Test Pyramid

Robust
Independent
Isolated
Fast

Characteristics of End-2-End Testing

Different types of testing:

Regression tests
Functional approval tests

Parallel tests with GUIs are complex

Stateful tests: user logins, sessions, history
Setup and cleanup of test data

Manual effort > effort for test automation

Advantages of Container Technology

Isolation of environments
Repository for versioning and distribution
Reproducible application environment

Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml

Starting containers on-the-fly
Optimized for parallel execution

Less memory overhead
Shared Linux kernel

Containerized GUIs

### start the docker container via x-forwarding
docker run -it -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:rw rasch/inkscape

### start the docker container with VNC interface
# connect via URL: http://localhost:6911/vnc_auto.html?password=vncpassword
docker run -it -p 5911:5901 -p 6911:6901 consol/centos-xfce-vnc
docker run -it -p 5912:5901 -p 6912:6901 consol/ubuntu-xfce-vnc

Sakuli End-2-End Testing Container

Demo - Sakuli Container

# start the docker container
docker run -it -p 5911:5901 -p 6911:6901 consol/sakuli-centos-xfce
docker run -it -p 5912:5901 -p 6912:6901 consol/sakuli-ubuntu-xfce

# start in parallel via docker-compose
# use docker-compos.yml from https://github.com/ConSol/sakuli/tree/master/docker
docker-compose up

Bakery Demo Setup

Bakery Demo

git clone https://github.com/toschneck/sakuli-example-bakery-testing.git

# start jenkins
jenkins/deploy_jenkins.sh
# start OMD montioring
omd-nagios/deploy_omd.sh

# start the build of the application images
bakery-app/app-deployment-docker-compose/deploy_app.sh

#start tests
sakuli-tests/execute_all.sh
#start tests for monitoring
sakuli-tests/execute_all_4_monitoring.sh

What's next?

Headless execution - Linux: VNC & Docker Windows: ?
Video recording of the test execution (error documentation)
Web UI to handle Sakuli test suites
Connect 3rd-party test management tools (HP QC, TestRail, ...)
Improve test result presentation in CI tools
Selenium as an alternative to Sahi
