Integration Testing solution for DevOps

About Citrus

Framework for automated integration tests supporting a wide range of message protocols and data formats! In a typical test scenario the system under test is running on a test infrastructure while interacting with Citrus over various messaging transports. During the test Citrus is able to act on both sides as client and consumer exchanging real request/response messages over the wire. With each test step you can validate the exchanged messages with expected control data including message headers, attachments and body content (e.g. XML, Json, ...). The test provides a Java fluent API to specify the test logic and is fully automated. The repeatable test is nothing but a normal JUnit or TestNG test and can easily run as integration test in a CI/CD pipeline. Kamelets represent Camel-K route snippets that act as standardized event sources and sinks in an event driven architecture.

Gauge

Gauge is a free and open source framework for writing and running acceptance tests. Gauge tests are in Markdown which makes writing and maintaining tests easier. Reuse specifications and robust refactoring to reduce duplication. Less code and readable specifications means less time spent on maintaining the test suite. Gauge works with multiple languages, CI/CD tools and automation drivers. You don't have to learn a new language or tool to get your test automation tool to work for you. Gauge has a robust plugin architecture and plugin ecosystem. You can easily extend Gauge to add support for IDEs, drivers, datasources, text execution events or your favorite programming language. Don’t waste time going through stacktraces. Gauge takes a screenshot on a test failure allowing you to get a visible picture of what went wrong. Reports are available across multiple formats (XML, JSON, HTML).

XCTest

Create and run unit tests, performance tests, and UI tests for your Xcode project. Use the XCTest framework to write unit tests for your Xcode projects that integrate seamlessly with Xcode's testing workflow. Tests assert that certain conditions are satisfied during code execution, and record test failures (with optional messages) if those conditions aren’t satisfied. Tests can also measure the performance of blocks of code to check for performance regressions and can interact with an application's UI to validate user interaction flows. A test method is a small, self-contained method that tests a specific part of your code. A test case is a group of related test methods. Add test cases and test methods to a test target to confirm that your code performs as expected. The primary class for defining test cases, test methods, and performance tests. An abstract base class for creating, managing, and executing tests.

HUnit

HUnit is a unit testing framework for Haskell, inspired by the JUnit tool for Java. It's easy to use HUnit, assuming you are familiar with Haskell, though not necessarily with JUnit. A test-centered methodology for software development is most effective when tests are easy to create, change, and execute. The JUnit tool pioneered support for test-first development in Java. HUnit is an adaptation of JUnit to Haskell, a general-purpose, purely functional programming language. With HUnit, as with JUnit, you can easily create tests, name them, group them into suites, and execute them, with the framework checking the results automatically. Test specification in HUnit is even more concise and flexible than in JUnit, thanks to the nature of the Haskell language. HUnit currently includes only a text-based test controller, but the framework is designed for easy extension. Run the tests as a group.
