About:
Beakerlib is a comprehensive shell-level integration testing library designed for RPM-based systems. It provides a rich set of commands for managing services, files, and network operations within test scenarios. Its primary value is simplifying the creation of robust, repeatable tests for system configurations and package installations.
Key Features:
  • Comprehensive assertion library for files, services, and processes
  • Built-in logging and result reporting mechanisms
  • Support for managing test phases (cleanup, setup, rollback)
  • RPM integration for testing package installations and dependencies
Use Cases:
  • Integration testing for system administration scripts
  • Quality assurance for RPM package builds and post-install scripts
  • Validating service configurations and network states
Alternatives:
  • Bats (Bash Automated Testing System) – Bats is a TAP-compliant test runner for Bash, whereas Beakerlib offers a higher-level API specifically tailored for system integration tasks.
  • ShUnit2 – ShUnit2 is a xUnit framework for shell scripts, focusing more on unit testing logic rather than Beakerlib's focus on system state and integration.
