Translator SRI Automated Test Harness

Automated Test Harness that downloads Translator Tests and executes them via Translator Runners

Overview

The Test Harness is a wrapper around the Test Runners. Its job is to retrieve automated tests, run the given queries, and then pass the responses along to test runners, and then send the report to a test dashboard, all while being easily and automatically instantiated.

Test Runners

The Test Harness incorporates Test Runners that run analyses on the responses of the automated tests. These Runners must be pip installable and take a test asset input and response as arguments. An example Test Runner function can be found here. The list of current Test Runners can be found in requirements-runners.txt.

Test Schema

WARNING: This schema is likely to change as the Test Cases are finalized

• env: the environment to run the queries against. (dev, ci, test, prod)
• query_type: type of query to test. (treats(creative), upregulates, downregulates)
• expected_output: whether the output curie is good or bad. (TopAnswer, Acceptable, BadButForgivable, NeverShow)
• input_curie: curie used in the initial query.
• output_curie: curie checked for in the results

How to use:

The Test Harness is a CLI that you need to install:

• pip install -r requirements.txt to install normal dependencies
• pip install -r requirements-runners.txt to install the Test Runners
• pip install . to install the Test Harness CLI

Once everything is installed, you can call

• test-harness -h to see available options

Running locally

By default the Test Harness reports results to an Information Radiator and posts them to Slack. To run everything locally without those services (for example while developing), pass --local:

• test-harness --local download <suite>

In local mode the harness makes no network calls to the Information Radiator or Slack. The test results (CSV and JSON) and any performance artifacts are saved to a local directory instead (test_results/ by default, configurable with --output_dir).

You don't have to use --local to get local files: if Slack isn't configured (no SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL / SLACK_TOKEN / SLACK_CHANNEL), the results are saved to --output_dir automatically. Likewise, if the Information Radiator isn't configured (no ZE_BASE_URL / ZE_REFRESH_TOKEN), the harness falls back to a local reporter.
