🧪 apt-ostree Testing Strategy

🎯 Overview

This document outlines the comprehensive testing strategy for apt-ostree, covering unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and CI/CD integration. The testing approach ensures reliability, compatibility with rpm-ostree, and production readiness.

🏗️ Testing Architecture

Testing Pyramid

    let regular_user = 1000;
    let result = manager.check_privilege_escalation(regular_user, "root").await;
    assert!(result.is_err()); // Should fail
