# ACAT JSON Configuration Guide
## Migration from XML
[Instructions for using ConfigMigrationTool]
## Configuration Files
### ActuatorSettings.json
**Location:** `%APPDATA%\ACAT\Config\ActuatorSettings.json`
**Schema Reference:**
- `actuators` (array, required): List of input devices
- `name` (string, required): Device name
- `enabled` (boolean): Enable/disable device
- `switches` (array): Button/key mappings
**Example:**
```json
{
"actuators": [
{
"name": "Keyboard",
"enabled": true,
"switches": [
{ "name": "Enter", "action": "Select" }
]
}
]

## 🎫 Ticket #11: Phase 1 Integration Testing
**Labels:** `phase-1-foundation`, `test`, `P1-High`, `integration`
**Estimate:** 1 day
**Assignee:** [Developer]
**Sprint:** Week 4
### Description
Comprehensive integration testing of Phase 1 deliverables: logging and configuration systems working together.
### Test Scenarios
- [ ] **Fresh Install**
- Clean user directory
- Launch ACAT
- Verify default configs created (JSON)
- Verify logs created
- [ ] **XML Migration**
- User has existing XML configs
- Run migration tool
- Launch ACAT with new JSON configs
- Verify all settings preserved
- [ ] **Logging in Production**
- Configure production log levels
- Run ACAT for 10 minutes
- Check log files created
- Verify performance impact minimal
- [ ] **Configuration Validation**
- Create invalid JSON config
- Launch ACAT
- Verify user-friendly error message
- Verify fallback to defaults
### Acceptance Criteria
- ✅ All scenarios pass
- ✅ No regressions in existing features
- ✅ Log files created correctly
- ✅ JSON configs load correctly
- ✅ Migration tool works end-to-end
- ✅ Performance impact < 5%
- ✅ Test results documented
### Performance Validation
```csharp
[TestMethod]
public void LoggingPerformanceTest()
{
var logger = GetLogger();
var stopwatch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
for (int i = 0; i < 10_000; i++)
{
logger.LogInformation("Test message {Index}", i);
}
stopwatch.Stop();
// Should be < 100ms for 10K logs
Assert.IsTrue(stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds < 100,
$"Logging too slow: {stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds}ms");
}
