Conftest allows developers to validate infrastructure and application configurations for compliance with security policies. It supports Open Policy Agent and is flexible and extensible.
Use this profile to understand the building block briefly, place it in the model, and open related building blocks.
Usable application software: supports people in a task.
Concrete cog in the system that works inside larger relationships.
Conftest is a testing tool from Open Policy Agent that checks configuration files against policies and reports violations as test results.
Conftest grew in the Open Policy Agent ecosystem from the need to check infrastructure and application configuration against policies early. It is developed today as an open-source tool in the OPA ecosystem.
Conftest works like an inspection bench: a configuration file goes in, Rego policies provide the checks, and passed or violated rules come out.
States a checkable requirement for configurations.
Expresses the rules used by OPA to compute decisions.
Shows which rules passed or were violated.
Conftest moves policy checks into CI/CD and exposes configuration errors before rollout; teams still own rule maintenance and the business assessment of exceptions.
