The v0.1.0 release notes describe the initial release as separate from KUDO, with mocked, KinD, and kubeconfig-backed control planes plus library integration and solo E2E execution. ### Adoption history KUTTL became part of the Kubernetes operator testing toolkit because it let operator authors write YAML-centered tests that apply resources, wait for assertions, and run against real or local control planes. The repository topics and README connect it to Kubernetes, operators, KUDO, and Operator SDK. ### How it is used Users install it as the `kubectl kuttl` plugin and run suites with `kubectl kuttl test path/to/test-suite`. The getting-started docs require Kubernetes and kubectl 1.13 or later, and the repository includes `kuttl-test.yaml` as the conventional suite configuration file. ### Why package nerds care KUTTL is package-nerd relevant because it packages a Kubernetes-specific test runner as a kubectl plugin. It sits at the border between CLI packaging, cluster lifecycle tooling, and declarative test fixtures. ### Timeline - v0.1.0: Initial release separated KUTTL from KUDO and added multiple test control-plane modes. - v0.4.0: Switched APIs to kuttl.dev/v1beta and deprecated kudo.dev support. - v0.26.0: Added namespace collision fixes and noted Homebrew formula-to-cask migration feedback. ### Related projects - KUTTL is related to KUDO, kubectl plugins, Kubernetes operators, KinD, and Operator SDK scorecard-style testing workflows. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal. - **Geiger risk:** orange / medium - infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
