nitrokey-test-suite

BDD Python 3 tests of GnuPG functionality (using CLI) in connection with OpenPGP v2.1+ compatible smartcard. Project uses Behave for test running and description and Pexpect for in/out slave app control. This gives the possibility of human-readable description of use cases, disconnected from the actual implementation.

Installation

In terminal please run:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt --user

This will install required Python packages in user's space.

Writing tests

Please consult with Behave's tutorial for fast and easy introduction. See features/000_basic_tests.feature for example test and steps/steps.py for steps implementation.

Tagging tests

To tag a test precede the scenario with @name_of_the_tag. More details in Behave documentation.

Running

Usually one only needs:

export LANG=C
behave

This will run all feature tests from current directory.

Popular switches are:

• --stop switch will stop the tests after first failure
• --tags allows to select/deselect tests with given tags, e.g.:

behave --tags=-openpgp_v2.1

will deselect all tests with tag openpgp_v2.1.

For detailed description please consult Behave documentation.
