Aries Agent Test Harness

Overview

Aries Agent Test Harness (AATH) tests the interoperability of various Aries agents and frameworks. This includes Aries Cloud Agent Python (ACA-Py), Aries Framework Go, and others.

The tests are based on the appropriate protocols in Aries RFCs. Because of this, the tests are fully independent of the components being tested.

It’s extremely valuable for any developers of Aries components to build AATH testing support into their projects.
