Speak CI Integration

Overview

Set up CI/CD pipelines for Speak language learning integrations with automated testing.

Prerequisites

• GitHub repository with Actions enabled
• Speak test API key (sandbox environment)
• npm/pnpm project configured
• Test audio samples for speech recognition tests

Instructions

Step 1: Create GitHub Actions Workflow

Create .github/workflows/speak-integration.yml:

name: Speak Integration Tests

on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]

env:
  SPEAK_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.SPEAK_API_KEY }}
  SPEAK_APP_ID: ${{ secrets.SPEAK_APP_ID }}

jobs:
  unit-tests:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: '20'
          cache: 'npm'

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: npm ci

      - name: Run unit tests
        run: npm test -- --coverage

      - name: Upload coverage
        uses: codecov/codecov-action@v4
        with:
          files: ./coverage/lcov.info

  integration-tests:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: unit-tests
    env:
      SPEAK_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.SPEAK_API_KEY_TEST }}
      SPEAK_APP_ID: ${{ secrets.SPEAK_APP_ID_TEST }}
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: '20'
          cache: 'npm'

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: npm ci

      - name: Run Speak integration tests
        run: npm run test:integration
        timeout-minutes: 10

  speech-recognition-tests:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: unit-tests
    env:
      SPEAK_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.SPEAK_API_KEY_TEST }}
      SPEAK_APP_ID: ${{ secrets.SPEAK_APP_ID_TEST }}
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: '20'
          cache: 'npm'

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: npm ci

      # Download test audio files
      - name: Cache test audio
        uses: actions/cache@v4
        with:
          path: tests/fixtures/audio
          key: test-audio-v1

      - name: Download test audio fixtures
        run: npm run download:test-audio

      - name: Run speech recognition tests
        run: npm run test:speech
        timeout-minutes: 15

Step 2: Configure Secrets

# Set Speak API credentials
gh secret set SPEAK_API_KEY --body "sk_test_***"
gh secret set SPEAK_APP_ID --body "app_***"

# Separate test environment credentials
gh secret set SPEAK_API_KEY_TEST --body "sk_sandbox_***"
gh secret set SPEAK_APP_ID_TEST --body "app_sandbox_***"

Step 3: Create Integration Tests

// tests/integration/speak.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect, beforeAll, afterAll } from 'vitest';
import { SpeakClient, AITutor, LessonSession } from '@speak/language-sdk';

describe('Speak Integration', () => {
  let client: SpeakClient;
  let session: LessonSession | null = null;

  beforeAll(() => {
    client = new SpeakClient({
      apiKey: process.env.SPEAK_API_KEY!,
      appId: process.env.SPEAK_APP_ID!,
      language: 'es',
    });
  });

  afterAll(async () => {
    if (session) {
      await session.end();
    }
  });

  it.skipIf(!process.env.SPEAK_API_KEY)('should verify API health', async () => {
    const health = await client.health.check();
    expect(health.healthy).toBe(true);
  });

  it.skipIf(!process.env.SPEAK_API_KEY)('should start a lesson session', async () => {
    const tutor = new AITutor(client, {
      targetLanguage: 'es',
      nativeLanguage: 'en',
      proficiencyLevel: 'beginner',
    });

    session = await tutor.startSession({
      topic: 'greetings',
      duration: 5,
    });

    expect(session.id).toBeDefined();
    expect(session.status).toBe('active');
  });

  it.skipIf(!process.env.SPEAK_API_KEY)('should get tutor prompt', async () => {
    if (!session) {
      throw new Error('Session not initialized');
    }

    const prompt = await session.getPrompt();
    expect(prompt.text).toBeTruthy();
    expect(prompt.audioUrl).toMatch(/^https:\/\//);
  });

  it.skipIf(!process.env.SPEAK_API_KEY)('should submit response and get feedback', async () => {
    if (!session) {
      throw new Error('Session not initialized');
    }

    const feedback = await session.submitResponse({
      text: 'Hola, me llamo Juan',
    });

    expect(feedback.pronunciationScore).toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(0);
    expect(feedback.pronunciationScore).toBeLessThanOrEqual(100);
    expect(feedback.message).toBeTruthy();
  });
});

Step 4: Speech Recognition CI Tests

// tests/integration/speech.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect, beforeAll } from 'vitest';
import { readFile } from 'fs/promises';
import { join } from 'path';
import { SpeakClient } from '@speak/language-sdk';

describe('Speech Recognition', () => {
  let client: SpeakClient;

  beforeAll(() => {
    client = new SpeakClient({
      apiKey: process.env.SPEAK_API_KEY!,
      appId: process.env.SPEAK_APP_ID!,
      language: 'es',
    });
  });

  it.skipIf(!process.env.SPEAK_API_KEY)('should recognize Spanish speech', async () => {
    // Load test audio file
    const audioPath = join(__dirname, '../fixtures/audio/hola-spanish.wav');
    const audioBuffer = await readFile(audioPath);

    const result = await client.speech.recognize(audioBuffer.buffer);

    expect(result.transcript.toLowerCase()).toContain('hola');
    expect(result.confidence).toBeGreaterThan(0.5);
  });

  it.skipIf(!process.env.SPEAK_API_KEY)('should score pronunciation', async () => {
    const audioPath = join(__dirname, '../fixtures/audio/buenos-dias.wav');
    const audioBuffer = await readFile(audioPath);

    const result = await client.speech.score({
      audio: audioBuffer.buffer,
      expectedText: 'Buenos días',
      detailed: true,
    });

    expect(result.overall).toBeGreaterThanOrEqual(0);
    expect(result.overall).toBeLessThanOrEqual(100);
    expect(result.words).toHaveLength(2);
  });
});

Step 5: Add Test Audio Download Script

// scripts/download-test-audio.ts
import { writeFile, mkdir } from 'fs/promises';
import { join } from 'path';

const FIXTURES_DIR = join(__dirname, '../tests/fixtures/audio');

const TEST_AUDIO_FILES = [
  {
    name: 'hola-spanish.wav',
    url: 'https://example.com/test-audio/hola-spanish.wav',
  },
  {
    name: 'buenos-dias.wav',
    url: 'https://example.com/test-audio/buenos-dias.wav',
  },
  // Add more test files as needed
];

async function downloadTestAudio() {
  await mkdir(FIXTURES_DIR, { recursive: true });

  for (const file of TEST_AUDIO_FILES) {
    const response = await fetch(file.url);
    const buffer = await response.arrayBuffer();
    await writeFile(join(FIXTURES_DIR, file.name), Buffer.from(buffer));
    console.log(`Downloaded: ${file.name}`);
  }
}

downloadTestAudio();

Output

• Automated test pipeline
• PR checks configured
• Coverage reports uploaded
• Speech recognition tests included
• Release workflow ready

Error Handling

Issue	Cause	Solution
Secret not found	Missing configuration	Add secret via gh secret set
Tests timeout	Audio processing slow	Increase timeout or mock
Auth failures	Invalid key	Check secret value
Audio fixture missing	Not downloaded	Run download script
Flaky speech tests	Audio quality	Use high-quality fixtures

Mock-Based Fast Tests

// tests/unit/speak-mocked.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect, vi, beforeEach } from 'vitest';
import { mockSpeakClient } from '../mocks/speak-mock';

vi.mock('@speak/language-sdk', () => ({
  SpeakClient: vi.fn().mockImplementation(() => mockSpeakClient),
}));

describe('Speak Client (Mocked)', () => {
  beforeEach(() => {
    vi.clearAllMocks();
  });

  it('should initialize client', () => {
    // Fast test without network
  });
});
