Summary

Elastic uses the elastic-package tool to ensure compatibility and integrity between Elastic integrations and observed products by implementing various testing methods. These testing methods include asset tests, which verify the successful installation of an integration package in Kibana, pipeline tests that examine Elasticsearch ingest pipelines using representative log files, static tests that check field definitions in sample event files, and system tests that simulate real-world data collection scenarios. These tests help increase test coverage, reduce manual testing time, and ensure the integrations function properly across different environments. The testing framework is designed to be CI-friendly, allowing for automated execution, which is crucial for maintaining robust and reliable integrations.
