Go is an Open Source Continuous Integration and Release Management system. It takes an innovative approach to managing the build, test and release process.

This workshop is to understand the potentials of Go and make it easier for people to start doing CI/CD on their projects. We would also see some of the powerful and differentiating features of Go. For more details please refer here.

Chef is a popular Infrastructure Automation framework based in Ruby. It comes with a host of testing tools bundled with it like ChefSpec for unit testing, ServerSpec for system testing and TestKitchen for integration testing. This session is a demo of how to use these frameworks to test drive cookbook development.

An Ideal Test Pyramid is an invaluable technique to succeed with agile. However, it is challenging to have this ideal pyramid in practical projects for several conditions in the projects, like legacy code bases. To have a good test pyramid, several best practices of software development need to be followed. This talk discusses the practices that help in implementing test pyramid and the challenges faced by many teams in doing that and suggestions on how to overcome them.

Developing Infrastructure as Code as a practice is increasingly adopted by organizations that want to have Continuous Delivery. Infrastructure As Code requires treating infrastructure as code, applying the same development techniques that one uses to build application software. This talk discusses the need for having infrastructure as code, the several frameworks available in this space (like Puppet, Chef, Ansible), what they bring to the table and the philosophical differences between them and the testing tools and frameworks available to test infrastructure as code. The concepts would be supported by snippets of infrastructure code written for an open source application.

WebDriverJS and Cucumber.js are new entrants in the WebDriver eco-system and are gaining popularity by the day! These JavaScript ports for WebDriver and Cucumber enable us to test the JavaScript UI apps built using frameworks like Angular JS, Ember.JS with great ease.

The UI tests can be written in JavaScript, thereby using the same technical stack of the application and the tests seamlessly integrate with the code for continuous integration and continuous delivery.

The session is a demonstration of test framework using Cucumber.js and WebDriverJS for testing an open-source Angular JS application.
