What if API testing worked like Terraform? (An experiment in Go)

Описание и применение

Эксперимент по применению подхода Terraform к тестированию API: сценарии пишутся на TypeScript, компилируются в статический план, а затем исполняются в Go, что упрощает аудит и поддержку тестов.

Задача

API test suites are hard to inspect, audit, and maintain due to ad-hoc code and lack of a declarative plan.

Результат

Introduces a plan-first approach to API testing that improves test suite inspection, auditability, and maintainability.

Рабочий процесс

• Define API test scenarios in TypeScript.
• Run budment plan to generate and inspect a static execution plan without network calls.
• Compile the plan into a Go executable AST.
• Execute the compiled plan natively in Go to run the tests.
• Review and iterate on the plan as needed.

Доказательства

I built a small project. You define workflows in TypeScript, run budment plan to inspect the execution hierarchy and hooks without making network requests, then execute the compiled AST natively in Go.
