How to Test Terraform Code – Strategies and Tools

In this article, we discuss various Terraform testing strategies to ensure the reliability and functionality of your infrastructure code. These strategies include integration testing, unit testing, end-to-end (E2E) testing, linting, compliance testing, and drift testing. We explore tools like Terratest, Kitchent-Terraform, TFLint, Checkov, and Spacelift to aid in these testing processes. By combining these strategies and using the appropriate tools, you can ensure that your Terraform code is well-tested and reliable, and changes are deployed quickly and safely.
