These are tests that run Suricata with a specific configuration and/or inputs and verify the outputs.
From your Suricata source directory run:
../path/to/suricata-verify/run.py
Or to run a single test:
../path/to/suricata-tests/run.py TEST-NAME
-
Create a directory that is the name of the new test.
-
Copy a single pcap file into the test directory. It must end in ".pcap".
This is enough for a basic test that will run Suricata over the pcap testing for a successful exit code.
-
Optional: Create a suricata.yaml in the test directory.
Its usually OK to just add the bits of YAML required to enable features for the test.
If the test directory does not include a suricata.yaml, the one found in your build directory will be used.
-
Add any rules required to ${dir}/test.rules.
-
Add a test.yaml descriptor file to add further control to your tests such as restricting features required for the test, and validating output.
requires:
# Require a minimum version of Suricata.
min-version: 4.1.0
# Require that the Suricata version be less than a version.

Createst is a script to create a test directory with test.yaml for a given PCAP. This needs to be run from a valid Suricata source directory.
usage: createst.py [-h] [--output-path <output-path>] [--eventtype-only]
[--allow-events [ALLOW_EVENTS]] [--rules <rules-file>]
[--strictcsums] [--min-version <min-version>]
[--midstream]
<test-name> <pcap-file>
Create tests with a given PCAP. Execute the script from a valid Suricata source
directory.
positional arguments:
<test-name> Name of the test folder
<pcap-file> Path to the PCAP file
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--rules <rules-path>
Path to rules file (optional)
--output-path <output-path>
Path to the folder where generated test.yaml should be
put
--eventtype-only Create filter blocks based on event types only
This means the subfields of the event in the eve log
will not be added to the test.yaml file
--allow-events [ALLOW_EVENTS]
Create filter blocks for the specified events
Events must be comma-separated only
This means that just the events listed will be checked
against in the test
--strictcsums Strictly validate checksum
--midstream Allow midstream session pickups
--min-version <min-version>
Adds a global minimum required version
--version <version> Adds a global version requirement
--cfg <suricata.yaml> Add a suricata.yaml to the test
--features [FEATS] Required features (comma separated list)
The only mandatory arguments for createst.py are the test name and the pcap
file. These examples show how some of the optional arguments can be used.
Create a Suricata-verify test named test-01 that runs over a pcap file called
input.pcap and that requires strict checksums, filters only on the event-types
and uses no Suricata rules:
../suricata-verify/createst.py --strictcsums --eventtype-only test-01 input.pcap
Create a Suricata-verify test named test-02 that runs over a pcap file called
input.pcap, only checks for http, alert and flow events, and
uses a rules file located in another test in the same suricata-verify folder.
It also doesn't require strict checksums and will run only for versions 6 and
newer:
../suricata-verify/createst.py --min-version 6 --allow-events http,alert,flow \
--rules ../suricata-verify/tests/no-payload-output/test.rules test-02 input.pcap
../suricata-verify/createst.py --features HAVE_LUA
../suricata-verify/createst.py --features HAVE_LUA,AF_PACKET
The features are taken from the Features: line in suricata --build-info.
