Eggplant DAI Runner

Introduction

The Eggplant DAI Runner is an Eggplant DAI integration tool that build as GitHub Action. It enables the functionality to launch DAI tests from within a GitHub workflow pipeline. You can use it to continuously test your application's model-based approach to testing. For more information about Eggplant, visit https://www.eggplantsoftware.com.

Notes

1. This workflow .yml file needs to in the .github/workflows directory in your repository on GitHub.
   Reading: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/quickstart.

2. On strategy: max-parallel: 1: SUT(System Under Test) is locked for one Eggplant DAI test configuration run at a time.
   Hence, we can only do unilateral testing.

3. Eggplant DAI Runner supports 3 type of operating system:

• Linux
• Windows
• MacOS
