🧪 Test Coverage

Workflow Tests (15 tests)

Syntax Validation:

  • Workflow file exists
  • YAML syntax valid

Structure Validation:

  • Workflow has name
  • Workflow has triggers
  • Workflow has jobs
  • Jobs have required structure

Job Configuration:

  • Python validation job steps
  • PySpark validation job steps
  • SQL validation job steps
  • Python version specified
  • Java version specified (PySpark)
  • Action versions specified
  • Checkout step present

Trigger Configuration:

  • Push triggers configured
  • Pull request triggers configured

Terraform Tests (12 tests)

File Validation:

  • Terraform file exists
  • Has resource definitions

Resource Validation:

  • S3 buckets defined (all 4 required)
  • IAM roles defined
  • Glue jobs defined
  • Step Functions defined
  • EventBridge rules defined
  • CloudWatch alarms defined
  • Glue Data Catalog defined

Security Validation:

  • S3 encryption configured
  • S3 versioning enabled
  • S3 public access blocked

Syntax Validation:

  • Balanced braces
  • Resource blocks present

Integration Tests (4 tests)

Consistency:

  • Workflow jobs match Terraform infrastructure
  • Workflow tests Task 1 code
  • Workflow tests Task 3 code
  • Environment consistency across jobs

Total: 31 tests

🎯 Unified Testing Convention

All tasks now follow the same structure:

ComponentTask 1Task 3Task 4
Test directorytests/tests/tests/
Configurationpytest.inipytest.inipytest.ini
Fixturesconftest.pyconftest.pyconftest.py
Makefile
Reportsreports/reports/reports/
Test markersunit, integrationsyntax, logicworkflow, terraform

🚀 Usage

cd tasks/04_devops_cicd

# Run all tests in Docker (no setup required!)
make test

# Run specific categories
make test-workflow
make test-terraform
make test-integration

Benefits of Docker:

  • ✅ No dependency installation needed
  • ✅ Consistent environment across all machines
  • ✅ Isolated from system Python
  • ✅ Same as CI/CD environment

Test Output

Tests generate:

  • Console output - Immediate feedback
  • JSON report - reports/test_report.json (machine-readable)
  • HTML report - reports/test_report.html (human-readable)

📊 Comparison with Tasks 1 and 3

Task 1 (ETL)

  • Test files: 20+ test files
  • Test count: 54+ tests
  • Features: Metrics collection, Spark tests, S3 tests
  • Command: make test, make test-with-metrics

Task 3 (SQL)

  • Test files: 1 test file
  • Test count: 4 tests
  • Features: DuckDB isolation, SQL validation
  • Command: make test, make test-docker

Task 4 (CI/CD)

  • Test files: 3 test files
  • Test count: 31 tests
  • Features: YAML validation, Terraform validation, integration tests
  • Command: make test, make test-workflow, make test-terraform

✅ Benefits

  1. Consistency - Same structure as Tasks 1 and 3
  2. Automation - Automated validation of CI/CD configuration
  3. Early Detection - Catch issues before deployment
  4. Documentation - Tests serve as documentation
  5. Maintainability - Easy to extend and modify
