Test launchers

Test launchers let you configure and start Antithesis tests from the webapp. If you prefer to work from a command line, our webhook provides the same functionality.

You can also automate your testing with GitHub actions.

Test parameters

Antithesis tests are all configurable using a standard set of parameters. Clicking on a test launcher opens a dialogue box with the available parameters for that test.

You must provide values for parameters in the main dialogue in order to launch the test. Less frequently used parameters are hidden in fold-down menus. All parameters come with sensible default values pre-filled where possible.

If you’d like to receive the triage report by email, make sure to specify a report recipient – the report is always accessible in the web app.

You can also configure a test in the launcher, then copy the webhook code with one click.

Creating new tests

Every Antithesis tenant comes with several pre-written tests.

New tests can be added to customize elements like the hostility of the test environment, which containers are exposed to faults, or the types of faults injected.

Your Antithesis team can help you with this process. Please contact us at support@antithesis.com or ask on our Discord.

Once the test is created, you’ll be able to configure and launch it with a test launcher, from command line, or automate it with a github action.
