David McDonald e62cee391a Testing: Adds validation of vol3 imports in check script
This checks `ast.ImportFrom` statements to see if anything other than
modules are being imported in this way. It enumerates all instances of
this and suggests a fix.

Volatility 3 Testing Framework

Requirements

The Volatility 3 Testing Framework requires the same version of Python as Volatility 3 itself. To install the current set of dependencies that the framework requires, use a command like this:

pip3 install -e .[test]

Quick Start: Manual Testing

  1. To test Volatility 3 on an image, first download one with a command such as:
curl -sLO "https://downloads.volatilityfoundation.org/volatility3/images/win-xp-laptop-2005-06-25.img.gz"
gunzip win-xp-laptop-2005-06-25.img.gz
  1. In many cases, more symbols are required to be downloaded to the ./volatility3/symbols directory.

  2. To manually run the tests, run a command, such as:

py.test ./test/test_volatility.py --volatility=vol.py --image win-xp-laptop-2005-06-25.img -k test_windows

The above command runs all available tests for windows on the win-xp-laptop-2005-06-25.img image. To choose a more specific set of tests, change the phrase after -k in this command.

Github Actions

This framework currently tests two images (one linux image and one windows image) after every push on any branch. For more information/context, find the actions setup in ./github/workflows/test.yaml
