```
Given: A configured host list
When: Monitoring runs for one cycle
Then:
  - Pings are executed successfully
  - Results are stored in database
  - Statistics are calculated correctly
```

#### Scenario 2: Failed Ping Handling
```

  - NULL latency values are handled
  - System continues monitoring other hosts
```

#### Scenario 3: Cleanup Job Execution
```
Given: Database with records of various ages
When: Cleanup job runs
Then:
  - Records older than retention period are deleted

  - Database integrity is maintained
  - Deleted count is reported accurately
```

#### Scenario 4: Configuration Validation
```
Given: A configuration file
When: Configuration is loaded
Then:
  - All required fields are validated
  - Invalid values are rejected
  - Defaults are applied where appropriate
  - Errors are reported clearly
```

## Mocking Strategies

### Network Mocking
```python
# Mock subprocess for ping operations
with patch('subprocess.run') as mock_run:
    mock_run.return_value = mock_ping_response
    # Test code here
```

### Database Mocking
```python
# Use temporary databases with fixtures
def test_example(db_connection):
    # db_connection is auto-cleaned up
    cursor = db_connection.cursor()
    # Test code here
```

### Configuration Mocking
```python
# Use temporary config files
def test_example(temp_config_file):
    # temp_config_file is auto-cleaned up
    config = load_config(temp_config_file)
    # Test code here
```

## Performance Benchmarks

### Expected Test Execution Times
- **Unit Tests**: <2 minutes (142 tests)
- **Integration Tests**: <3 minutes (50 tests)
