Tests a registered extension to make sure it meets all necessary requirements for being published in the CloudFormation registry.
-
For resource types, this includes passing all contracts tests defined for the type.
-
For modules, this includes determining if the module's model meets all necessary requirements.
For more information, see Testing your public extension prior to publishing in the CloudFormation CLI User Guide.
If you don't specify a version, CloudFormation uses the default version of the extension in your account and region for testing.
To perform testing, CloudFormation assumes the execution role specified when the type was registered. For more information, see RegisterType.
Once you've initiated testing on an extension using TestType, you can pass the returned TypeVersionArn into DescribeType to monitor the current test status and test status description for the extension.
An extension must have a test status of PASSED before it can be published. For more information, see Publishing extensions to make them available for public use in the CloudFormation CLI User Guide.

<p>The S3 bucket to which CloudFormation delivers the contract test execution logs.</p> <p>CloudFormation delivers the logs by the time contract testing has completed and the extension has been assigned a test type status of <code>PASSED</code> or <code>FAILED</code>.</p> <p>The user calling <code>TestType</code> must be able to access items in the specified S3 bucket. Specifically, the user needs the following permissions:</p> <ul> <li> <p> <code>GetObject</code> </p> </li> <li> <p> <code>PutObject</code> </p> </li> </ul> <p>For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/service-authorization/latest/reference/list_amazons3.html">Actions, Resources, and Condition Keys for Amazon S3</a> in the <i>Amazon Web Services Identity and Access Management User Guide</i>.</p>
