Query Testing Framework

DESCRIPTION

Query testing framework is a library which allows one to test a dataset of queries against a search engine. The focus is on the handling the tokens specific to different languages (word delimiters, special characters, morphemes, etc...). Different datasets are maintained in google spreadsheets, which can be easily populated by the testers. This library then reads the datasets, runs the tests against the search engine and publishes the results. For more details, see the

SETUP

To set up the google spreadsheets dataset, as well as the instructions for Solr and Elasticsearch setup/configurations see this document:

DATA MAINTENANCE

The deletion of any data was removed from the module by design. When the dataset is updated (e.g. new tests are run), the search engine stale dataset removal is the developer responsibility.
