Concerto Conformance Test Suite

Desription

The Concerto Conformance Test Suite provides a standardized, automated testing suite to validate models and semantic behavior across Accord Project's Concerto implementation.

Overview

This repository includes:

1. A set of semantic validation rules
2. Comprehensive valid and invalid model examples
3. Tests written using Cucumber, offering behavior-driven, human-readable test definitions
4. Support for both JavaScript and C# runtimes The suite specifically tests core components of the Concerto ecosystem: the ModelFile and ModelManager classes from @accordproject/concerto-core

Getting started

1. Install dependencies: npm install
2. Run the Javascript test suite: npm test
3. Run tests for C#: npm run test:csharp

Interactive CLI:

You can also use the built-in CLI for a guided setup: npm start
The CLI allows you to provide custom ModelManager, Parser, or ModelFile sources for testing.

Future Roadmap

Enabling straightforward integration with CI/CD pipelines, so projects like Concerto itself can:

1. Automatically run conformance tests on every push
2. Detect semantic rule violations or model-breaking changes early
3. Maintain consistent validation standards across development workflows
