Build, Provision, Deploy, Test, Repeat: Why Automation and Control are critical for your Testing Centric DevOps Tool-chain
Presented by:
- Modern development practices demand an integrated approach to development, provisioning, testing and deployment. Integrating build, provisioning, deployment and testing tools can take significant effort and be highly complex, with all dependencies needing to be tested as frequently as possible to keep QA current. And all this across multiple technology stacks: Java, .Net, Node JS, Java Script etc.
- Integrating CI tools like Jenkins with provisioning tools such as Chef, Puppet or cloud based solutions like AWS isn’t trivial, add application automation and test automation and complexities continue to increase. Testers need the latest build, on the right infrastructure and configured in the correct way in as little time as possible to keep up with developers
- This session will dive into the technologies and approaches that allow an integrated CI / CD approach to be created and implemented in conjunction with your existing Testing and Test Automation tools, increasing delivery speed and insight into application quality and status. From Cucumber to Selenium to HP ALM to penetration testing and beyond, all from one point of control
