## What it is
A set of Test Kitchen plugins that enable converging Terraform configurations and verifying the resulting infrastructure with InSpec controls. It is published as a Ruby gem and integrates Terraform's CLI into a Test Kitchen workflow.

## Use cases
- test terraform configurations with test kitchen
- verify infrastructure provisioned by terraform with inspec
- converge terraform modules in a test kitchen workflow
- integration testing for infrastructure as code
- run inspec controls against terraform-provisioned systems

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - the project is deprecated and archived as of October 2024
- you use Terraform 1.6 or later - HashiCorp's native test framework is the recommended replacement
- you need actively maintained tooling or support for modern Terraform or Ruby versions
