The TestDriver action is open source. You can find the source below.
TestDriver tests are executed on private virtual machines managed by Amazon EC2. These VMs are ephemeral meaning they only exist for the lifetime of the test execution. After the test completes, the VM is destroyed and the hard disk is wiped.
Any secrets supplied within Prerun Scripts or prompts will be transmitted over SSL to our API. Secrets supplied to agent prompts will be persisted (see Agent), but prerun scripts are not persisted.
If your workflow is blocked by secret sharing, please contact us.
A common workflow is to use Prerun Scripts to access a private staging website via basic auth. This will allow you to securely log into staging without persisting sensitive data on our servers.
Testing production is the best starting point!
Testing production resources does not require any private information from your team. Simply provide the tests to TestDriver and point toward your publicly available endpoints. TestDriver does not need access to any private information.
Depending on your implementation, TestDriver may need secure information to test staging environments. See Secretsabove for more information on securely implementing tests on staging.
TestDriver can clone feature branches and build code on it's virtual machines using a similar workflow to GitHub runners.
In order for TestDriver to test development branches of private codebases, it's necessary to supply a GitHub Token within the GitHub action. This personal access token is used to clone the codebase on the VM.
We recommend storing any private information as a secret in your GitHub repository. .
This token is transmitted over SSL and is not persisted.
