    ### 2. Benchmark Suite Expansion
    
    Extend `benches/` with comprehensive performance tests:

    ├── elf.rs # Existing ELF benchmarks
    ├── pe.rs # PE format benchmarks
    ├── macho.rs # Mach-O benchmarks
    ├── large_files.rs # Performance with large binaries
    └── string_extraction.rs # Core string extraction algorithms

    
    ### 3. Key Test Scenarios
    
    **CLI Integration Tests:**
    - Help text and version display
    - Output format options (JSON, plain text)
    - Error handling for invalid inputs
    - File path resolution
    - Encoding detection
    
    **Format-Specific Tests:**
    - String extraction from different sections (.rodata, .data, etc.)
    - Handling of stripped vs. non-stripped binaries
    - Unicode and multi-byte character support
    - Malformed binary handling
    
    **Snapshot Tests (using insta):**
    - JSON output format stability
    - Human-readable output formatting
    - Error message consistency
    
    **Performance Benchmarks:**
    - Small file processing (< 1MB)
    - Medium file processing (1-10MB)
    - Large file processing (> 10MB)
    - Different string density ratios
    
    ### 4. Implementation Steps
    
    1. **Phase 1: Basic Integration Tests**
       - Set up test fixtures with sample binaries
       - Implement CLI behavior tests
       - Add helper utilities for running CLI and capturing output
    
    2. **Phase 2: Format-Specific Tests**
       - Add ELF-specific integration tests
       - Add PE-specific integration tests
       - Add Mach-O-specific integration tests
    
    3. **Phase 3: Snapshot Testing**
       - Integrate insta for output verification
       - Create baseline snapshots for all test cases
       - Add CI validation for snapshot changes
    
    4. **Phase 4: Benchmark Suite**
       - Expand criterion benchmarks for all formats
       - Add comparative benchmarks (vs. GNU strings)
       - Set up performance regression detection in CI
    
    5. **Phase 5: Cross-Platform Validation**
       - Run tests on Linux, macOS, and Windows in CI
       - Add platform-specific edge case handling
       - Document platform differences
    
    ## Acceptance Criteria
    
    - [ ] Integration test coverage for CLI functionality
    - [ ] Format-specific tests for ELF, PE, and Mach-O binaries
    - [ ] Snapshot tests for all output formats using insta
    - [ ] Comprehensive benchmark suite using criterion
    - [ ] Tests pass on Linux, macOS, and Windows
    - [ ] CI pipeline includes integration tests and benchmarks
    - [ ] Test fixtures documented and reproducible
    - [ ] Performance baseline established for regression detection
    - [ ] Code coverage > 80% for core parsing logic
    
    ## Dependencies
    
    - **Blocked by:** Basic Test Infrastructure (must be completed first)
    - **Testing frameworks:** criterion (already added), insta (already added), tempfile (already added)
    - **Test fixtures:** Need sample binaries for different formats
    
    ## Technical Notes
    
    - Use `tempfile` for temporary test file creation
    - Leverage `assert_cmd` or similar for CLI testing
    - Consider using `cargo-nextest` for faster test execution
    - Document how to update snapshots with `cargo insta review`
    - Set up separate CI job for benchmarks to avoid noisy results

    ## Overview
    
    Add comprehensive integration test suite with performance benchmarks and snapshot testing to ensure the stringy binary analyzer works correctly across different binary formats, platforms, and edge cases.
    
    ## Context
    
    The stringy project aims to be a smarter alternative to the `strings` command with format-specific knowledge. To ensure reliability and prevent regressions:
    
    - **Integration tests** validate end-to-end CLI behavior and binary parsing across formats (ELF, PE, Mach-O, etc.)
    - **Benchmarks** track performance characteristics to prevent performance regressions
    - **Snapshot tests** verify output consistency across versions and ensure changes to output formatting are intentional
    - **Cross-platform validation** ensures the tool works correctly on Linux, macOS, and Windows
    
    ## Proposed Solution
    
    ### 1. Integration Test Suite Structure

    Add comprehensive integration test suite with performance benchmarks and snapshot testing to ensure the stringy binary analyzer works correctly across different binary formats, platforms, and edge cases.
    
    ## Context
    
    The stringy project aims to be a smarter alternative to the `strings` command with format-specific knowledge. To ensure reliability and prevent regressions:
    
    - **Integration tests** validate end-to-end CLI behavior and binary parsing across formats (ELF, PE, Mach-O, etc.)
    - **Benchmarks** track performance characteristics to prevent performance regressions
    - **Snapshot tests** verify output consistency across versions and ensure changes to output formatting are intentional
    - **Cross-platform validation** ensures the tool works correctly on Linux, macOS, and Windows
    
    ## Proposed Solution
    
    ### 1. Integration Test Suite Structure
    
    Create `tests/integration/` directory with:
