Terraform provider acceptance tests verify infrastructure resources are created, updated, and destroyed without drift. This skill standardizes test suites using the Plugin Framework and terraform-plugin-testing to cover resource lifecycles, import verification, and plan validation.

Verifying Terraform resource state and plan behavior uses modern assertions like ConfigStateChecks and PlanChecks. These patterns ensure type-safe state assertions, confirming that your resource handles updates, deletions, and external state changes correctly.

Infrastructure cleanup in Terraform acceptance testing is handled via sweepers. This skill provides patterns to facilitate infrastructure cleanup, ensuring test environments are correctly managed and resources are destroyed after test execution.

Yes, this skill supports Terraform provider import testing and regression testing. It includes guidance on import verification and CheckDestroy functions, satisfying requirements for regression testing and handling ephemeral resources.

Yes, you can use terraform-plugin-testing with the Plugin Framework. This skill standardizes acceptance test implementation using both tools, facilitating the creation of test suites that verify type-safe state assertions and plan validation.

Terraform provider acceptance tests show infrastructure drift when resources are not correctly created, updated, and destroyed. This skill addresses this complexity by providing patterns for CheckDestroy and plan validation to prevent drift.
