Test::BDD::Infrastructure - a collection of step file definitions for Test Driven Infrastructure

VERSION

version 1.001

Description

This is a collection of generic step definitions for infrastructure testing with Test::BDD::Cucumber.

Overview

Test::BDD::Infrastructure::File

Checks for testing existence, attributes, size, mode and content of files and directories.

Test::BDD::Infrastructure::Process

Checks for testing the process table.

Test::BDD::Infrastructure::HTTP

Checks for testing a HTTP server.

Test::BDD::Infrastructure::Compare

Checks for testing configuration variables.

Example

First include the steps from a step_file:

# features/step_files/00use_steps.pl
use Test::BDD::Infrastructure;

Or just include individual steps:

# features/step_files/00use_steps.pl
use Test::BDD::Infrastructure::File;
use Test::BDD::Infrastructure::HTTP;
use Test::BDD::Infrastructure::Process;

Then define features of your infrastructure:

# features/webserver.feature
Feature: Example application is running on a webserver
For the example application to work it is necessary that the webserver
is configured and running.

Scenario: The webserver process must be running
Given a parent process like ^/usr/sbin/apache2.prefork is running
Then the uid of the process must be root
And the gid of the process must be root
And the RSS size of the process must be smaller than 32 megabyte
When there are at least 5 child processes like ^/usr/sbin/apache2.prefork
Then the uid of the child processes must be www-data
And the gid of the child processes must be www-data
And the RSS size of the child processes must be smaller than 64 megabyte

Scenario: The start page of the webserver must be accessible
Given the http URL http://www.example.mydomain.de/
When the http request is sent
Then the http response must be successfull
And the http response header Content-Type must be like text/html
And the http response content must be like Welcome to Example

Scenario: The webserver must log access
Given the file /var/log/apache2/access.log exists
Then the file mode must be 0640
And the file must be owned by user root
And the file must be owned by group adm
And the file must contain at least 1 line
And the file mtime must be newer than 5 minutes
