Overview

This repository contains one solution: QaaS.Framework.sln.

The solution is split into focused NuGet packages (SDK, protocols, policies, configuration, providers, serialization, infrastructure, and execution orchestration) so you can consume only what you need.

Functionalities

QaaS.Framework.Configurations

• Loads configuration from YAML files (local file system and HTTP GET sources).
• Resolves placeholders and collapses custom configuration path syntax.
• Binds IConfiguration into strongly typed objects (including nested lists/dictionaries).
• Recursively validates configurations with DataAnnotations and custom validation attributes.
• Resolves shared references from external YAML files into target configuration lists.

QaaS.Framework.SDK

• Defines the core hook contracts: IHook, IGenerator, IAssertion, IProbe, IProcessor, and transaction processors.
• Provides runtime context and execution/session data models.
• Includes DataSourceBuilder and serialization-aware session data conversion helpers.
• Adds extension methods for context/data/session/logging workflows.

QaaS.Framework.Serialization

• Serializer/deserializer factories with pluggable types.
• Supported serialization types: Binary, Json, MessagePack, Xml, Yaml, ProtobufMessage, XmlElement.
• Supports per-message type hints via SpecificTypeConfig.

QaaS.Framework.Protocols

• Factories for protocol abstractions: IReader, ISender, ITransactor, IFetcher, chunked variants.
• Protocol implementations for messaging, storage, SQL, HTTP, gRPC, and observability systems.
• Includes object-name generation strategies and protocol-specific configuration objects.

QaaS.Framework.Policies

• Chain-of-responsibility policy model (Policy, PolicyBuilder).
• Rate and stop control policies: Count, Timeout, LoadBalance, IncreasingLoadBalance, AdvancedLoadBalance.
• Stage-based load balancing with per-stage amount/timeout transitions.

QaaS.Framework.Providers

• Dynamically discovers hook implementations in loaded assemblies.
• Creates hook instances by type name and validates loaded hook configuration.
• Includes Autofac module support for provider wiring.

QaaS.Framework.Executions

• Base abstractions for execution runtime and execution builders.
• CLI parser/help builders (via CommandLineParser).
• Loader pipeline for options validation and Serilog logger construction (including optional Elastic sink).

QaaS.Framework.Infrastructure

• Shared filesystem utilities (safe directory-name normalization).
• Date/time conversion helpers with daylight-saving-aware offset conversion.

Protocol Support
