Testing as a Service - How we used OpenStack to automate our entire dev and testing environment

Abstract:

Building and testing distributed software platforms can be a tedious and daunting task. Achieving good coverage can be very hard since a lot of factors affect the overall testability and coverage of a system. Some problems only become apparent on a distributed setup, such as timing and network issues, etc. In this session we’ll explain how we used OpenStack and Cloudify to implement and automate real integration testing (as in, no mocks) for our entire product suite, and how we significantly improved our overall coverage and reliability.
