## Core Components Tested

### 1. NormalizerConfig
Configuration structure for normalization parameters:
- `interval`: Target time interval between points
- `fill_strategy`: Strategy for filling missing data
- `alignment`: Timestamp alignment boundary
- `max_interpolation_gap`: Maximum gap for interpolation
- `buffer_size`: Buffer size for out-of-order handling
- `max_latency`: Maximum buffering latency

### 2. FillStrategy
Five strategies for handling missing data:
- **Forward**: Use last known value
- **Backward**: Use next known value
- **Linear**: Linear interpolation between points
- **Zero**: Fill with zero
- **Skip**: Skip missing points

### 3. AlignmentBoundary
Four alignment options:
- **Second**: Align to nearest second
- **Minute**: Align to nearest minute
- **Hour**: Align to nearest hour
- **None**: No alignment

### 4. TimeSeriesNormalizer
Main normalization engine with methods:
- `align_timestamp()`: Align timestamps to boundaries
- `detect_interval()`: Auto-detect time series interval
- `interpolate_linear()`: Linear interpolation
- `fill_gap()`: Fill missing data points
- `normalize()`: Main normalization pipeline
- `add_to_buffer()`: Buffer management for out-of-order events
- `flush_buffer()`: Process buffered events

### 5. NormalizationMetrics
Comprehensive metrics tracking:
- `input_count`: Number of input events
- `output_count`: Number of output events
- `interpolated_count`: Number of interpolated points
- `forward_filled_count`: Forward fill operations
- `backward_filled_count`: Backward fill operations
- `dropped_count`: Dropped points
- `out_of_order_count`: Out-of-order events
- `gaps_detected`: Number of gaps detected

## Performance Targets

### Throughput
- ✅ **10K events**: < 100ms
- ✅ **100K events**: < 1 second
- ✅ **With gaps**: < 200ms for 10K events

### Latency

- ✅ **Small batch (10 events)**: < 5ms
- ✅ **P99**: < 10ms

## Common Patterns

### Test Structure
```rust
#[test]
fn test_feature() {
    // 1. Setup
    let mut config = NormalizerConfig::default();
    config.fill_strategy = FillStrategy::Linear;
    let mut normalizer = TimeSeriesNormalizer::new(config);

    // 2. Create test data
    let events = vec![
        TestEvent::new(timestamp1, value1),
        TestEvent::new(timestamp2, value2),
    ];

    // 3. Execute
    let result = normalizer.normalize(events);

    // 4. Verify
    assert_eq!(result.events.len(), expected);
    assert_eq!(result.metrics.interpolated_count, expected);
}
```

### Async Test Structure
```rust
#[tokio::test]
async fn test_async_feature() {
    // Test async operations
}
```

## Debugging Tips

### Enable Debug Output
```rust
println!("Result: {:?}", result);
println!("Metrics: {:?}", normalizer.metrics);
```

### Run Single Test with Output
```bash
cargo test test_name -- --nocapture
```

### Use Test Helpers
```rust
// Print all events in result
for (i, event) in result.events.iter().enumerate() {
    println!("{}: {} -> {}", i, event.timestamp, event.value);
}
```
