# backbone-adapter-testsuite

Gherkin feature definitions and fixtures to run against all language ports of the backbone-adapter. 

## Contents 

### /features 

Gherkin `.feature` files describing a suite of tests which 
should be run against all language ports of the adapter 

### /fixtures

A set of fixtures to be used to configure the tests.

## Implementations 

You can see existing implementations of the test suite here 

- [JS-Cucumber](https://git.noc.ac.uk/communications-backbone-system/backbone-adapter-javascript) 
Step definitions are in `test/cucumber`

## Installing

The intention is to install a tagged version of the testsuite into each adapter so that if we develop 
the testsuite existing adapter implementations won't break. 

In JS the target tag/branch/commit is specified with # after the git url
