Description

This is an example of my proposed directory structure:

• invalid_schemas/
  • broken.json
  • wrong.json
• valid_data/
  • foo_test/
    • schema.json
    • json_data/
      • valid_json_test_data.json
      • more_valid_json_test_data.json
    • binary_data/
      • valid_binary_test_data.bin
      • more_test_data.bin
  • bar_test/
    • schema.json
    • json_data/
      • ...
• invalid_data/
  • baz_test/
    • schema.json
    • json_data/
      • ...
    • binary_data/
      • ...

This structure supports positive and negative tests for avro schemas, json data and binary data.

• The "invalid_schema" directory holds a number of invalid schemas that should fail to parse.
• The "valid_data" directory has a number of self-contained tests in separate directories. Each test directory is required to have a "schema.json" file that valid avro schema. The "json_data" and "binary_data" directories are optional for each test.
• The "invalid_data" directory has the same rules as the "valid_data" directory. The data files should fail during tests (negative testing).
