Скачать или смотреть Scala, Docker and Testing oh my! - Daniel Brown

Testing is important for any system you write and at eBay it is no different. We have a number of complex Scala and Akka based applications with a large number of external dependencies. One of the challenges of testing this kind of application is replicating the complete system across all your environments: development, different flavors of testing (unit, functional, integration, capacity and acceptance) and production. This is especially true in the case of integration and capacity testing where there are a multitude of ways to manage system complexity. Wouldn’t it be nice to define the testing system architecture in one place that we can reuse in all our tests? It turns out we can do exactly that using Docker. In this talk, we will first look at how to take advantage of Docker for integration testing your Scala application. After that we will explore how this has helped us reduce the duration and complexity of our tests.
