Description

In the tap SDK, we introduced a --test operation which ensures connectivity and which could be expanded to include other tests as well.

It could be helpful to develop a common convention for similar testing across taps and targets.

These tests could include validations such as:

  • setting validation
  • catalog validation
  • connectivity tests
  • stream record generation for n records
  • confirm records match json schema

Research direction

Review the tap SDK's existing --test operation and the proposed validation areas: settings, catalogs, connectivity, record generation, and JSON Schema matching. Compare how taps and targets currently handle these checks, then define and document a common convention and its scope.
