Hi,
In Solum project we are currently creating tests environments for future
test. We split unit tests and functional tests in order to use tempest
framework from the beginning.
Tempest framework assumes that you run your service and test APi
endpoints by sending HTTP requests. Solum uses Pecan WSGI framework
which has its own test framework based on WebTest. This framework allows
to test application without sending actual HTTP traffic. It mocks low
level stuff related to transport but keeps all high level WSGI part as
it is a real life application\service.
There is a question to QA\Tempest teams, what do you think about using
pecan test framework in tempest for Pecan based applications?
I don't think that makes sense. Then we're not using the code like it
would be used normally (via HTTP).
+1 There are other projects that do things like this as well in their
unit tests. But Tempest is supposed to test the real API in a blackbox
fashion and protect against unintentional api changes. It is also
proposed to be used with refstack.
And to clarify, Tempest uses REST apis for the api stability tests. The
scenario tests use the official python clients.
