## 1.3. How to create the distribution and upload to pypi
1. Run `python -m build` to generate distribution (requires `pip install build`)
2. Run `twine check dist/*` to check the validation of distribution
3. Run `twine upload dist/*` to upload to pypi repository
4. Check the website https://pypi.org/project/armodel/ to find out it works or not

And more details can be found at https://packaging.python.org/  

## 1.4. How to perform Tests

### Quick Start (Recommended)

Use the test runner script for colored output and comprehensive testing:

```bash
# Run all tests (unit + integration)
python scripts/run_tests.py

# Run only unit tests
python scripts/run_tests.py --unit

# Run only integration tests
python scripts/run_tests.py --integration

# Run with coverage reports
python scripts/run_tests.py --coverage

# Verbose output
python scripts/run_tests.py --verbose
```

### Using pytest Directly

* Run `pip install pytest pytest-cov` to install pytest
* Run `pytest --cov=armodel --cov-report term-missing` to verify all the functionality
* Run `pytest tests/test_armodel/` to run only unit tests
* Run `pytest tests/integration_tests/ -s` to run integration tests with progress output

## 1.5. Integration Tests

The project includes a comprehensive integration test suite that validates round-trip parsing and writing of ARXML files.

### Purpose

Integration tests verify the complete parse → write → re-parse → compare cycle to ensure data integrity through the full workflow.

### Test Coverage

- **29 ARXML files** tested from `test_files/` directory
- **Round-trip validation**: Parse → Write → Re-parse → Compare
- **AUTOSAR version detection**: Auto-detects from 4.0.3 to R24-11
- **Extensible**: Add custom directories via `config.yaml`

### Running Integration Tests

```bash
# Using the test runner (recommended)
python scripts/run_tests.py --integration

# Using pytest directly with progress output
pytest tests/integration_tests/ -s

# Run specific file categories
pytest tests/integration_tests/ -k "datatypes"
pytest tests/integration_tests/ -k "bsw"
pytest tests/integration_tests/ -k "production"
```

### Adding Custom Test Files

Edit `tests/integration_tests/config.yaml`:

```yaml
additional_directories:
  - path: "/path/to/your/project/arxml"
    category: "production"
    recursive: true

exclude_patterns:
  - "*/temp/*.arxml"
  - "*/backup/*.arxml"
```

For more details, see [tests/integration_tests/README.md](tests/integration_tests/README.md).

## 1.6. Usage Guidelines

### Basic Usage

```python
from armodel.models import AUTOSAR
from armodel.parser.arxml_parser import ARXMLParser
from armodel.writer.arxml_writer import ARXMLWriter

# Set AUTOSAR version before parsing/writing
AUTOSAR.setARRelease("R23-11")

# Parse ARXML file
parser = ARXMLParser()
document = AUTOSAR.getInstance()
document.clear()
parser.load("input.arxml", document)

# Access the model
packages = document.getARPackages()
for pkg in packages:
    print(f"Package: {pkg.getShortName()}")

# Write to ARXML file
writer = ARXMLWriter()
writer.save("output.arxml", document)
```

### Best Practices

1. **Always set AUTOSAR version** before parsing or writing:
   ```python
   AUTOSAR.setARRelease("R23-11")  # Required
   ```

2. **Reset singleton** between operations:
   ```python
   AUTOSAR.getInstance().clear()  # or AUTOSAR.new()
   ```

3. **Use warning mode** for development:
   ```python
   parser = ARXMLParser(options={"warning": True})
   ```

4. **Find elements by short name**:
   ```python
   component = autosar.findAtomicSwComponentType("MyComponent")
   if component is not None:
       behavior = autosar.getBehavior(component)
   ```

### Common Workflows

#### Load and Inspect ARXML

```python
AUTOSAR.setARRelease("R23-11")
parser = ARXMLParser()
doc = AUTOSAR.getInstance()
doc.clear()
parser.load("file.arxml", doc)

# List all software components
components = doc.getAtomicSwComponentTypes()
for comp in components:
    print(f"{comp.getShortName()}: {comp.__class__.__name__}")
```

#### Modify and Save ARXML

```python
# Load existing file
parser.load("input.arxml", doc)

# Find and modify a component
comp = doc.findAtomicSwComponentType("MyComponent")
if comp:
    comp.setShortName("NewComponentName")

# Save changes
writer.save("output.arxml", doc)
```

## 1.7. How to create a distribution and wheel

* Run `python -m build` to build both source and wheel distributions
* Run `python -m build --sdist` to build only source distribution
* Run `python -m build --wheel` to build only wheel distribution

## 1.8. How to create the document

1. Run `pip install sphinx` to install the necessary document
