Elasticsearch and Shield use jUnit for testing, they also use randomness
in the tests, that can be set using a seed, please refer to the
Elasticsearch TESTING.asciidoc cheatsheet to know all about it.
Tests are executed with network transport and unicast discovery, as this is
the configuration that's secured by shield.
== Testing the REST layer
The available integration tests are specific for Shield functionalities
and make use of the java API to communicate with the elasticsearch nodes,
using the internal binary transport (port 9300 by default).
Shield is also tested using the REST tests provided by Elasticsearch core,
just by running those same tests against a cluster with Shield installed.
The REST tests are not run automatically when executing the maven test
command as they require some additional configuration. In order to run them
you need to checkout the Elasticsearch core project and configure its
location through system properties. Also, a blacklist is needed as some of
the tests are known to fail against shield due to different behaviours
introduced by the security plugin.
