The document discusses the importance of continuous testing in DevOps, emphasizing that it is integral to the success of DevOps practices. It highlights the role of Docker and Shippable in automating deployment pipelines and enhancing testing efficiency through the creation of self-sufficient containers. Additionally, it notes the benefits of using Docker for real-world testing environments and the advancements in automated CI/CD processes via Shippable formations.
Continuous Testing using Shippable and Docker

- 2. @[email protected] About Me • C, Java, Ruby developer for about 12 years • DevOps and Systems enthusiast since 3 years • Creative at heart, technology geek at profession • Technology, innovation and the thirst to keep learning are what define me • Working as DevOps Head at WhiteHedge Technologies • Love to travel, read and write
- 4. @[email protected] Typical DevOps Phases • Continuous Integration • Continuous Delivery • Continuous Testing • Continuous Monitoring

- 6. @[email protected] Is Continuous Testing really just one phase in DevOps?
- 7. @[email protected] DevOps is actually all about Continuous Testing!
- 8. @[email protected] The Love Triangle • DevOps = Marriage of Development and Operations • Where does the Testing Team fit in the definition? • Testing teams need to assert themselves to fit in all phases of DevOps
- 9. @[email protected] Testing in all phases • Pre-flight testing • Unit Testing • Functional Testing • Integration Testing • Nightly and Weekend Regression Tests Test Early. Test Faster. Test Often. Automate.
- 10. @[email protected] Testing Maturity • Key differentiator of best devops infrastructures • Vital part of devops process • Test orchestration and automation is still a challenge • Verify the changes. Verify them fast. • Test code changes and if they integrate them well • Ensure changes do not blow up the product!

- 11. @[email protected] The Challenge Early, Frequent and Accurate Testing requires access to real world testing environments. Service Virtualization in the form of Containerization, specifically using Docker, intends to solve this problem.
- 12. @[email protected] What is Docker? Linux Container 3 Components: Docker Engine Docker Hub Docker Images Benefits: Speed Portability Density Open Source “Can create lightweight, self sufficient containers from any application”
- 13. @[email protected] Virtual Machine Docker Docker is not a VM
- 14. @[email protected] Typical Design CI – Build and Unit Testing Nightly Builds – Build, Unit Test and Deploy to QA Env Run Integration Tests (Selenium Tests) Feedback – Email Test Report Failing Tests Polluted the Env. Even after successful tests, the env was changed. For every deployment, the Env has to be setup

- 16. @[email protected] Shippable makes this docker deployment and thus testing, simple
- 17. @[email protected] Shippable •SaaS Platform •Reduces the time taken for code to be built, tested and deployed to production •Shippable CI/CD •Shippable Formations
- 22. @[email protected] Shippable Formations • Easy way to provision, configure, and deploy multi- container Dev and Test clouds (environments) • Fully integrated with the updated Shippable CI/CD platform, and together, they create an automated, frictionless pipeline from source control to full-topology environments • Can mimic your production environment or represent any combination of software component versions you'd like to deploy.
- 23. @[email protected] Shippable Formations (Contd.) Fully orchestrated, persistent, and 'smart', i.e. they can automatically update themselves when any new code is committed into any component of the application. Ensures that your Dev and Test labs always run the latest code and are reliable indicators of how that code will behave in production.
- 26. @[email protected] Notice the services under each env, the docker image and how it is mapped.
- 27. @[email protected] Status of deployment of services on each environments
- 28. @[email protected] Environment Variables can be set as a part of configuration
- 29. @[email protected] Image details and the associated configurations
- 30. @[email protected] Why Formations? • Automation without scripts • Automated integration/functional testing • One-click upgrade and rollback • No more 'works on my machine' bugs • Developer-focused approach • Cost effective
- 31. @[email protected] Lighthouse It is a docker image watcher. You can add any image from any registry that you want to track and get notified via email when there is an update.
- 32. @[email protected] Interesting Facts about Shippable • Shippable was founded in 2013 by Avi Cavale and Manisha Sahasrabuddhe • It was known as Qhode initially • Avi managed to raised the first round of funding over a game of table tennis! • Shippable has raised over $10 million funding till today • Formations was launched on 18 June 2015 • Shippable runs more than 60,000 containers weekly • Google Kubernetes can do 150-200 daily builds using Shippable • Shippable calls itself to be in the era of DevOps 2.0, meaning developers no longer have to write code and scripts in unfamiliar languages to make deployments

Editor's Notes
- #4: About WhiteHedge
- #5: Assumption: everyone knows about docker. If not, then 2 min explaining what is docker.
- #10: Prior to code integration to trunk, developers pre-flight test their code to make sure it doesn’t blow up the trunk. During the CI cycle and code commits from multiple developers integration testing is used to verify merges. During the continuous testing phase where nightly and weekend regression runs are automated for trunk and release branches it is testing that does the job of finding problems before the software release. During the development process the verdicts trends from testing are a primary measurement of progress. During the release deployment phase more testing verifies the release packages are ready for release. Rest assured test team, you are needed. What DevOps really does is bring testing into the mainstream of development processes, and avoids the problems created by having “big-bang” testing left to the end of the cycle, such as release delays, and quality issues.
- #18: Shippable CI/CD: Shippable CI/CD is our Continuous Integration and Deployment Platform. It uses Build Minions, which are Docker-based containers to run your workloads. After building and testing your code, you can have Shippable create a Docker image from your Build Minion and push it to Docker Hub or Google Container Registry (private registry support coming soon!).

Shippable Formations Shippable Formations gives developers an easy way to provision, configure, and deploy multi-container Dev and Test clouds (environments) with zero DevOps code. It is fully integrated with the updated Shippable CI/CD platform, and together, they create an automated, frictionless pipeline from source control to full-topology environments that can mimic your production environment or represent any combination of software component versions you'd like to deploy.
