A Seneca.js testing toolkit

Lead Maintainer: Mircea Alexandru

• A production test system to test the external API of a Seneca application
• Need to be able to export the API description from seneca-web of all APIs
• A separate plugin/applition will run continuous tests against this API.

The test system is composed from two different parts:

• Mite - this is a minimal plugin that will be loaded by the host application to be tested. It will have minimum functionality to make sure it will not affect the host application.
• Seneca-sentinel - a fully independent WEB application that is offering:
  • Can be used to monitor multiple mite-hosting applications from multiple clients. In this way, using a single/central Sentinel application more clients and their application.
  • Can be used to monitor also non-mite HTTP applications. (TBD)
  • User management - for access the application
  • Mite management - possibility to defined and control remote mite access
  • Monitor mite management
  • Define tests suites with validation of response based on HTTP status/parambulator rules on JSON response
  • Visualization of monitored health/test data by using:
    • Internal charts - TBD
  • Alarm management - manage internal alarm rules based on monitored application events. These alarms can trigger notification of two types:
    • HTTP notifications - notifications that will be displayed in the Sentinel site
    • E-mail notifications - email notifications sent to specific email addresses

• The mite plugin must be loaded by the host seneca application. No other configuration is required.
• To start the seneca-sentinel application please take a look on its documentation.
  • After seneca-sentinel is started the connection to the application to be monitored can be added.

• Project status - under development, do not use in production.

A plugin for reporting basic application information.

This plugin will attach to a host seneca application and will report using HTTP API the basic health and configuration information about the host application.

npm install seneca-mite --save

var seneca = require('seneca')()
seneca.use('mite')

No configuration is required for this plugin. It can be controlled/configured from a remote seneca-sentinel application.

Take a look on seneca-sentinel for details
