How can you make sure your product is working as expected before going live? How can your Product Owner really shape your MVP? Acceptance tests let you define the level of expectations the application must satisfy before going live and increase the visibility over what’s working and what’s not. Automating this process leads to more time spent on developing new features instead of spending it on validating them. This presentation was given during Tech Fest event which took place in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, on November 1st 2017.

AGENDA

4. Ensure the features of your application work as expected.
Challenges
Provide a quick glance over what features are working
and what aren’t.
Allow the Product Owner to truly exercise his veto over
the go-live.
Minimize the amount of resources needed to build testing
environment
 People
 Technical expertise
 Time
 Money
Avoid allocating machines (physical/virtual) for testing
purposes only.
One Possible Solution
 Run acceptance tests written using Serenity BDD
on Rancher.
THE
PROBLEM
WE NEED
TO SOLVE

5.  A level of software testing where a system is tested
for acceptability
 Evaluates the level of compliance of the system with
the business requirements
 Assesses whether the system is acceptable for delivery
 Acts as live documentation
WHAT
IS
ACCEPTANCE
TESTING?

6. Automated acceptance testing library which simplifies
working with BDD frameworks:
 Cucumber
 JBehave
Write acceptance criteria using Java, JUnit & Selenium
Eye-candy report!
Running Tests
 Manual way, using CLI:
docker-compose up –d &&
mvn clean verify
Dwebdriver.base.url=https://myapp-uat.com
Dwebdriver.remote.url=http://localhost:32678/wd/hub
Dserenity.project.name=”My APP | UAT”
 Automated way, using Jenkins Pipelines,
Docker & Rancher
Alternatives
 Robot Framework
 Galen Framework, etc.
WHAT
IS
SERENITY
BDD?

7. WHAT
IS
JENKINS?
Java based open-source automation server
Jenkins Pipelines
 DSL based on Groovy syntax
 Write code to build code

8. WHAT
IS
RANCHER?
Container Management Platform
Supports different container orchestration engines
 Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, Mesos
Schedules workload on a series of heterogeneous Docker
hosts
 Physical and virtual machines on premises
 Virtual machines in cloud (Amazon, Azure,
Google Cloud, etc.)
Alternatives
 Panamax
 Portworx, etc.
