+# CI Test Improvement Plan
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This document outlines the comprehensive plan to enable test failures in CI and ensure all aspects of aubio are properly tested. Currently, tests are forced to pass using `|| true` in the CI configuration, masking 13-31 test failures that need to be addressed before enforcement can be enabled.
+
+## Current Test Failure Status
+
+### Confirmed Failures (as seen in CI logs)
+
+**Total**: 13-31 failures out of 1040 tests (varies by platform)
+**Pass Rate**: ~97-98% when failures are hidden by `|| true`
+
+#### Category 1: Resampling Tests (30 failures)
+- **Location**: `python/tests/test_source.py`
+- **Tests**: `test_samplerate_hopsize` for both `Test_aubio_source_read` and `Test_aubio_source_readmulti`
+- **Root Cause**: libsamplerate dependency missing or not linked properly
+- **Symptom**: Tests expect `UserWarning` but get `RuntimeError` instead
+
+**Example Failure**:
+```
+RuntimeError: AUBIO ERROR: source_wavread: can not resample /project/python/tests/sounds/8000Hz_30s_silence.wav from 8000 to 44100Hz
+
+Expected: UserWarning when upsampling
+Actual: RuntimeError because libsamplerate not available
+```
+
+#### Category 2: Numerical Precision (1 failure)
+- **Location**: `python/tests/test_specdesc.py`
+- **Test**: `aubio_specdesc::test_rolloff`
+- **Root Cause**: Floating-point precision difference  
+- **Details**:
+  - Expected: 324.0
+  - Actual: 325
+  - Relative error: 0.31%
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+### Issue #1: libsamplerate Dependency
+
+**Problem**: libsamplerate is declared in `vcpkg.json` but not being found during build.
+
+**Evidence**:
+1. `vcpkg.json` line 13 declares `"libsamplerate"`
+2. `meson.build` lines 492-504 attempt to find it via pkg-config and vcpkg
+3. Tests fail with "can not resample" error
+4. CI logs show vcpkg installing dependencies but libsamplerate linkage unclear
+
+**Why This Matters**:
+- Resampling is a core aubio feature for real-time audio processing
+- 30 tests (2.9% of test suite) verify this functionality
+- Production code cannot handle audio at different sample rates without it
+
+**Platform Status**:
+- ✗ Linux (manylinux): Not working
+- ? macOS: Unknown (caching may hide issue)
+- ? Windows: Unknown (dynamic linking complexity)
+
+### Issue #2: Spectral Rolloff Precision
+
+**Problem**: C implementation differs from Python reference by 1 bin.
+
+**Analysis**:
+The Python test calculates rolloff as:
+```python
+cumsum = 0.95 * sum(a*a)  # 95% threshold
+i = 0; rollsum = 0
+while rollsum < cumsum:
+    rollsum += a[i]*a[i]
+    i += 1
+rolloff = i  # Expects 324
+```
+
+C implementation returns 325 (off by one).
+
+**Possible Causes**:
+1. Different loop termination condition (< vs <=)
+2. Floating-point accumulation differences
+3. Compiler optimization affecting comparison order
+4. Security hardening flags affecting FP operations (`-O2 -fstack-protector-strong`)
+
+**Impact**: Minimal - 0.3% error in non-critical metric acceptable for audio analysis
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Fix libsamplerate Dependency (REQUIRED)
+
+**Goal**: Ensure libsamplerate is properly linked in all platforms
+
+**Tasks**:
+1. **Verify vcpkg installation** (Linux)
+   ```bash
+   # In CI before-all, add debug output:
+   ls -la {project}/vcpkg_installed/*/lib/*samplerate*
+   ls -la {project}/vcpkg_installed/*/lib/pkgconfig/samplerate.pc
+   ```
+
+2. **Check meson dependency detection**
+   ```bash
+   # After meson setup, check config:
+   cat builddir/meson-logs/meson-log.txt | grep -i samplerate
+   ```
+
+3. **Possible Fixes**:
+   - **Option A**: Explicit vcpkg triplet in meson.build
+     ```meson
+     if vcpkg_found and not samplerate_dep.found()
+       samplerate_dep = cc.find_library('samplerate',
+         dirs: vcpkg_library_dirs,
+         required: samplerate_opt)
+     endif
+     ```
+
+   - **Option B**: Force enable in CI
+     ```yaml
+     # In pyproject.toml [tool.cibuildwheel]
+     environment = { MESON_ARGS = "-Dsamplerate=enabled" }
+     ```
+
+   - **Option C**: Check pkg-config paths
+     ```bash
+     # Verify PKG_CONFIG_PATH includes vcpkg directories
+     pkg-config --list-all | grep samplerate
+     ```
+
+4. **Verification**:
+   ```bash
+   # After build, check if linked:
+   ldd builddir/python/_aubio.so | grep samplerate
+   # Or on macOS/Windows equivalent
+   ```
+
+**Success Criteria**: All 30 resampling tests pass
+
+### Phase 2: Address Rolloff Precision (OPTIONAL)
+
+**Options**:
+
+**Option A: Accept tolerance** (RECOMMENDED)
+```python
+# In test_specdesc.py line 218:
+assert_almost_equal(rolloff, o(c), decimal=0)  # Allow ±1
+# Or:
+assert abs(rolloff - o(c)) <= 1, f"Rolloff {o(c)} not within ±1 of {rolloff}"
+```
+
+**Option B: Fix C implementation**
+- Investigate `src/spectral/specdesc.c` rolloff calculation
+- Align with Python reference implementation
+- Risk: May introduce other precision issues
+
+**Option C: Mark as known issue**
+```python
+@pytest.mark.xfail(reason="Known FP precision issue, ±1 bin acceptable")
+def test_rolloff(self):
+    ...
+```
+
+**Recommendation**: Option A (tolerance). The 0.3% error is acceptable for audio DSP.
+
+### Phase 3: Remove `|| true` from CI
+
+**File**: `pyproject.toml` line 57
+
+**Current**:
+```toml
+test-command = "python -c \"import aubio; ...\" && pytest {project}/python/tests || true"
+```
+
+**Proposed**:
+```toml
+test-command = "python -c \"import aubio; print('aubio version:', aubio.version); print('Portable wheel test: PASS')\" && pytest {project}/python/tests -v --tb=short"
+```
+
+**Rollout Strategy**:
+1. Fix libsamplerate (Phase 1)
+2. Fix or accept rolloff (Phase 2)  
+3. Verify all tests pass locally
+4. Test on single platform first (e.g., ubuntu-latest)
+5. Enable for all platforms
+6. Monitor first few CI runs closely
+
+**Benefits**:
+- Catch regressions immediately
+- Prevent broken code from being merged
+- Increase confidence in releases
+
+### Phase 4: Expand Test Coverage (FUTURE)
+
+**Areas Currently Not Tested in CI**:
+
+1. **C Library Tests** (`tests/` directory)
+   - Currently only Python tests run in CI
+   - Meson option `-Dtests=true` exists but not used
+   - Add to workflow:
+     ```yaml
+     - name: Run C tests
+       run: |
+         meson setup builddir -Dtests=true
+         meson test -C builddir -v
+     ```
+
+2. **Memory Safety**
+   - Run tests under AddressSanitizer
+   - Run tests under Valgrind (Linux)
+   - Verify no leaks or buffer overflows
+
+3. **Platform-Specific Code Paths**
+   - CoreAudio on macOS
+   - DirectSound on Windows  
+   - Ensure platform backends are tested
+
+4. **Dependency Combinations**
+   - Test with/without optional dependencies
+   - Rubberband, ffmpeg, etc.
+
+5. **Performance Benchmarks**
+   - Track FFT performance over time
+   - Ensure optimizations don't regress
+   - Document baseline metrics
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Before Enabling Failures
+
+1. **Local Testing**:
+   ```bash
+   # Install with vcpkg locally:
+   meson setup builddir
+   meson compile -C builddir
+   meson test -C builddir
+
+   # Python tests:
+   pip install -e . --no-build-isolation
+   pytest python/tests -v
+   ```
+
+2. **CI Dry Run**:
+   - Temporarily add step to show test results without failing:
+     ```yaml
+     - name: Test wheels (dry run)
+       continue-on-error: true
+       run: |
+         # ... existing test command without || true
+     ```
+   - Review logs for unexpected failures
+
+3. **Platform-by-Platform**:
+   - Start with Linux (most stable)
+   - Then macOS (caching complexity)
+   - Finally Windows (DLL bundling issues)
+
+### After Enabling
+
+1. **Monitor First Week**:
+   - Watch for intermittent failures
+   - Document any new issues
+   - Be ready to add retries if flaky
+
+2. **Failure Response**:
+   - Investigate immediately  
+   - Don't merge until fixed
+   - Document workarounds if needed
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+- [ ] 100% of tests pass on all platforms
+- [ ] CI fails when tests fail (no `|| true`)
+- [ ] Zero false positives (flaky tests)  
+- [ ] C tests also running in CI
+- [ ] Memory safety verified
+- [ ] Documentation updated
+
+## Timeline Estimate
+
+- **Phase 1** (libsamplerate fix): 2-4 hours
+  - 1h investigation
+  - 1h implementation
+  - 1h testing
+  - 1h CI verification
+
+- **Phase 2** (rolloff fix): 0.5-1 hour
+  - Simple test tolerance adjustment
+
+- **Phase 3** (enable failures): 0.5 hour
+  - Remove `|| true`
+  - Monitor first CI run
+
+- **Phase 4** (expand coverage): 8-16 hours
+  - Depends on scope
+  - Can be done incrementally
+
+**Total for Phases 1-3**: ~4-6 hours
+
+## Risks & Mitigations
+
+| Risk | Impact | Mitigation |
+|------|--------|------------|
+| libsamplerate still not linking | High | Fall back to skipping resampling tests with `@pytest.mark.skipif` |
+| Tests flaky on some platforms | Medium | Add retries or platform-specific skips |
+| New failures discovered | Medium | Address immediately or document as known issues |
+| Performance regression | Low | Add baseline benchmarks first |
+| Breaking changes to test API | Low | Pin pytest version in requirements |
