Continuous Testing Using Containers

Containers: Every manager thinks they want them, but few teams have experience in knowing what to actually do with them. Used thoughtfully, containerization of your services can transform the way your organization thinks about testing. Gone are the days of maintaining X different compute environments with Y different configurations. Imagine instead spinning up just the code you need, on the machine type it needs, and only for as long as you need it. In this technical, interactive tutorial, Melissa Benua will walk through what containerization means for an agile codebase attempting to practice continuous integration and deployment, and provide key insight into the sea change this provides for an agile-operating organization. Learn from practical, real-world examples about how testing practices and pipelines can be streamlined to take advantage of the ad hoc world of containerization. Come away with a real integration test strategy that can reduce your team’s cycle times by an order of magnitude while increasing overall product quality. Unlock the power of testing with containers!
