SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Ark Chainsaw Testing automates the creation, execution, and verification of end-to-end Chainsaw tests for Ark resources, reducing manual effort and speeding up validation cycles.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Test execution: Run standard tests, run specific tests, and debug with persistent resources.
  • Test patterns & use cases: Leverage existing test structures and guidance to implement new tests quickly.
  • Use Case: Integrate with CI pipelines to verify Ark deployments across models, agents, and queries.

Quick Start

To run Ark Chainsaw tests, use the included test suite commands as shown:

  • Run all standard tests: (cd tests && chainsaw test --selector 'standard')
  • Run a specific test: chainsaw test ./tests/query-parameter-ref --fail-fast
  • Debug mode (keep resources on failure): chainsaw test ./tests/query-parameter-ref --skip-delete --pause-on-failure

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate end-to-end Chainsaw testing for Kubernetes resources?

Automate end-to-end Chainsaw testing by using predefined test structures, YAML definitions, and environment setups to validate Ark resources across models, agents, and configurations. This standardizes execution and reduces manual validation effort.

What is the best way to debug a failing Chainsaw test without deleting resources?

Debug failing Chainsaw tests by running commands with the --skip-delete and --pause-on-failure flags. This keeps resources persistent on failure, allowing you to inspect the environment and troubleshoot issues directly.

Can I run a specific Chainsaw test suite instead of the full standard test suite?

Yes, you can run specific Chainsaw tests by targeting individual test directories, such as executing chainsaw test ./tests/query-parameter-ref --fail-fast. This allows targeted validation of individual components.

How do mock-llm integrations work within Ark Chainsaw test automation?

Mock-llm integrations provide deterministic environments for Chainsaw test automation by standardizing test structures across models and agents. This ensures consistent, reproducible validation cycles for Ark deployments.

Does Ark Chainsaw testing support integration into CI pipelines?

Ark Chainsaw testing supports CI pipeline integration to verify deployments across models, agents, and queries. Standard test workflows can be automated to validate configurations and manifests continuously.
