Tier 3 E2E Tests Implementation - Complete Session Summary

Date: 2026-01-27
Status: 🔄 IN PROGRESS (9/21 scenarios, 43% complete)
Achievement: Significant progress on Tier 3 tests with focus on security, timers, and multi-tenancy


Executive Summary

Successfully continued implementation of Tier 3 End-to-End Tests for the Attune automation platform. Completed 9 out of 21 scenarios with 26 comprehensive test functions (~4,300 lines of code). This session added 3 additional scenarios to the initial 6, focusing on:

  • Rule criteria filtering (event-based conditional execution)
  • Timer cancellation and lifecycle management
  • Multiple concurrent timers (performance and precision)
  • Multi-tenant pack isolation (system vs user packs)

Session Achievements

Tests Implemented This Session (3 new scenarios, 11 tests)

1. T3.5: Webhook with Rule Criteria Filtering

File: test_t3_05_rule_criteria.py (507 lines, 4 tests)

Advanced rule filtering based on event payload using Jinja2 expressions.

Test Functions:

  • test_rule_criteria_basic_filtering - Equality checks (level == 'info')
  • test_rule_criteria_numeric_comparison - Numeric operators (>, <, >=, <=)
  • test_rule_criteria_complex_expressions - Complex AND/OR boolean logic

Key Features Validated:

  • Jinja2 expression evaluation in rule criteria
  • Event filtering by payload attributes
  • Numeric comparisons and ranges
  • Complex boolean logic (AND/OR conditions)
  • List membership checks
  • Only matching rules create executions
  • Non-matching events filtered out

Use Cases:

Technical Implementation Highlights

1. Rule Criteria Filtering

Jinja2 Expression Engine:

# Equality
criteria: "{{ trigger.payload.level == 'info' }}"

# Numeric comparison
criteria: "{{ trigger.payload.priority >= 7 }}"

# Complex boolean logic
criteria: "{{ (trigger.payload.level == 'error' and trigger.payload.priority > 5) 
           or trigger.payload.environment == 'production' }}"

# List membership
criteria: "{{ trigger.payload.status in ['critical', 'urgent', 'high'] }}"

Test Design:

  • Tests all common operators (==, !=, >, <, >=, <=)
  • Tests boolean logic (AND, OR, NOT)
  • Tests list membership (in operator)
  • Validates only matching rules fire
  • Confirms non-matching events filtered out

2. Timer Cancellation

State Transitions:

enabled → disabled: executions stop
disabled → enabled: executions resume
enabled → deleted: executions stop permanently

Test Design:

  • Create timer with rule enabled
  • Wait for executions to confirm timer working
  • Disable rule, verify no new executions
  • Re-enable rule, verify executions resume
  • Delete rule, verify permanent stop
  • Allow tolerance for in-flight executions (±1)

3. Concurrent Timers

Test Scenarios:

  • 3 timers with different intervals (3s, 5s, 7s)
  • 5 identical timers (stress test)
  • Precision validation under concurrent load

Validation Approach:

# Expected execution count formula
expected = test_duration / interval

# Example: 21 seconds / 3 second interval = 7 executions
# Allow ±1 tolerance for timing variations

assert expected - 1 <= actual <= expected + 1

Key Metrics:

  • Execution count accuracy: ±1 execution
  • Timing precision: max delta ≤ 1 under load
  • No interference between timers
  • No timer drift over time

4. Multi-Tenant Pack Isolation

Security Model:

System Packs:
  - tenant_id = NULL
  - system = true
  - Visible to ALL tenants
  - Executable by ALL users
  - Cannot be deleted by regular users

User Packs:
  - tenant_id = <specific tenant>
  - Visible ONLY to owning tenant
  - Full CRUD access by owner
  - Returns 404/403 for cross-tenant access

Test Design:

  • User 1 creates pack, User 2 cannot see it
  • User 2 tries direct access → 404/403
  • Both users see system packs (core)
  • Both users can execute system pack actions
  • No overlap in custom pack listings
