Practical DevOps

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

Mocking


Mocking refers to the practice of writing simulated resources to enable unit testing. Sometimes, the words "fake" or "stub" are used. For example, a middleware system that responds with JSON structures from a database would "mock" the database backend for its unit tests. Otherwise, the unit tests would require the database backend to be online, probably also requiring exclusive access. This wouldn't be convenient.

Mockito is a mocking framework for Java that has also been ported to Python.
