Container-native integration testing

Raffaele Spazzoli

It can be complex to set up an end-to-end integration test infrastructure, but the process can be simplified by using an infrastructure-as-code approach. In addition, running integration tests for multiple OS/browser combinations can waste resources and time, but a container orchestrator and ephemeral workloads can help mitigate that. This article shows how to build behavior-driven development (BDD) container-native integration tests and run them in OpenShift to overcome these obstacles.

Red Hat Summit Spotlight: Getting Started with Cloud-Native Apps Lab

Siamak Sadeghianfar

Cloud-native application development is the new paradigm for building applications and although is it often mistaken for microservices, it is much more than that and encompasses not only the application architecture but also the process through which applications are built, deployed, and managed. New apps are often seen as the focus of cloud-native applications; however, we believe existing and new applications are alike and can incorporate cloud-native practices if they have the four defining characteristics of cloud-native applications: Service-based: Build...
