Chapter 17. Automated Test Environments for DevOps

Software testing is carried out on test environments. These are non-production environments that are similar to production environments. Environments are created for various tests: developer (unit) test, dedicated test, integration test, preproduction test, and business readiness test.

Given the time pressures, management of non-production environments does not get priority from IT organizations. There are serious implications of high environment-related defects if test environments are not managed well.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Challenges of test environment management (TEM)

  • A TEM automation approach for DevOps environments

  • Benefits of TEM automation

  • TEM metrics to consider for release management

  • TEM automation tools
