Unit Test Framework

CSA Rule Unit Testings

This is a Unit Test Framework that can easily be used to curate and test a rule set.

It makes it easy to test a rule set and ensure that rules will fire when expected.

Very often rules might never trigger or might trigger and pick up a false positive.

Now rules can be tested against specific source code samples. The framework checks the following:

• The rule syntax is correct and compiles
• The rule fires against the right set of file extensions
• The rule fires properly given a source code sample
• The rule fires the right amount of times given a source code sample
• The rule finding captured text is what should be expected given a source code sample

It is completely independant of CSA which does not have to be in the environment to test the rules.

It is also platform independant and can run on Linux, Mac, Windows.

Made that way, it could easily be embedded into a CI pipeline for users who need to source control and manage changes to their curated rule set.
