Ademtests

Ademtests is a cross-language software testing framework developed to support automated evaluation of software components within the Adem ecosystem. It provides tooling for writing, organizing, executing, and reporting on tests that exercise data processing, modeling, and integration tasks typical of Adem-based projects. The project aims to offer a consistent testing experience across languages and platforms, enabling teams to reuse test schemas and fixtures.

The architecture of Ademtests centers on a test runner, a library of assertions, and a set of adapters that enable integration with common languages and build systems. Tests are written as modular units that can be parameterized, composed into collections, and executed in isolation or in parallel. The framework emphasizes reproducibility through deterministic fixtures, versioned test data, and environment configuration that can be captured in CI pipelines.

Key features include: test discovery and selection, parametrized and data-driven tests, support for asynchronous and time-based tests, mocking and stubbing facilities, and reporting in multiple formats (stdout, JSON, HTML). Ademtests also provides adapters for popular language ecosystems and supports integration with continuous integration tools.

Typical usage involves installing the Ademtests package, creating a tests/ directory with test modules, defining fixtures and assertions, and running the test suite to observe pass/fail status and generate reports. The framework is designed to be lightweight, extensible, and well-documented, with emphasis on minimal boilerplate and clear failure messages.

Limitations include a learning curve for teams new to the Adem stack, potential overhead for very large test suites, and reliance on community-maintained adapters for language support. See also: software testing, test automation, continuous integration.
