E2E service tests #146

Closed chrisdoherty4 closed 2 years ago

chrisdoherty4 commented 2 years ago

To ensure Hegel does in-fact function it would be useful to have some sort of e2e test that merely launches the Hegel image and hits a few endpoints.

This could be by using a mock back-end or a light weight Kubernetes cluster implementation - something that can run on the CI in a reasonable time frame.

At a minimum, ensuring we can launch the service would be useful.

Is there a way to test that the ec2 metadata endpoints are compliant to the standard in any way? that might be a nice addition too.

chrisdoherty4 commented 2 years ago

Compliance tests are a good thought although I'm not sure how different they'd be vs normal e2e tests. I mention that because we don't support all AWS EC2 endpoints, for example, and never will as they aren't all relevant.

Do you have a particular train of thought on a differentiating factor between typical E2E tests and compliance tests in this case?

Addressed in #157 and #158
