Tools for Unit Testing Workflows
1) As a developer, I want to write a unit test for a workflow and execute on my local machine or in CI using tox.
- I think this can be accomplished by creating a tool that uses Mistral workflow execution machinery to call workflow and taking care of data transformations, fulfilling security and execution context etc (whatever the minimum that is needed).
- The actions listed in the workflow should already have unit tests associated with them and so they can be mocked in this workflow execution context.
- The developer will then be able to run this tool within their local tox env during development
2) As a developer, I want to validate a workflow on my local machine or in CI using tox without having a running instance of Mistral.
- Currently for Python development in OpenStack, we have a pep8 env in tox that allows us to validate our code locally. The workflow validation tool would provide a similar experience for workflows.
