SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates comprehensive testing of ComplianceAsCode security rules using Automatus, coordinating rule validation, scope, datastream readiness, VM availability, and test execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Validate rule existence and applicability across supported products using Automatus and MCP tooling.
  • Determine test scope, including product selection, remediation types, and templates.
  • Verify prerequisites (datastream availability, VM readiness, and snapshots) before executing tests.
  • Run automated tests against target VMs and datastreams, then analyze and report results.
  • Use case: Validate a rule for rhel9 with Bash remediation, ensuring initial failures become compliant after remediation.

Quick Start

Provide a rule_id and follow prompts to configure target products, VM, and datastream, then run the automated test workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate end-to-end security rule testing for ComplianceAsCode?

Automated security rule testing uses Automatus to validate rule existence and applicability across products, configure test scope and datastreams, verify VM readiness, and execute tests to collect compliance results.

What is the process for validating a security rule across supported products?

Security rule validation identifies the target rule by its ID, checks applicability across supported products, and coordinates prerequisites like datastream availability and VM snapshots before executing automated tests.

How do I test Bash remediation for a security rule on a virtual machine?

Testing Bash remediation involves configuring the test scope with the target product and remediation type, verifying VM and datastream readiness, then executing automated tests to confirm initial failures become compliant.

Do I need a specific VM and datastream setup to run automated security rule tests?

Yes, automated security rule testing requires verifying prerequisites including target VM availability, snapshots, and datastream readiness before executing tests through the Automatus workflow.

Can I run security rule tests using virsh and MCP tools?

Security rule test execution orchestrates validation, prerequisites, and reporting using Automatus, MCP tools, and virsh to manage VMs and datastreams for automated testing workflows.

Why are my automated security rule tests not working?

Security rule tests fail when prerequisites are unmet, requiring verification of rule ID existence, datastream availability, VM readiness, and proper test scope configuration before execution.
