YARA Tests

To ensure the correct installation and configuration of YARA and Wazuh, we have implemented a set of automated tests. These tests verify the presence and proper configuration of essential components such as users, groups, configuration files, and installed packages.

For a detailed description of these tests and how to execute them, please refer to the YARA Tests README.

GitHub Actions

The repository includes a GitHub Actions workflow that automatically runs the tests on every push or pull request. This helps maintain the integrity of the system by validating the setup continuously.
