Terraform configurations are easy to write but hard to validate safely; this skill provides a structured approach to test infrastructure code using plan and apply workflows, mocks, and assertions to prevent breaking changes.
Create your first unit test under tests/ using *_unit_test.tftest.hcl and run terraform test to execute plan-mode validations.

To test Terraform configurations without real cloud credentials, use mock providers within .tftest.hcl files. Mock providers simulate infrastructure resources, allowing you to execute predictable plan and apply workflows safely during unit and integration testing.
The best way to structure Terraform tests is using .tftest.hcl files organized under a tests/ directory. Apply naming conventions like *_unit_test.tftest.hcl for unit tests and *_integration_test.tftest.hcl for integration tests to ensure reproducible validation workflows.
To run Terraform tests in a CI pipeline, execute terraform test against your structured .tftest.hcl files. This automates plan-mode validations and assertions for infrastructure code, ensuring safe, reproducible changes across module versions and CI integrations.
Yes, terraform test supports mock providers for module validation. By configuring mocks within .tftest.hcl files, module authors can validate configurations and run assertions without provisioning real infrastructure or requiring actual cloud provider credentials.
