Integration of FAST with Bamboo

The integration of FAST in CI MODE into the Bamboo workflow can be configured using one of the methods below:

The example below uses the YAML specification to configure the integration.

Passing FAST Node Token

To securely use the FAST node token, pass its value in the Bamboo global variable.

Passing Bamboo global variable

Configured workflow

Further instructions require already configured workflow that corresponds to one of the following points:

Adding the Step of Request Recording

To implement the request recording, apply the following settings to the job of automated application testing:

  1. Add the command running FAST Docker container in the CI_MODE=recording mode with other required variables before the command running automated tests. For example:

    docker run --name fast -d -e WALLARM_API_TOKEN=${bamboo_WALLARM_API_TOKEN} -e CI_MODE=recording -e WALLARM_API_HOST=us1.api.wallarm.com -e ALLOWED_HOSTS=dvwa -p 8080:8080 --network my-network --rm wallarm/fast
    
  2. Configure proxying of automated tests via FAST node. For example:

    docker run --rm -d --name selenium -e http_proxy='http://fast:8080' --network my-network selenium/standalone-firefox:latest
    

Docker Network

Before recording requests, make sure that the FAST node and the tool for automated testing are running on the same network.

Example of the automated testing step with running FAST node in the recording mode
test:
key: TST
tasks:
    - script:
        interpreter: /bin/sh
        scripts:
        - docker network create my-network
        - docker run --rm --name dvwa -d --network my-network wallarm/fast-example-dvwa-base
        - docker run --name fast -d -e WALLARM_API_TOKEN=${bamboo_WALLARM_API_TOKEN} -e CI_MODE=recording -e WALLARM_API_HOST=us1.api.wallarm.com -e ALLOWED_HOSTS=dvwa -p 8080:8080 --network my-network --rm wallarm/fast
        - docker run --rm -d --name selenium -e http_proxy='http://fast:8080' --network my-network selenium/standalone-firefox:latest
        - docker run --rm --name tests --network my-network wallarm/fast-example-dvwa-tests
        - docker stop selenium fast

An example includes the following steps:

  1. Create the Docker network my-network.
  2. Run the test app dvwa on the my-network network.
  3. Run the FAST node in the recording mode on the network my-network.
  4. Run the tool for automated testing Selenium with FAST node as a proxy on the network my-network.
  5. Run the automated tests on the network my-network.
  6. Stop the tool for automated testing Selenium and FAST node in the recording mode.

Adding the Step of Security Testing

To implement the security testing, add the corresponding separate step to your workflow following instructions:

  1. If the test application is not running, then add the command to run the application.

  2. Add the command running the FAST Docker container in the CI_MODE=testing mode with other required variables after the command running the application.

    Using the recorded set of baseline requests

    If the set of baseline requests was recorded in another pipeline, specify the record ID in the TEST_RECORD_ID variable. Otherwise, the last recorded set will be used.

    Example of the command:

    docker run --name fast -e WALLARM_API_TOKEN=${bamboo_WALLARM_API_TOKEN} -e CI_MODE=testing -e WALLARM_API_HOST=us1.api.wallarm.com -p 8080:8080 -e TEST_RUN_URI=http://dvwa:80 --network my-network --rm wallarm/fast
    

Docker Network

Before security testing, make sure that the FAST node and the test application are running on the same network.

Example of the security testing step

The commands are running on the my-network network created at the request recording step. The test app, app-test, is also running at the request recording step.

  1. Add security_testing to the list of stages. In the example, this step finalizes the workflow.

    stages:
    - testing:
        manual: false
        jobs:
            - test
    - security_testing:
        final: true
        jobs:
            - security_test
    
  2. Define the body of the new job security_test.

    security_test:
    key: SCTST
    tasks:
        - script:
            interpreter: /bin/sh
            scripts:
            - docker run --name fast -e WALLARM_API_TOKEN=${bamboo_WALLARM_API_TOKEN} -e CI_MODE=testing -e WALLARM_API_HOST=us1.api.wallarm.com -p 8080:8080 -e TEST_RUN_URI=http://dvwa:80 --network my-network --rm wallarm/fast 
            - docker stop dvwa
            - docker network rm my-network
    

An example includes the following steps:

  1. Run the FAST node in the testing mode on the network my-network. The TEST_RECORD_ID variable is omitted since the set of baseline requests was created in the current pipeline and is the last recorded. The FAST node will be stopped automatically when testing is finished.
  2. Stop the test application dvwa.
  3. Delete the my-network network.

Getting the Result of Testing

The result of security testing will be displayed in the build logs in Bamboo UI. Also, Bamboo allows downloading the full .log file.
