ElasticSearch Nodejs Express Automated Testing

Question

How to implement automated test for ElasticSearch using Node testing framework?

I want to implement ElasticSearch into my nodejs Project for efficient searching abilities, which is using Express framework , frisby, Socket.io etc. ElasticSearch nodejs implementation is easily available on google but not it's automation testing. Need Suggestions.

I found a solution for this, previously, i used the Mysql database instead of ElasticSearch and wrote functional test cases according to Mysql database. Now when I replaced the Mysql with ElasticSearch, the written test cases should not be fail. I thought that this will be the procedure for testing the elasticsearch that it will not effected our system and it assure that it is correctly implemented — Atif Hussain

You can use Jasmine or Mocha as testing frameworks for Node.js. Within the test suites you can use another library: superagent.

Superagent allows you to perform HTTP requests to a specified url.

On the other hand you have an elasticsearch that receives HTTP requests.

You can have a library of data sets in the form of http requests to issue towards elasticsearch. Each data set will be suitable to feed elasticsearch to check wether or not a test passes or fails.

Here is an example of how superagent can be used to issue a request to an elasticsearch server:

var request = require('superagent');
var should = require('should.js');

describe('Your test suite', function () {
    it('Should test elasticsearch search', function (done) {
      request.get('http://localhost:9002/index/type/_search')
        .end(function (err, res) {
          should.not.exist(err);
          should.exist(res);
        });
    });
});

I can do the samething using frisby which i have already integrated.

Yes, didn't notice you have frisby available. The methodology is still valid though.
