Continuous Integration and Continuous Testing

Continuous integration and continuous testing refer to the software release integration and testing stages. Every committed revision triggers an automated build, and that build is automatically tested.

In this course, students will learn how to create multiple-phase, multiple-jobs Projects that will include the executing of several independent GitHub Repositories, organized in multiple phases as a DevOps
Pipeline. They will be able to test builds automatically by executing a Manual Exploratory Testing, API Testing and Performance Testing for each build. Participants will be able to create Jenkins Project that includes two phases: The Packaging Phase and the Testing Phase.

At the end of this course, students will have several Pipeline-as-Code jobs running from Jenkins Server that will integrate with GitHub, Packer, JMeter, and Terraform to automatically build AMI Images, deploy EC2 instances with Terraform, and automatically test the application using JMeter.

 

Course Highlights:

• Introduction to Continuous Integration
• Implementing Continuous Integration
• Configuration Management
• Deployment Pipelines
• Deployment Installation Scripts
• Automatic Acceptance Test Using JMeter
• Automating Non-Functional Test Using JMeter
• Introduction to Infrastructure-as-Code

 

Course Benefits:

• Install, configure, and integrate Jenkins, Terraform, JMeter and Packer using their own AWS environment and GitHub accounts.
• Create Declarative Pipelines to create Pipelines as-Code and automatically run them from the Jenkins server
• Create Jenkins multiple-phase, multiple-jobs Projects
