Description
As the feedback loop between developers and customers continues to shrink, the ability to deliver features and fixes in near real-time becomes more crucial. Continuous Delivery (CD) pipelines can enable teams to deliver code quickly but optimisation of the Build, Test and Deploy stages can be the difference between a 10 minute deployment and a 5 hour deployment.
At Demonware we are using Docker to optimise the Test Stage of our CD pipelines. Containerised testing has helped us reduce test execution time, make tests more portable, better utilize our test infrastructure and deliver game services to our customers faster.
This talk will cover some of the challenges we faced along the way and the various approaches we used to containerise our tests.
