ta-bulk-testing

This cli helps with bulk tests to the Autopilot infraestructure. It uses csv file fixtures as input and returns a json report if needed.

Installing

npm install -g ta-bulk-testing

Twilio's config parameters

In order for this application to run, it requires you to set three twilio variables.

How to get them?:

• Auth Token: here
• Account SID: here
• Assistant SID: here

There are three ways that the cli will try to get those variables from:

1. The Environment variables given by the OS, with the names of ACCOUNT_SID, AUTH_TOKEN and ASSISTANT_SID.
2. The cli parametes as account_sid, auth_token, assistant_sid.
3. A file generated by twilio autopilot cli which is located in ~/.twilio/config.json.

If any of those three places have the variables, it will raise an exception instead of running.

Running

Now you're able to run the project in the cli.

This is a cli program that helps you make bulk testing to
twilio's autopilot infraestructure. It uses a csv file fixtures
as input and returns a json report if needed.

Usage
  $ ta-bulk-testing <action>

Options
    --expand, -e Take the fixtures file and expand it.
                 This process relies on "intent-utterance-expander"
                 project.
    --export, -x Export report to a given name.
                 Eg. --export report.json.
                 If you send 'export' without a filename,
                 it will output the report in output.json.
    --fixtures, -f Import an specific fixture file. CSV Format
                   is mandatory.
    --language, -l Language for the testing. Default: 'en-US'
    --account_sid, -s Twilio's account SID, default will try to
                      lookup for it in ~/.twilio/config.json.
    --auth_token, -t Twilio's authorization token, default will
                     try to lookup for it in ~/.twilio/config.json.
    --assistant_sid, -a Twilio's specific assistant ID for this testing.

Examples
  $ ta-bulk-testing --expand --fixtures ./fixtures/en-US.csv --export

Fixtures

In order to generate the fixtures, this project relies on Intent Utterance Expander in order to expand the samples in your file. The first row, should be task, intent so that the library can match correctly the sample to the task that the bot should respond.

Example of the fixture file using the expander:

task, samples
hello_world, (Hi | Hello | Hey) I am Erick

Example of the fixture file without using the expander:

task, samples
hello_world, Hi I am Erick
hello_world, Hello I am Erick
hello_world, Hey I am Erick
hello_world, Hey I am Erick

Note: It's suggested that you use the expander to minimize the size of your fixture file.

In the folder fixtures of this project, there's an example .csv file using the expander feature.

For tasks resolved as null

In case you want to add test cases that resolves as null, you should do the following:

task, samples
null, this is a samples that should not be resolved by the NLR.
