Building a throw-away testing infrastructure
09 Mar 2023
DevOps Live Theatre
The majority of QA people I talk to start out with creating and running test automation against an on-premise testing infrastructure. A lot of times they also need to build and maintain it themselves. A good testing environment is the foundation upon which digital products are built and tested. However, it is a time-consuming process to set up and then to maintain it to stay relevant and useful. Join me while I highlight the considerations and steps undertaken to create such an environment using Docker, Selenium and GitHub and the challenges encountered during this endeavour. In the end we will abandon this infrastructure and outsource it in favour of Sauce Labs Hosted Orchestration so that DevOps and QA can refocus their efforts and make everyone's life easier.
