Using Docker, Scala and Akka for integration tests

Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.

The challenge in that scenario is to test all the containers in collaboration and do so in a nightly build without any human interaction.

The presentation details how we have overcome the challenges

• by packaging all the containers within docker images throughout the build process
• by creating a test framework based on docker-java, Scala, Akka and Scalatest
• by integrating the individual pieces within our maven based build process

The combination of the technologies mentioned above allow us to execute the entire integration test suite over night against the latest, automatically generated docker images.

All framework source is available on Github.
