Overview
The infrastructure test plugin implements functionality to test basic infrastructure.
The plugin supports these test cases:
- dns-forward-resolution-test - tests whether a host name can be resolved to an expected IP-address.
- dns-reverse-resolution-test - tests whether an IP-address can be resolved to a expected host name.
- dns-resolution-test - tests whether a host name can be resolved to an expected IP-address and that the IP-address can be resolved back to the host name.
- tcp-connection-test - test whether a TCP host listens on expected port(s).
- http-test - tests the HTTP behavior of a HTTP host.
- test-session-stickyness - tests whether a sequence of HTTP-request from the same client are routed to and handled by the same host.
- test-load-balancing - tests whether HTTP-requests from new HTTP clients are routed to and handled by different hosts.
- test-http-statuscode - test whether a host returns an expected HTTP status code.
- test-http-redirect - test whether a host redirects a HTTP request to another URL.
- test-http-header - test whether a host returns expected and not expected HTTP headers.
- test-can-access-unc-path - tests a Windows share can be access using a UNC path.
- test-active-ftp-server - tests whether a FTP server is active on designated host.
- test-ftp-server-contains-directory - tests whether a FTP server contains a designated directory.
- test-ftp-server-can-create-directory - tests whether a directory can be created and then deleted on FTP server.
Usage
Go to the Plugin Usage page for instructions on using the plugin.
Supported operations
The plugin supports the default operations:
- test (from the test workflow). When the plugin is invoked with this operation, the content of the module model which contains infrastructure test cases are executed.
For more information about the default operations, refer to the Operation and workflow reference.
Plugin schema
The plugin defines a schema named infrastructure test plugin schema for definition definition of models in module models files.
The schema defines the namespace http://pineapple.dev.java.net/ns/plugin/infrastructure_1_0.
For more information about where the schema can be found, refer to the Schema locations for plugins page.
