history
Project history and usage
KUTTL, the KUbernetes Test TooL, is a kubectl plugin and Go project for declarative testing of Kubernetes operators and other Kubernetes objects.
Project history
KUTTL began under the KUDO project and then split into its own release stream. 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.
