## 🧪 Testing

### Component Testing

```typescript
import { render, screen, fireEvent } from '@testing-library/react';
import { ImageGenerationSuggestions } from './components';

describe('ImageGenerationSuggestions', () => {
  it('renders suggestion card initially', () => {
    render(
      <ImageGenerationSuggestions
        contentType="post"
        topic="Test Topic"
        industry="Technology"
        content="Test content"
      />
    );
    
    expect(screen.getByText(/Enhance Your Post with AI-Generated Images/)).toBeInTheDocument();
  });

  it('generates prompts when button is clicked', async () => {
    // Test implementation
  });
});
```

### Integration Testing

Test the component with your existing LinkedIn content workflow:

1. Generate LinkedIn content
2. Trigger image generation
3. Select image prompt
4. Verify image generation
5. Test error handling

## 🚀 Performance Considerations

- **Lazy Loading**: Images are loaded only when needed

- **Error Boundaries**: Graceful error handling with fallbacks
- **Memory Management**: Proper cleanup of intervals and event listeners

## 🔒 Security & Validation

- **Input Validation**: All props are validated before processing
- **API Security**: Secure API calls to backend services
- **Error Handling**: No sensitive information exposed in error messages
- **Content Filtering**: Generated content follows LinkedIn guidelines

## 📚 API Endpoints

The component expects these backend endpoints:

- `POST /api/linkedin/generate-image` - Create image from prompt
- `POST /api/linkedin/edit-image` - Edit existing image

## 🐛 Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

1. **Prompts Not Generating**: Check backend API connectivity
