User Story

As an OSCAL developer, in order to sufficiently understand and rely on the profile resolution specification, I want access to a test suite I can use with a profile resolve implementation to show conformance with the specification.

Goals

This is a spike where we will determine the path forward for #1087.

• Review the draft PR with tests for the specification linked to 1087 with @wendellpiez.
  • Configure the unit tests on your workstation, use them, understand their mechanics.
• Work with assigned teammates to design an approach to link the specification tests (as written and the results of their specifcation) to the itemized specification requirements
• Design a method for integrating the execution of the tests in our CI/CD pipeline

Dependencies

No response

Acceptance Criteria

• An ADR that documents profile resolution testing method and documents future integration into our CI/CD pipeline is created, reviewed, and merged here by the end of the sprint
• A written or verbal presentation to the NIST OSCAL Team with findings from the analysis to be presented before or during sprint review
• One or more issues added to the backlog for any actionable findings from the report the team can integrate into website enhancements, either before or during sprint review
