Your Helm Tests Are Green. That Doesn’t Mean They’re Testing Anything.

As a software engineer, I was always fascinated by many aspects of software engineering. Once, my college team told me about mutation tests. A test that tests not the code, but how good your tests are. At that time, I started using Stryker, a mutation framework for C#. As I started writing plenty of Helm unit tests for a Helm chart, I realized creating a tool for Helm unit tests might be a good idea. And here it is

Why give it a try?
Validates test quality: Finds blind spots in your Helm chart assertions.
Seamless integration: Built specifically to work with helm-unittest.
Higher confidence: Catches silent configuration bugs before production.

More examples and a brief description you will find in this article
