# Terraform Test
Terraform's built-in testing framework validates that configuration updates don't introduce breaking changes. Tests run against temporary resources, protecting existing infrastructure and state files.
## Reference Files
- `references/MOCK_PROVIDERS.md` — Mock provider syntax, common defaults, when to use mocks (Terraform 1.7.0+ only — skip if the user's version is below 1.7)
- `references/CI_CD.md` — GitHub Actions and GitLab CI pipeline examples
- `references/EXAMPLES.md` — Complete example test suite (unit, integration, and mock tests for a VPC module)
Read the relevant reference file when the user asks about mocking, CI/CD integration, or wants a full example.
