in-toto attestation implementation tests

We provide a set of basic tests for the different language bindings for the in-toto attestation layers.

Testing the Go bindings

The go packages go/v1 and go/predicates provide a number of tests for the statement and predicate layers.

Running the Go tests

To run all tests:

make go_test

Writing new Go tests

Please use the standard Go testing package to write tests for new predicates. For example tests, take a look at the *_test.go files in the go/ directory tree.

At a minimum, we suggest testing JSON marshalling and unmarshalling of the Go language bindings.

Testing the Python bindings

The tests/python directory contains a number of tests for the statement and predicate layers.

Running the Python tests

To run all tests:

make py_test

Writing new Python tests

Please use the standard Python unittest package to write tests for new predicates. For example tests, take a look at the test_*.py modules in the tests/python/ directory tree.

At a minimum, we suggest testing JSON marshalling and unmarshalling of the Python language bindings.
