[Fab-user] Exercising variables from a deployment template/config file

Hi,

I built an App that gets its deployment data from a yaml/json config file,
the deployment data are set as variables, for example : number of virtual
machine to be spun or how many CPUs are needed per Virtual machine....etc

Now i am looking for a way to automate testing all these variables, so that
I can randomly exercise different values.

Has anyone seen any similar Tool/Framework ?

Thanks
Sam

I don't have any specific tools handy, but what you're looking for is often
called 'fuzz testing', so some of these might be useful:


https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonTestingToolsTaxonomy#Fuzz_Testing_Tools

I recognize 'Hypothesis' from that list, for example, though I've not used
it myself.

Best,
Jeff
