Testing

# install dependencies, etc.
make bootstrap

make test

This will run:

• flake8 for code styling
• isort for import styling
• pytest for the test suite

On GitHub, in addition to these tests, we run:

• bandit for code security
• pip-audit for dependency vulnerabilities
• OWASP for dynamic scanning

CI testing

We're using GitHub Actions. See /.github for the configuration.

In addition to commit-triggered scans, the daily_checks.yml workflow runs the relevant dependency audits, static scan, and/or dynamic scans at 10am UTC each day. Developers will be notified of failures in daily scans by GitHub notifications.

Manual testing

If you're checking out the system locally, you may want to create a user quickly.

pipenv run flask command create-test-user

This will run an interactive prompt to create a user, and then mark that user as active. Use a real mobile number if you want to log in, as the SMS auth code will be sent here.

To run a local OWASP scan

1. Run make run-flask from within the dev container.
2. On your host machine run:

docker run -v $(pwd):/zap/wrk/:rw --network="notify-network" -t owasp/zap2docker-weekly zap-api-scan.py -t http://dev:6011/_status -f openapi -c zap.conf
