+# AgentConversation Integration Test Harness
+
+The `AgentConversation.IntegrationTests` project provides a **reusable test harness** for validating conversation dynamics in long-running, multi-agent scenarios that involve tool use. Instead of rebuilding a large conversation context in every test run, the harness allows you to:
+
+1. **Capture** a representative conversation context once (by driving a real conversation with your AI agents).
+2. **Serialize** that context to a JSON file and commit it alongside your tests.
+3. **Restore** the saved context in each test run.
+4. **Solicit** one or more agent responses from the restored context.
+5. **Validate** each response and compare before/after metrics.
+
+---
+
+## Key Abstractions
+
+| Type | Role |
+|------|------|
+| `IConversationTestCase` | Defines a test case: agents, initial messages, ordered steps, and a method to automate context creation. |
+| `IConversationTestSystem` | System-specific plugin: how to **create agents** and how to apply **context compaction** (both vary per AI backend). |
+| `ConversationAgentDefinition` | Describes a participating agent — name, instructions, and optional tools. |
+| `ConversationStep` | One step in the conversation: which agent to invoke, an optional input message, and an optional validation delegate. |
+| `ConversationMetrics` | A snapshot of conversation context size — message count and serialized byte size. |
+| `ConversationMetricsReport` | A before/after `ConversationMetrics` pair with delta helpers for reporting. |
+| `ConversationContextSerializer` | Serializes and deserializes `IList` to/from JSON strings or files. |
+| `ConversationHarness` | The core runner that ties everything together. |
+| `ConversationHarnessTests` | Abstract xunit base class that subclasses inherit to get the `RunAllTestCasesAsync` test. |
+
+---
+
+## How It Works
+
+### 1. Implement `IConversationTestSystem`
+
+Provide an implementation that knows how to create agents for your target AI backend and optionally compact messages:
+
+```csharp
+public sealed class OpenAIConversationTestSystem : IConversationTestSystem
+{
+ public Task CreateAgentAsync(ConversationAgentDefinition definition, CancellationToken ct = default)
+ {
+ var chatClient = new OpenAIClient(apiKey)
+ .GetChatClient("gpt-4o")
+ .AsIChatClient();
+
+ AIAgent agent = new ChatClientAgent(chatClient, options: new()
+ {
+ Name = definition.Name,
+ ChatOptions = new() { Instructions = definition.Instructions, Tools = definition.Tools }
+ });
+
+ return Task.FromResult(agent);
+ }
+
+ public Task?> CompactAsync(IList messages, CancellationToken ct = default)
+ {
+ // Return null for no compaction, or apply an IChatReducer here.
+ return Task.FromResult?>(null);
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Implement `IConversationTestCase`
+
+Define the agents involved, the initial context to restore, and the steps to execute:
+
+```csharp
+public sealed class MyConversationTestCase : IConversationTestCase
+{
+ public string Name => "MyConversation";
+
+ public IReadOnlyDictionary AgentDefinitions { get; } =
+ new Dictionary
+ {
+ ["Assistant"] = new() { Name = "Assistant", Instructions = "You are a helpful assistant." }
+ };
+
+ // Load the saved context from a JSON fixture file.
+ public IList GetInitialMessages() =>
+ ConversationContextSerializer.LoadFromFile("fixtures/my-conversation.context.json");
+
+ public IReadOnlyList Steps { get; } =
+ [
+ new ConversationStep
+ {
+ AgentName = "Assistant",
+ Input = new ChatMessage(ChatRole.User, "Summarize our conversation so far."),
+ Validate = (response, metrics) =>
+ {
+ Assert.NotEmpty(response.Text);
+ Assert.True(metrics.After.MessageCount > metrics.Before.MessageCount);
+ }
+ }
+ ];
+
+ // Called once to generate the fixture file — not during normal CI runs.
+ public async Task> CreateInitialContextAsync(
+ IReadOnlyDictionary agents, CancellationToken ct = default)
+ {
+ var agent = agents["Assistant"];
+ var session = await agent.CreateSessionAsync(ct);
+
+ // Drive a rich, representative conversation to build up the context.
+ await agent.RunAsync(new ChatMessage(ChatRole.User, "Tell me about the weather."), session, cancellationToken: ct);
+ await agent.RunAsync(new ChatMessage(ChatRole.User, "What about tomorrow?"), session, cancellationToken: ct);
+ // ... more turns ...
+
+ var provider = agent.GetService()!;
+ return provider.GetMessages(session);
+ }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Derive from `ConversationHarnessTests`
+
+Wire the system and test cases into a concrete test class:
+
+```csharp
+public class MyConversationTests(ITestOutputHelper output)
+ : ConversationHarnessTests(output)
+{
+ protected override OpenAIConversationTestSystem CreateTestSystem() => new();
+
+ protected override IEnumerable GetTestCases() =>
+ [
+ new MyConversationTestCase(),
+ ];
+}
+```
+
+The inherited `RunAllTestCasesAsync` test method will automatically run all cases and log the before/after metrics to the xunit test output.
+
+---
+
+## Generating Initial Context Fixtures
+
+The context fixture files need to be generated once and committed to the repository. Run the inherited `SerializeAllInitialContextsAsync` test to produce them:
+
+```bash
+dotnet test --filter "FullyQualifiedName~SerializeAllInitialContexts"
+```
+
+This test is **skipped during normal CI runs** to avoid expensive AI calls. After generating the files, commit them alongside your test code so that all subsequent runs can restore the context without calling the AI service again.
+
+---
+
+## Metrics Reporting
+
+After each test case runs, a `ConversationMetricsReport` is logged. It captures:
+
+- **`Before`** — message count and serialized byte size of the initial context.
+- **`After`** — message count and byte size after all steps have executed.
+- **`MessageCountDelta`** / **`SizeDeltaBytes`** — the change between before and after.
+
+Example output:
+
+```
+[MyConversation] Before=[Messages=12, Size=4096B] After=[Messages=14, Size=4712B] Delta=[Messages=+2, Size=+616B]
+```
+
+---
+
+## Example
+
+See [`Microsoft.Agents.AI.Abstractions.IntegrationTests`](../Microsoft.Agents.AI.Abstractions.IntegrationTests) for a self-contained working example that uses an in-memory mock `IChatClient` so it runs without live AI credentials.
