    Jest Puppeteer

    Jest Puppeteer

    Run your tests using Jest & Puppeteer

    Most continuous integration platforms limit the number of threads one can use. If you have more than one test suite running puppeteer chances are that your test will timeout. This is because jest will try to run puppeteer in parallel and the CI platform won't be able to handle all the parallel jobs in time. A fix to this is to run your test serially when in a CI environment. Users have discovered that running test serially in such environments can render up to 50% of performance gains. Writing integration test can be done using Puppeteer API but it can be complicated and hard because API is not designed for testing. Debugging tests can be hard sometimes and it is very useful to be able to pause tests in order to inspect the browser. Jest Puppeteer exposes a method jestPuppeteer.debug() that suspends test execution and gives you the opportunity to see what's going on in the browser.

    Buildbot

    Buildbot

    Python-based continuous integration testing framework

    Buildbot is an open-source framework for automating software build, test, and release processes. At its core, Buildbot is a job scheduling system: it queues jobs, executes the jobs when the required resources are available, and reports the results. Your Buildbot installation has one or more masters and a collection of workers. The masters monitor source-code repositories for changes, coordinate the activities of the workers, and report results to users and developers. Workers run on a variety of operating systems. You configure Buildbot by providing a Python configuration script to the master. This script can be very simple, configuring built-in components, but the full expressive power of Python is available. This allows dynamic generation of configuration, customized components, and anything else you can devise. The framework itself is implemented in Twisted Python, and compatible with all major operating systems.

Open Source CI/CD Tools Guide

Open source CI/CD tools are software solutions that enable organizations to automate the processes of building, testing and deploying applications. They are designed to expedite the release of new products or services, allowing teams to move faster and improve their time-to-market agility. Commonly used in DevOps environments, open source CI/CD tools can help reduce manual errors and streamline the build, test and deployment process for development teams.

These open source automated environment management tools allow for continuous integration (CI), which automates the process of merging code branches back into a main branch through various stages such as unit tests, static code analysis and version control. Continuous delivery (CD) is an automated deployment workflow that eliminates manual steps in the deployment process. This allows developers to focus on developing features instead of managing deployments. As part of CD, automated testing ensures all changes don’t break existing features or introduce bugs into a production environment.

Examples of popular open source CI/CD tools include Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, TravisCI and CircleCI. Each platform offers different advantages when it comes to configuring pipelines or delivering fast results with minimal effort from a team’s perspective; however they all share some common characteristics such as cloud management capabilities for managing resources (e.g., Infrastructure as Code) via scripting languages (such as Ruby). In addition, platforms typically have APIs that allow users to integrate with other systems like databases or external webhooks for more advanced automation scenarios such as triggering builds based on certain events from third party services. Finally these types of open source platforms may also provide additional security benefits by leveraging technologies like containerization which ensure applications are securely sandboxed away from any potential attack vectors outside your network infrastructure enabling teams to confidently build & deploy without worrying about data breaches etc
