Azure Policy Test Framework

** Important note: this repository does not have CSS support **

This repository is a command line tool for testing Azure Policies.

Usage

For each test case, the following directory structure must be created:

+-- your_test_name
|   +-- setup
|   |   +-- terraform files to setup the policy
|   +-- terraform files for test cases

Note: the definition of the policy and the content of the terraform test code is up to you. The folders policy_defintions and test aim to be used as examples. You may define policies in Json (see policy_defintions/location), in TF (any other definition), in ARM template or whatever suits your need as long as you are able to wrap it in Terraform.

Additionally, a .yaml configuration file must describe the test as following:

name: Name of the test
cases:
- variables:
  - key: variable name in TF
    value: val
  errorExpected: true
- variables:
  - key: variable name in TF
    value: val2
  errorExpected: false
terraformDir: relative path to the folder structure described above
errorMessage: Error message from Azure (ex 'Error creating Network Interface')
errorCode: Error code from Azure (ex 'Error Code=\"RequestDisallowedByPolicy\"')

To run from the source code:

go run ./cmd/policyTester/ -config ./test/ -test.v

Note: any args from the go test command are available for use. For instance:

go run ./cmd/policyTester/ -config ./test/ -test.v -test.parallel=10 -test.run Location

About Azure Policies

Azure Policy helps to enforce organizational standards and to assess compliance at-scale. Through its compliance dashboard, it provides an aggregated view to evaluate the overall state of the environment, with the ability to drill down to the per-resource, per-policy granularity. It also helps to bring your resources to compliance through bulk remediation for existing resources and automatic remediation for new resources.

Here are some resources about Azure Policies:

• Policy Effects
• Policy Aliases
