🧪 Testing and demo strategy ​

1. Technical Scope of Testing ​

Modules and Functionalities to Be Validated: ​

  1. API Gateway:

    • Validation of all API endpoints for compliance with the Google JSON Style Guide.
    • Test success and error responses, including edge cases for missing or invalid data.
    • Ensure robust handling of authentication and authorization.
    • CI testing with continous tests (Periodic run of stepCI on Github Actions)
    • Monitoring setup with a status page

  2. Compliance Engine:

    • Validate individual compliance workflows for correctness and fault tolerance.
    • Test long-running tasks, including exponential retries and external signals.
    • CI testing with continous tests (Periodic run of stepCI on Github Actions)

  3. Plugin Management System:

    • Verify the ability to register, configure, and execute third-party plugins.
    • Test fallback scenarios for faulty or unresponsive plugins.
    • Integration tests that monitor the availability with third party systems
    • Evenually vendonring when possible to have reliable integrations

  4. Batch Operations:

    • Validate batch compliance checks for scalability and accuracy.
    • Test parallel task execution and consolidated reporting for batch requests.

  5. Reporting Service:

    • Ensure public/private visibility settings work as expected.
    • Validate export functionality for reports in multiple formats (e.g., PDF, JSON).
    • Test detailed compliance scoring, including multi-standard comparisons.

  6. Dashboard and User Interface:

    • Verify usability and responsiveness across devices.
    • Test interaction flows for developers (e.g., scheduling, report generation) and end-users (e.g., browsing public reports).
    • Just for importnat red-routes we planned to have UI end-2-end testing with the Playwright platfrom tests suites

  7. Monitoring and Observability:

    • Confirm integration of Prometheus and Grafana for system health metrics.
    • Validate alerting mechanisms for critical issues in compliance workflows or API responses.

2. Validation Environments and Scenarios ​

Environments: ​

  1. Local Development Environment:

    • Use Docker to deploy all services locally.
    • Employ mock services (e.g., Mailhog, external API mocks) to simulate third-party interactions.

  2. Staging Environment:

    • Deploy a replica of the production environment with isolated databases and real service integrations.
    • Enable Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring during validation.

Scenarios Aligned with User Needs: ​

  1. Developer Use Case:

    • Submit a service for compliance checks and validate the accuracy of conformance scores.
    • Test scheduling periodic compliance checks and generating detailed reports.
    • CLI is working correctly and submits correct values to the API Gateway
    • REST API works correctly as the CLI
    • user workflows if broken report detailed debugging error messages
    • The devs should be able to replicate the actions and see where the error happens

  2. End-User Use Case:

    • Browse public reports and compare services based on compliance scores.
    • Validate the usability and responsiveness of the dashboard.
    • Can submit Credential issuers to verify the conformance of them

  3. Stress and Load Testing:

    • Simulate high-concurrency batch compliance checks.
    • Test system behavior under load using tools like Apache JMeter or k6.

  4. Fault Tolerance:

    • Introduce simulated outages and verify recovery mechanisms for Temporal workflows.
    • Test fallback logic for third-party plugin failures.

3. Demonstration Approach ​

Goals: ​

  • Showcase the capabilities of DIDImo in realistic, user-focused scenarios.
  • Highlight the solution's robustness, usability, and adaptability to changing conditions.

Steps: ​

  1. Setup:

    • Deploy the solution in a staging environment configured with real integrations and monitoring tools.
    • Load realistic test data for compliance workflows and organizational setups.

  2. Real-World Simulations:

    • Demonstrate submitting services for compliance checks, showcasing workflows from submission to report generation.
    • Show the ability to toggle report visibility and claim organizational ownership.

  3. Scenario-Based Demonstrations:

    • Developer Perspective:
      • Submit a batch of services for compliance checks.
      • Schedule periodic checks and review detailed reports.
    • End-User Perspective:
      • Browse public reports and compare service compliance scores.
      • Access detailed compliance data for informed decision-making.
    • Service Provider Perspective:
      • Manage privacy settings for reports and claim organizational ownership.

  4. Stress and Fault Tolerance:

    • Execute a high-volume batch of compliance checks to demonstrate system scalability.
    • Simulate service outages and showcase the resilience of Temporal workflows.

  5. Monitoring and Debugging:

    • Use Prometheus and Grafana to visualize system metrics during the demonstration.
    • Showcase Temporal’s ability to inspect, replay, and debug workflows.

Deliverables: ​

  • Detailed validation reports for all modules and functionalities.
  • Recorded demonstrations showcasing key use cases and scenarios.
  • Feedback from stakeholders to inform further refinements.
