🔍 QA Test Report - Crypto Intelligence Hub

Date: 2025-12-03
QA Agent: Automated Testing System
Environment: HuggingFace Spaces (Production-like)

📋 Executive Summary

This report documents the current state of external API dependencies, polling intervals, mock data usage, and error handling across the application. The analysis follows strict QA guidelines to ensure stability and predictability without relying on unreliable external services.

Overall Status: ⚠️ NEEDS IMPROVEMENT

Key Findings:

  • ✅ Good: Most modules use unified server-side API with fallbacks
  • ⚠️ Warning: Some modules still have direct external API calls (Binance, CoinGecko)
  • ⚠️ Warning: Polling intervals are too aggressive in some areas (3-5 seconds)
  • ❌ Critical: Demo/mock data generation still exists in some modules
  • ✅ Good: Error handling is generally robust with fallback chains

1. External API Usage Analysis

1.1 Direct External API Calls (Frontend)

❌ CRITICAL: Direct Binance Calls

Location: static/pages/trading-assistant/trading-assistant-professional.js

  • Line 20: binance: 'https://api.binance.com/api/v3'
  • Line 347: Direct CoinGecko calls
  • Status: ⚠️ ACTIVE - Still attempts direct calls as fallback
  • Risk: CORS errors, timeouts, rate limiting
  • Recommendation: Remove direct calls, rely only on server unified API

⚠️ WARNING: Direct CoinGecko Calls

Location: Multiple files

  • static/pages/trading-assistant/trading-assistant-professional.js:347
  • static/pages/technical-analysis/technical-analysis-professional.js:18
  • Status: Used as fallback after server API fails
  • Risk: Rate limiting (429 errors), CORS issues
  • Recommendation: Keep as last resort only, increase timeout handling

1.2 Server-Side API Calls (Backend)

✅ GOOD: Unified Service API

Location: backend/routers/unified_service_api.py

  • Status: ✅ ACTIVE - Primary data source
  • Fallback Chain: CoinGecko → Binance → CoinMarketCap → CoinPaprika → CoinCap
  • Error Handling: ✅ Comprehensive with 5 fallback providers
  • Recommendation: ✅ Keep as primary source

✅ GOOD: Real API Clients

Location: backend/services/real_api_clients.py

  • Status: ✅ ACTIVE - Handles all external API calls server-side
  • Error Handling: ✅ Retry logic, timeout handling, connection pooling
  • Recommendation: ✅ Continue using server-side clients

2. Polling Intervals & Throttling

2.1 Current Polling Intervals

Module Interval Location Status Recommendation
Dashboard 30s dashboard.js:345 ✅ Good Keep
Technical Analysis 30s technical-analysis-professional.js:962 ✅ Good Keep
Trading Assistant (Real) 5s trading-assistant-real.js:554 ⚠️ Too Fast Increase to 20-30s
Trading Assistant (Ultimate) 3s trading-assistant-ultimate.js:397 ❌ Too Fast Increase to 30-60s
Trading Assistant (Enhanced) 5s trading-assistant-enhanced.js:354 ⚠️ Too Fast Increase to 20-30s
News 60s news.js:34 ✅ Good Keep
Market Data 60s dashboard-old.js:751 ✅ Good Keep
API Monitor 30s dashboard.js:74 ✅ Good Keep
Models 60s models.js:24 ✅ Good Keep
Data Sources 60s data-sources.js:33 ✅ Good Keep

2.2 Recommendations

❌ CRITICAL: Reduce Aggressive Polling

  1. Trading Assistant (Ultimate): Change from 3s to 30-60s
  2. Trading Assistant (Real): Change from 5s to 20-30s
  3. Trading Assistant (Enhanced): Change from 5s to 20-30s

Rationale:

  • Reduces server load
  • Prevents rate limiting
  • Avoids timeout errors
  • Better for demo/testing environments

3. Mock/Demo Data Usage

3.1 Active Mock Data Generation

❌ CRITICAL: Trading Assistant Professional

Location: static/pages/trading-assistant/trading-assistant-professional.js

  • Line 485-487: generateDemoOHLCV() still called as last resort
  • Line 493-520: generateDemoOHLCV() function still exists
  • Status: ❌ ACTIVE - Generates fake OHLCV data
  • Impact: Users see fake chart data when all APIs fail
  • Recommendation: ❌ REMOVE - Show error state instead

✅ FIXED: Technical Analysis Professional

Location: static/pages/technical-analysis/technical-analysis-professional.js

  • Status: ✅ FIXED - Demo data generation removed
  • Line 349-353: Now shows error state instead of demo data
  • Line 1044: Function removed with comment

✅ FIXED: AI Analyst

Location: static/pages/ai-analyst/ai-analyst.js

  • Status: ✅ FIXED - No mock data, shows error state
  • Line 257: Shows error state when APIs unavailable

⚠️ WARNING: Dashboard Demo News

Location: static/pages/dashboard/dashboard.js

  • Line 465: getDemoNews() fallback
  • Line 497: Demo news generation function
  • Status: ⚠️ ACTIVE - Used when news API fails
  • Recommendation: Consider keeping for UI stability, but mark as "demo mode"

3.2 Mock Data Summary

Module Mock Data Status Action Required
Trading Assistant Professional ✅ OHLCV ❌ Active REMOVE
Technical Analysis Professional ❌ None ✅ Fixed None
AI Analyst ❌ None ✅ Fixed None
