Test Blueprint
Deploy a blueprint to a real environment, verify it works, run test scenarios, and clean up.
Usage
code
/test-blueprint [blueprint-path] [--keep] [--screenshots]
Options:
- •
--keep: Don't destroy resources after testing (for manual inspection) - •
--screenshots: Capture screenshots of the Aviatrix Control Plane for documentation
Prerequisites
This skill requires:
- •Playwright MCP server configured and running (optional, for screenshots)
- •Valid terraform.tfvars with real credentials
- •Aviatrix Control Plane (Controller and CoPilot) accessible from the test environment
- •Cloud provider credentials configured
What This Skill Does
- •Pre-flight checks - Validates configuration before deployment
- •Deploy - Runs
terraform apply - •Verify in Controller - Uses Playwright to check resources in UI
- •Run test scenarios - Executes tests defined in README
- •Capture evidence - Screenshots for documentation
- •Cleanup - Runs
terraform destroy - •Verify cleanup - Confirms no orphaned resources
Test Workflow
Phase 1: Pre-flight
code
Checking prerequisites... ✅ terraform.tfvars exists ✅ Controller reachable at 10.0.0.1 ✅ AWS credentials valid ✅ Required quotas available
Phase 2: Deploy
code
Deploying blueprint... terraform init... done terraform plan... 23 resources to create terraform apply... Creating resources: aws_vpc.transit... created aws_vpc.spoke_1... created aviatrix_transit_gateway.main... created (3m 45s) aviatrix_spoke_gateway.spoke_1... created (2m 30s) ... ✅ Deployment complete (8m 23s)
Phase 3: Verify in Control Plane
Uses Playwright to:
- •Log into the Aviatrix Control Plane
- •Navigate to Cloud Fabric > Gateways
- •Verify transit gateway appears and is UP
- •Verify spoke gateways appear and are UP
- •Check attachments are established
- •Navigate to CoPilot topology (if applicable)
- •Verify architecture matches diagram
code
Verifying in Control Plane... ✅ Transit gateway 'dcf-eks-transit' status: UP ✅ Spoke gateway 'dcf-eks-spoke-1' status: UP ✅ Spoke gateway 'dcf-eks-spoke-2' status: UP ✅ Transit-spoke attachment verified ✅ CoPilot topology shows correct architecture
Phase 4: Run Test Scenarios
Executes test scenarios from the blueprint README:
code
Running test scenarios... Scenario 1: East-West Connectivity → SSH to spoke-1 test instance → Ping spoke-2 private IP ✅ Ping successful (latency: 2.3ms) Scenario 2: DCF Inspection → Generate traffic between spokes → Check CoPilot > Security > DCF Monitor ✅ Traffic appears in DCF logs ✅ Correct policy applied Scenario 3: Internet Egress → SSH to spoke instance → curl https://api.ipify.org ✅ Egress through NAT gateway confirmed
Phase 5: Capture Evidence
If --screenshots is enabled:
code
Capturing screenshots... 📸 controller-topology.png 📸 copilot-flowiq.png 📸 dcf-monitor.png 📸 gateway-status.png
Phase 6: Cleanup
code
Destroying resources... terraform destroy... Destroying resources: aviatrix_spoke_gateway.spoke_2... destroyed aviatrix_spoke_gateway.spoke_1... destroyed aviatrix_transit_gateway.main... destroyed aws_vpc.spoke_1... destroyed ... ✅ Destroy complete (5m 12s)
Phase 7: Verify Cleanup
code
Verifying cleanup... ✅ No VPCs with blueprint tag found ✅ No gateways in Control Plane ✅ No orphaned EIPs ✅ Cleanup verified
Instructions for Claude
When this skill is invoked:
1. Pre-flight Checks
bash
# Verify tfvars exists
test -f terraform.tfvars
# Test Controller connectivity
curl -k https://${CONTROLLER_IP}/v1/api
# Verify cloud credentials
aws sts get-caller-identity
2. Deploy
bash
terraform init terraform plan -out=tfplan terraform apply tfplan
Monitor for errors and capture output.
3. Verify with Playwright
Use Playwright MCP to:
- •Open browser to Controller URL
- •Log in with provided credentials
- •Navigate to relevant pages
- •Verify resources exist and are healthy
- •Take screenshots if requested
4. Run Test Scenarios
Parse the README's "Test Scenarios" section and execute each one:
- •SSH commands via Bash
- •UI verifications via Playwright
- •API calls via curl
5. Cleanup
bash
terraform destroy -auto-approve
6. Verify Cleanup
Check for orphaned resources:
bash
# AWS example aws ec2 describe-vpcs --filters "Name=tag:Blueprint,Values=<name>"
Use Playwright to verify nothing remains in the Control Plane.

Error Handling
If any phase fails:
- •Deployment fails: Capture error, attempt cleanup, report failure
- •Verification fails: Continue with tests, note discrepancy
- •Test fails: Log failure, continue other tests, include in report
- •Cleanup fails: Report orphaned resources, provide manual cleanup steps
