Overview of this book

DevOps is a practical field that focuses on delivering business value as efficiently as possible. DevOps encompasses all the flows from code through testing environments to production environments. It stresses the cooperation between different roles, and how they can work together more closely, as the roots of the word imply—Development and Operations. After a quick refresher to DevOps and continuous delivery, we quickly move on to looking at how DevOps affects architecture. You'll create a sample enterprise Java application that you’ll continue to work with through the remaining chapters. Following this, we explore various code storage and build server options. You will then learn how to perform code testing with a few tools and deploy your test successfully. Next, you will learn how to monitor code for any anomalies and make sure it’s running properly. Finally, you will discover how to handle logs and keep track of the issues that affect processes

A complete test automation scenario


We have looked at a number of different ways of working with test automation. Assembling the pieces into a cohesive whole can be daunting.

In this section, we will have a look at a complete test automation example, continuing from the user database web application for our organization, Matangle.

You can find the source code in the accompanying source code bundle for the book.

The application consists of the following layers:

  • A web frontend

  • A JSON/REST service interface

  • An application backend layer

  • A database layer

The test code will work through the following phases during execution:

  • Unit testing of the backend code

  • Functional testing of the web frontend, performed with the Selenium web testing framework

  • Functional testing of the JSON/REST interface, executed with soapUI

All the tests are run in sequence, and when all of them succeed, the result can be used as the basis for a decision to see whether the application stack is deemed healthy enough to deploy to a test...
