Workflow Testing

A workflow definition needs automated testing before deployment. The testing pipeline loads the workflow, executes it with known test inputs, asserts that each task produced expected outputs, and generates a pass/fail report with detailed diffs for failures.

Workflow inputs: testSuite, workflowUnderTest, expectedOutput

Workers

AssertWorker (task: wft_assert)

Checks assertions against expected output.

• Filters with predicates
• Reads actualOutput, expectedOutput. Writes assertions, allPassed

ExecuteWorker (task: wft_execute)

Executes the workflow under test using the provided fixtures. Processes the testData from the fixtures and produces actual output based on the input data rather than hardcoded values.

• Reads workflowUnderTest, fixtures. Writes actualOutput, executionTimeMs

ReportWorker (task: wft_report)

Generates the test report summarizing the test suite run.

• Filters with predicates
• Reads testSuite, allPassed, assertions, teardownClean. Writes report

SetupWorker (task: wft_setup)

Prepares test fixtures for the test suite.

• Reads testSuite. Writes fixtures

TeardownWorker (task: wft_teardown)

Cleans up test fixtures after test execution.

• Writes cleanedUp, resourcesReleased
