  • To exercise user-facing automatable functionality, using standard SQL client drivers, we use the roachtest framework.

  • To exercise user-facing interactive functionality, we have two test approaches:

    • To exercise interactions in a text terminal, we use the TCL interactive test suite (pkg/cli/interactive_tests)

    • To exercise interactions via a web browser, we use a standard javascript interactive test package (somewhere in pkg/ui)

  • To exercise non-standard SQL drivers and certain system libraries, we use:

    • The acceptance test framework (pkg/acceptance), which imports a Docker image containing many non-standard libraries and client drivers.

    • The Examples-ORMs test suite in CI. This imports and runs the tests from https://github.com/cockroachdb/examples-orms
