Testing Events

Testing events covers the subjects and predicates related to test-execution performed either independently or as part of CI/CD pipelines.

These subjects replace the previously defined testCase/testSuite subjects in the Continuous Integration category

Subjects

This specification defines three subjects in this stage: testCaseRun, testSuiteRun and testOutput.

The predicates for testCaseRun must follow the following expectations:

  • The following events are valid initial events: queued, started, or skipped.
  • The following events are valid terminal events that will not be followed by other events: finished and skipped.
  • A queued event must be followed by one of the following: started or finished.
  • A started event must be followed by a finished event.
Subject Description Predicates
testCaseRun The execution of a software testCase queued, started, finished, skipped
testSuiteRun The execution of a software testSuite queued, started, finished
testOutput An output artifact produced by a testCaseRun published

testCaseRun

A testCaseRun is a process that executes a test against an input software artifact of some kind, for instance source code, a binary, a container image or else. A testCaseRun is the smallest unit of testing that the user wants to track, testSuiteRuns are for grouping purposes.

Field Type Description Examples
id String Uniquely identifies the subject within the source. Login-Test-execution-1213423, e2e-test1, 2334234324
source URI-Reference source from the context staging/testkube, testkube-dev-123
environment Object environment The environment in which this testCaseRun is executing {"id": "1234"}, {"id": "dev", "source": "testkube-dev-123"}
testCase Object testCase An optional definition of the testCase being executed {"id": "92834723894", "name": "Login Test", "type": "integration"}
testSuiteRun Object testSuiteRun An optional testSuiteRun to associate this testCaseRun with a containing testSuiteRun {"id":"Auth-TestSuite-execution-12334", "source": "staging/testkube"}

testSuiteRun

A testSuiteRun represents the execution of a set of one or more testCaseRuns.

Field Type Description Examples
id String Uniquely identifies the subject within the source. Auth-TestSuite-execution-12334, regression-123
source URI-Reference source from the context staging/testkube, testkube-dev-123
environment Object environment The environment in which this testSuiteRun is executing {"id": "1234"}, {"id": "dev", "source": "testkube-dev-123"}
testSuite Object testSuite An optional definition of the testSuite being executed {"id": "92834723894", "name": "Auth TestSuite"}

testOutput

One or more testOutput artifacts are usually produced as the result of a test execution.

Field Type Description Examples
id String Uniquely identifies the subject within the source. report-23123123
source URI-Reference source from the context staging/testkube, testkube-dev-123
outputType String (enum) The type of output, one of report, video, image, log, other video
format String The Content-Type of the output artifact application/pdf, image/png, application/json
uri URI-Reference A reference to retrieve the specified output artifact https://testkube.mycluster.internal/artifacts/23123123
testCaseRun Object testCaseRun An optional testCaseRun to link this artifact to a specific testCaseRun {"id":"Login-Test-execution-1213423", "source": "staging/testkube"}
