Writing Tests
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Salt uses a test platform to verify functionality of components in a simple
|
|
way. Two testing systems exist to enable testing salt functions in somewhat
|
|
real environments. The two subsystems available are integration tests and
|
|
unit tests.
|
|
|
|
Salt uses the python standard library unittest2 system for testing.
|
|
|
|
Integration Tests
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
The integration tests start up a number of salt daemons to test functionality
|
|
in a live environment. These daemons include 2 salt masters, 1 syndic and 2
|
|
minions. This allows for the syndic interface to be tested and master/minion
|
|
communication to be verified. All of the integration tests are executed as
|
|
live salt commands sent through the started daemons.

Integration tests are particularly good at testing modules, states and shell
|
|
commands.
|
|
|
|
Unit Tests
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
Direct unit tests are also available, these tests are good for internal
|
|
functions.
