Print Plaso --version integration
Name and Version
Chart Name: osdfir-infrastructure Chart Version: (found in Chart.yaml) /workspaces/osdfir-infrastructure/charts/osdfir-infrastructure/Chart.yaml
What is the problem this feature will solve?
Currently, there is no clear indication of which Plaso version is executed during the integration tests. This lack of version visibility can hinder troubleshooting, reproducibility, and auditability, especially when test results or failures may be influenced by differences between Plaso releases. By not recording the version, it becomes challenging for maintainers and users to correlate test outcomes with specific software versions, potentially leading to confusion and inefficiencies in diagnosing issues. Introducing a mechanism to print the Plaso version at the start of the integration test script will ensure that every test run is traceable to a specific Plaso release, thereby improving transparency, reliability, and maintainability of the testing process.
What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?
The proposed feature is to add a print statement at the beginning of the integration test script that displays the Plaso version being used. This will ensure that every test run records and communicates the exact Plaso release, improving traceability, reproducibility, and ease of troubleshooting for all users and maintainers.
What alternatives have you considered?
Alternatives considered include:
Manually documenting the Plaso version used for each test run in a separate log or README file. Using environment variables or configuration files to specify and record the Plaso version. Implementing automated dependency/version management tools to track software versions. However, these approaches are less reliable and more error-prone compared to directly printing the version in the test script output.
