Session Type:

  • Talk (45 minutes).

Session Track:

  • Engineering Practices.

Session Language:

  • English.

Session Level:

  • Experienced (Ri) Practitioners.

Session Summary:

In this talk, we’ll think about containers in a different way, containerizing not only applications, but also automated tests.

Session Abstract:

Inspired by insights from Laura Frank’s talk at DockerCon EU 2015, we’ll see how to use Docker and Docker Compose to run containerized applications AND automated tests with only a single command.

This allows us to have self-contained test environments, which are easy to configure in a CI server and also makes very easy for developers to run everything locally.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn to use containers not only for applications, but also for testing,
  • Simplify the CI configuration.
  • Simplify the Testing environment management.
  • Make it easier for any team member to run all types of existing automated tests locally.
