First, set up the bot in the Social-Bot-Framework.
Both the bot model and the NLU training data can be found in the bot-model
directory.
The bot uses a backend service which is included in this repository.
The easiest way to use the service is to build (or pull) the Docker image and run the service as a container.
The bot can be used in different ways and on different platforms:
If the bot is a member of a RocketChat channel that is linked to a CAE project, test cases can be modeled via chat. The bot can be triggered by sending a message such as "model a test". As soon as the modeling is completed, the test case is forwarded to the CAE and proposed there in the Test Editor.
Dependencies:
The bot may be used within GitHub repositories by connecting it to a GitHub app.
Therefore, the app id and a private key are required.
Please note that the private key needs to be converted from PKCS#1 to PKCS#8.
In the bot model, the Authentication Token
of the GitHub issue or pull request messenger needs to be set to [App Id]:[App Private Key]
.
Use the private key in PKCS#8 format, but remove the first and last line before copying it.
Also, set the webhook URL of the app to .../apitestingbot/github/webhook/{gitHubAppId}
.
Then, the bot can be triggered within issues/pull requests by sending a message such as "model a test". Once a test case has been modeled, the bot generates Java JUnit test code and comments it.
In pull requests, the bot may also propose spec-based test cases if it can access the developed service's OpenAPI documentation. Read the repository adjustment guide for more information.
Dependencies:
Depending on the use case different environment variables are required:

Yes |
CODEX_API_TOKEN |
Token for accessing the OpenAI/Codex API. | Yes |
CAE_BACKEND_URL |
REST API URL of CAE Model Persistence Service ending with /CAE . |
