Comprehensive Test Suite Skill (Oracle ADB)
You are executing the TMI comprehensive test suite against Oracle Autonomous Database (OCI). This skill runs all test levels in sequence, stopping at the first failure to allow investigation.
Prerequisites
Before running this skill, ensure:
- Oracle Instant Client is installed
- Wallet is extracted to
./walletdirectory scripts/oci-env.shexists with your OCI credentials (copy fromscripts/oci-env.sh.example)
Test Execution Order
The test suite runs in the following order, with each stage only running if the previous stage passed:
- Environment Setup - Clean and rebuild the server with Oracle support
- Unit Tests - Fast tests with no external dependencies (~5-10 seconds)
- Integration Tests (OCI) - Full Oracle ADB integration tests (~30-60 seconds)
- API Tests - Postman/Newman API test suite (~2 minutes)
- CATS Fuzzing (OCI) - Security fuzzing with CATS (~9 minutes)
Execution Instructions
Step 0: Environment Setup
First, stop any running server and clean up, then rebuild with Oracle support and start fresh:
make dev-down
make clean-everything
Build the server with Oracle support:
. scripts/oci-env.sh && go build -tags oracle -o bin/tmiserver ./cmd/server/
Start the development environment with OCI:
make dev-up DB=oracle
Wait for the server to be fully ready before proceeding. You can verify with:
curl -s http://localhost:8080/ > /dev/null && echo "Server ready"
Step 1: Unit Tests
Run unit tests (these don't use the database):
make test-unit
Analysis:
- Look for
PASSorFAILin the output - Check the final line for
ok(pass) orFAIL(failure) - If any test fails, report the failing test name(s) and error message(s)
- Stop here if any unit tests fail
Step 2: Integration Tests (OCI)
If unit tests passed, run integration tests against Oracle ADB:
make test-integration-oci
Analysis:
- Look for
PASSorFAILin the output - Check for Oracle database connection errors
- If any test fails, report the failing test name(s) and error message(s)
- Stop here if any integration tests fail
Step 3: API Tests
If integration tests passed, run API tests. The server should already be running from Step 0:
make test-api
Analysis:
- Look for Newman test results summary
- Check for
assertionspassed/failed counts - Look for
iterationsandrequestscounts - If any assertions fail, report the failing endpoint(s) and assertion(s)
- Stop here if any API tests fail
Step 4: CATS Fuzzing (OCI)
If API tests passed, run CATS security fuzzing against the OCI-backed server:
make cats-fuzz-oci
This takes approximately 9 minutes. The output will show progress through various fuzzers.
Step 5: Analyze CATS Results
make cats-fuzz-oci (Step 4) already parses and classifies results as part of the run — there is no separate parse step. Query the results database directly. The cats plugin is installed, so invoke the /cats:report skill for the full schema (tables, views, worked queries) and for ad-hoc queries; /cats:analyze triages the findings.
For a quick shape-of-the-run check without loading a skill:
make query-cats-results
That target resolves the plugin the same way /cats:* does (installed copy first, development checkout as fallback), so both run the same implementation.
Analysis:
- False positives are expected (e.g. 401/403 responses from auth tests) - these are NOT real issues
- Focus on the error and warn results in
truepositivesview(isfalsepositive = 0) - Report any actual errors by path and fuzzer
- Warnings are less critical but should be noted
Reporting Guidelines
On Success
If all tests pass, report:
- Unit tests: X tests passed
- Integration tests (OCI): X tests passed
- API tests: X assertions passed
- CATS fuzzing (OCI): X tests run, Y errors (Z false positives excluded)
On Failure
If any stage fails:
- Clearly state which stage failed (unit/integration/API/CATS)
- List the specific failing tests or endpoints
- Include relevant error messages
- Stop execution - do not proceed to later stages
- Suggest next steps for investigation
Important Notes
- Oracle Support: The server must be built with
-tags oraclefor OCI support. Themake dev-up DB=oracletarget handles this automatically. - CATS Seeding Tool: Seeding runs through
bin/tmi-dbtool, which must also be built with Oracle support.make cats-seed-oci(a prerequisite ofmake cats-fuzz-oci) callsscripts/run-dbtool.py --oci, which builds it with-tags oracleautomatically after sourcingscripts/oci-env.sh. There is no separate build target, andbin/cats-seedis a pre-migration artifact that is no longer built or used. - False positives: CATS will flag some responses (e.g. 401/403 from auth testing) as "errors" but these are expected. The rule set in
test/cats/false-positives.yamlclassifies these; matched rows are flagged via theisfalsepositivecolumn. - CATS duration: The fuzzing stage takes ~9 minutes - this is normal
- Server must be running: All tests except unit tests require the dev server (
make dev-up DB=oracle) - Redis required: API and CATS tests require Redis (
make start-redis- started automatically bydev-up DB=oracle) - No server restart during tests: The API tests and CATS fuzzing run against the already-running server; they do not restart it
Database Schema Reference
Invoke the /cats:report skill for the full results database schema — tables, views, and worked queries.
Troubleshooting
Oracle Connection Issues
If you see Oracle connection errors:
- Verify
scripts/oci-env.shhas correct credentials - Check wallet is extracted to
./wallet - Verify
DYLDLIBRARYPATHpoints to Oracle Instant Client - Check
TNS_ADMINpoints to the wallet directory
Server Fails to Start
Check the logs:
tail -50 logs/tmi.log
Common issues:
- Missing Oracle environment variables
- Wallet not found
- Database user not created in OCI ADB
