provider-test-patterns

Acceptance testing for Terraform providers is standardized using terraform-plugin-testing patterns that cover TestCase and TestStep lifecycles, reducing boilerplate and improving test reliability. The Skill provides structured references for organizing these tests.

Terraform provider state and plan checks are handled through standardized ConfigStateChecks and PlanChecks patterns. These references guide you in validating resource behavior across the full lifecycle to ensure consistent test quality.

ImportState verification in Terraform plugin testing validates that resources can be correctly imported back into state. The Skill documents specific acceptance testing patterns to standardize this import verification across diverse provider scenarios.

Ephemeral resources can be tested using terraform-plugin-testing with guidance from the Skill's ephemeral testing patterns. It includes best practices and real-world use cases utilizing echoprovider to validate ephemeral resource behavior.

Terraform provider sweepers are cleanup mechanisms used to remove leftover infrastructure before or after acceptance tests run. The Skill provides guidance on implementing sweeper patterns alongside other standardized testing references for consistent test quality.

Standardizing provider acceptance tests requires terraform-plugin-testing to properly structure TestCase and TestStep lifecycles. The Skill's patterns depend on this framework to ensure consistent test quality and reduce boilerplate across diverse provider scenarios.
