Ensono Stacks Testing Frameworks
Building testing frameworks from scratch requires a lot of boilerplate code. It is also hard to know how to get started without examples.
As part of the Ensono Stacks projects we have developed a range of testing frameworks for each part of our solutions that are already built in, which can be bootstrapped and tailored to your current project with just one command. In addition they also exist as standalone solutions that can be run cloned and run without the need to build the entire solution can can be modified to applications and workloads outside of Ensono Stacks.
Bootstrap your framework
The best way to get started, is bootstrapping the framework using the scaffolding-cli from Ensono Stacks. By using it in interactive mode, you can simply answer 5 questions to get a bespoke framework, ready to go with an example test.
npx @amidostacks/scaffolding-cli test -i

* Currently cannot be bootstrapped from @amidostacks/scaffolding-cli, but is available to clone from the amido/stacks-webapp-template repository.
Get testing in just five questions

At the end of bootstrapping your example framework, you will have an output that will contain all the:
- Dependencies
- Scripts
- Example tests
- Pipelines
- Environment variables
- ...and information to start testing immediately

Customising
Since the frameworks provide real examples on deployed applications, we recommend using these as examples and then replacing them with your own applications under test.
