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

JavaScript testing


Since there usually are web UI implementations of nearly every product these days, the JavaScript testing frameworks deserve special mention:

  • Karma is a test runner for unit tests in the JavaScript language

  • Jasmine is a Cucumber-like behavior testing framework

  • Protractor is used for AngularJS

Protractor is a different testing framework, similar to Selenium in scope but optimized for AngularJS, a popular JavaScript user interface framework. While it would appear that new web development frameworks come and go everyday, it's interesting to note why a test framework like Protractor exists when Selenium is available and is general enough to test AngularJS applications too.

First of all, Protractor actually uses the Selenium web driver implementation under the hood.

You can write Protractor tests in JavaScript, but you can use JavaScript for writing test cases for Selenium as well if you don't like writing them in a language like Java.

The main benefit turns out to be that Protractor...
