Docker 101

New

Docker is the most popular containerized solution being used in the software industry for development. Test automation is no exception to this. Like any other test automation tool, implementation and testing can get complicated, tricky, and unmaintainable if all you understand is the “Record and Playback” features of Docker or think it is the same as using a virtual machine. Do you want to better test Docker-based applications and use Docker for your automation needs? Then join Aprajita Mathur to understand fundamental concepts of Dockers like images, containers, volumes, most used Docker commands, and basic Docker communications. During this hands-on tutorial, you will learn how to apply these key concepts by building a simple Docker application. Aprajita will also share the best practices and gotcha’s of Docker-land that she has learned over the course of using this technology for her own development and test automation needs, so that you may ask the right questions to development teams and build your automation tools more robustly.
