Proposal:Implementing Integration E2E Tests for Go-client

---

Motivation

In order to ensure the stability and reliability of the StreamPipes Go client library, a series of comprehensive test strategies are adopted. First, a test environment that closely resembles the production environment was built, including all necessary services and dependencies to ensure that the test results were authentic and predictable. Then, a comprehensive set of test cases is designed that not only covers the normal business process, but also considers various potential anomalous processes to ensure the robustness of the client library in the face of unexpected situations. In order to improve the efficiency and consistency of testing, automated test scripts were written using the testing package of Go, and finally, these end-to-end tests were integrated into the continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) process to ensure that each code commit automatically triggered tests, so as to achieve continuous monitoring and timely feedback on code quality. Designed to provide a reliable and efficient client library for StreamPipes users.

Goals

• Verify functionality: Ensure that all functions of the Go client library perform correctly as expected, including connections, data transfers, disconnections, etc.
• Compatibility guarantee: Ensure that the client library can be compatible with different versions of the StreamPipes server, as well as different operating systems and network configurations.
• Early defect detection: Through automated and continuously integrated testing processes, defects can be found and fixed as early as possible, reducing the cost of repair.

implement

1. Docker Environment: Use Docker to create a repeatable and consistent test environment. With Docker containers, we can simulate a production environment, including all the necessary components of the StreamPipes service.

2. Custom Boot Scripts: Customized boot scripts were developed that were able to accept the IP address, port, and other environmental configurations of the test machine as parameters. This flexibility allows us to implement client-side E2E testing in other languages in the future.

3. Go language test process. E2E testing: Write end-to-end test cases that simulate the operational flow of real users, from connection to data transfer to disconnection.

4. CI/CD Integration. Automated testing: Integrate automated testing scripts into your CI/CD process to ensure that tests are triggered with every code commit.
