='testuser', password='testpass')
def test_annotation_creation(self):
response = self.client.post('/api/annotations/', {'user': self.user.id, 'data': {'key': 'value'}})
self.assertEqual(response.status_code, status.HTTP_201_CREATED)
self.assertEqual(Annotation.objects.count(), 1)
self.assertEqual(Annotation.objects.get().data, {'key': 'value'})
```

import React from 'react';
import { render, screen } from '@testing-library/react';
import AnnotationTool from './AnnotationTool';
test('renders AnnotationTool component', () => {
render();
const linkElement = screen.getByText(/RLHF-Lab Data Annotation Platform/i);
expect(linkElement).toBeInTheDocument();
});
```
- **Run Tests**
```bash
npm test
```
### 9.2 Performance Testing

class UserBehavior(TaskSet):
@task
def get_annotations(self):
self.client.get("/api/annotations/")
@task
def post_annotation(self):
self.client.post("/api/annotations/", {"user": 1, "data": {"key": "value"}})
class WebsiteUser(HttpUser):
tasks = [UserBehavior]
min_wait = 5000
max_wait = 15000
```
- **Run Locust**
```bash
locust
```
- **Access Locust UI**
