Infrastructure under the Magnifying Glass

http://www.agiletestingdays.com/session/infrastructure-under-the-magnifying-glass/

Example Project: DilloJs https://github.com/butjar/dillojs

There are tools like kitchen and rspec to automate the tests for your infrastructure code (on integration level)
Unit Tests for deployment scripts make sense as well! (As soon as there are conditions & branches)
Chef Tools for Unit Test

Foodcritic
rubocop
chefspec

Integration Test Tools
- Kitchen CI http://kitchen.ci/
  - Starts a vagrant box, runs provisioning and executes tests
  - Busser: test execution framework
  - Bats: https://github.com/sstephenson/bats
  - ansible plugin https://github.com/neillturner/kitchen-ansible
  - ServerSpec
    - http://rspec.info/documentation/
    - http://serverspec.org/
- Run ServerSpec without Kitchen:
  - have a look Rakefile in example project

Bats example:

@test "mongo bla" {
  output=$("cmd")
  status=$?
  test[]
}

Serverspec example

require 'serverspec'
 set :backend, :exec # run locally
 
describe 'ngnix' do
 describe service 'ngnix' do
  it { expect(subject).to be_running }
  it { expect(subject).to be_enabled }
 end
 
 describe port 80 do
  it { expect(subject).to be_listening }
 end
 
 describe file '…' do
  let(:content) {subject.content}  
  it { expect(subject).to exist }
  it { expect(subject).to be_file }
  it { expect(content).to include('...') }
 end
end
 
describe 'node' do
 describe command 'node -v' do
  it { expect(subject.stdout).to match(/.../)}
 end
end

Ideas:

run kitchen & ansible in bamboo

provisioning & admin
