Write end-to-end tests for the Datadog Agent using the test/e2e-framework/ framework. Parse $ARGUMENTS to determine what to test.

Where to find what you need

WhatWhere
Framework API (environments, provisioners, agentparams)test/e2e-framework/AGENTS.md
Fakeintake API (payload types, client methods, extending)test/fakeintake/AGENTS.md
Setup, prerequisites, running testsdocs/public/how-to/test/e2e.md
Real tests to use as patternstest/new-e2e/tests/ (see lookup table in e2e-framework AGENTS.md)
Check system overviewroot AGENTS.md § "Check System"
Test placement / team ownershipCODEOWNERS

CI trigger rules.gitlab-ci.yml (search for .on_*_or_e2e_changes)
Examplestest/new-e2e/examples/

Read the first two files before writing any test. Browse examples and a few real tests that match your use case.

Checklist

  1. Read the feature's implementation to understand what payloads it sends
  2. Check if E2E tests already exist under test/new-e2e/tests/
  3. Place tests in the right <area> directory (check CODEOWNERS); one file per platform target (e.g., disk_nix_test.go, disk_win_test.go)
  4. Verify compilation: cd test/new-e2e && go vet ./tests/<area>/...
  5. Run the test locally before pushing — compilation alone is not enough: dda inv new-e2e-tests.run --targets=./tests/<area>/... See test/e2e-framework/AGENTS.md § "Validating E2E tests" if it fails
  6. Check CI wiring: grep -n 'TARGETS:.*<area>' .gitlab/test/e2e/e2e.yml

Output

Show the user: files created, how to compile-check, how to run locally (dda inv new-e2e-tests.run --targets=./tests/<area>/...), and whether CI changes are needed.
