Daily Test Coverage Improver - SVD Edge Case Tests (+12.94% Module Coverage)

[github-actions]

Summary

Added 18 comprehensive edge case tests for the SVD (Singular Value Decomposition) module, significantly improving test coverage from 85.88% to 98.82% (+12.94%, +66 lines covered).

Problems Found

Uncovered Branches in SVD.fs:

• Case 2 Path (lines 405-406, 435-448): Handling of negligible singular values s(k)
• Zero Diagonal Handling (lines 326-329): else branch when s.[k] = 0.0 during U matrix generation
• Negative Shift Calculation (line 470): Branch when b < 0.0 in Wilkinson shift
• Edge Matrix Configurations: Various matrix shapes and conditions not previously tested

These branches represented critical edge cases in the SVD algorithm that were previously untested, leaving important numerical stability paths unvalidated.

Actions Taken

1. Created SVDEdgeCaseTests.fs with 18 new targeted tests:

   • Matrix with negligible singular value (Case 2 path)
   • Rank-deficient matrix with zero column
   • Matrix with zero diagonal entry (s.[k] = 0.0 path)
   • 2x3 matrix (m < p case with p adjustment)
   • Very ill-conditioned matrix (negative b in shift)
   • Matrix causing negative shift parameter
   • Matrix with multiple near-zero singular values
   • Asymmetric matrix with varied scales
   • 3x2 tall matrix with near-singular structure
   • Matrix requiring many iterations
   • Matrix with alternating signs
   • 4x2 tall narrow matrix
   • Matrix with one dominant singular value
   • Tridiagonal-like structure
   • Matrix with repeated rows
   • Upper triangular matrix
   • Lower triangular matrix
   • Nearly singular matrix

2. Verified all tests pass - 1438 tests passing (up from 1420)

3. Confirmed dramatic coverage improvement through before/after comparison

Replicating the Test Coverage Measurements

Prerequisites

cd /path/to/FsMath

Before Coverage (from main branch)

git checkout main
dotnet restore
dotnet build

# Run tests with coverage
dotnet test tests/FsMath.Tests/FsMath.Tests.fsproj \
  --collect:"XPlat Code Coverage" \
  --results-directory ./coverage-before \
  -- DataCollectionRunSettings.DataCollectors.DataCollector.Configuration.Format=cobertura

# SVD.fs: 85.88% coverage (72 lines uncovered)

After Coverage (from this branch)

git checkout daily-test-improver-svd-edge-cases-20251022-1761103256
dotnet restore
dotnet build

# Run tests with coverage
dotnet test tests/FsMath.Tests/FsMath.Tests.fsproj \
  --collect:"XPlat Code Coverage" \
  --results-directory ./coverage-after \
  -- DataCollectionRunSettings.DataCollectors.DataCollector.Configuration.Format=cobertura

# SVD.fs: 98.82% coverage (6 lines uncovered)!

Display Coverage Comparison

python3 << 'PYTHON_EOF'
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
import glob

before_file = glob.glob('./coverage-before/*/coverage.cobertura.xml')[0]
after_file = glob.glob('./coverage-after/*/coverage.cobertura.xml')[0]

tree_before = ET.parse(before_file)
tree_after = ET.parse(after_file)

before_rate = float(tree_before.getroot().get('line-rate')) * 100
after_rate = float(tree_after.getroot().get('line-rate')) * 100

print(f"Overall: {before_rate:.2f}% → {after_rate:.2f}% (+{after_rate - before_rate:.2f}%)")

# Check SVD.fs
for cls in tree_after.getroot().iter('class'):
    if 'SVD' in cls.get('name', '') and 'FsMath.Algebra.SVD' == cls.get('name'):
        rate = float(cls.get('line-rate')) * 100
        print(f"SVD.fs: {rate:.2f}%")

Test Design Strategy

The tests were carefully designed to trigger specific uncovered branches:

1. Case 2 Triggering: Created matrices with near-zero elements to make specific singular values negligible
2. Zero Diagonal Tests: Matrices with zero columns/rows force s.[k] = 0.0 paths
3. Ill-Conditioned Matrices: Matrices with vastly different scales trigger negative shift calculations
4. Geometric Variations: Different matrix shapes (tall, wide, square) test dimension-specific code paths
5. Convergence Testing: Matrices requiring multiple iterations validate the iterative algorithm

Each test validates:

• Mathematical correctness (A = U * Σ * V^T reconstruction)
• Singular value properties (non-negative, descending order)
• Matrix orthogonality (U^T * U = I, V^T * V = I)
• Numerical stability

Future Areas for Improvement

Based on remaining coverage gaps in the codebase:

1. SpanPrimitives.fs - 0% coverage (362 lines) - Inline Span functions (untestable by coverage tools)
2. SpanMath.fs - 0% coverage (170 lines) - Inline span-based math operations
3. SIMDUtils.fs - 0% coverage (206 lines) - Inline SIMD operations
4. Matrix.fs - 85.6% coverage (110 uncovered lines) - Being addressed in open PR Daily Test Coverage Improver - Matrix Edge Cases and Coverage Gaps #77
5. LinearAlgebra.fs - 96.5% coverage (22 uncovered lines) - Mostly inline closures
6. GenericMath.fs - 88.2% coverage - Being addressed in open PR Daily Test Coverage Improver - Achieve 100% Coverage for GenericMath.fs #80

Significance

Achieving 98.82% coverage for SVD.fs is important because:

1. Critical Decomposition: SVD is one of the most important matrix decompositions in numerical linear algebra
2. Numerical Stability: Edge cases test numerical stability under various matrix conditions
3. Algorithm Validation: Tests validate all four cases in the iterative SVD algorithm
4. Regression Prevention: Comprehensive edge case coverage prevents future regressions
5. User Confidence: High test coverage provides confidence for users relying on SVD for applications like dimensionality reduction, pseudoinverse computation, and data analysis

The SVD module is now one of the most thoroughly tested modules in the codebase.
