TestContainers Integration testing without the hassle Sergei @bsideup Egorov
Integration testing Why it matters?
Verify how your software product will behave in real-world conditions
Isolated from other system components to avoid false negatives
Real: databases, file systems, network interfaces, …
Grey box testing - we know some inner details, but
mostly use public APIs
None
Unit testing • Simulation tests are green, yay! • Everything
is mocked • DB is written by others, why should I test it?
Integration testing https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cd4007.jpg • Jeez, how did it passed the
Unit testing? • Is it a smoke? @#$%! YES IT IS! • Who knew that 100w soldering gun was a bit too powerful for it?
System testing https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:UART_8250_Microchip.jpg • Takes a lot of time to
solder • “Oh no, the power bus is too far away from my microchip!” • Interference between the components
Production
Integration testing Real-world, but isolated testing Spot the issues before
the real environment Can be run during the development You have to start real databases Should be cross-platform Slower than Unit testing Pros Cons
Obvious solution
None
Abstraction layer
CI friendly
Cross-platform
Docker Compose FTW! redis: image: redis ports: - "6379:6379" postgres:
image: postgres ports: - "5432:5432" elasticsearch: image: elasticsearch:5.0.0 ports: - "9200:9200"
But…
No ports randomization redis: image: redis ports: - "6379:6379" postgres:
image: postgres ports: - "5432:5432" elasticsearch: image: elasticsearch:5.0.0 ports: - "9200:9200"
Fighting with Docker environment
There is no place like
There is no place like Except Docker Machine
Can we improve that?
None
Remove the database
Remove the database
None
As simple as PostgreSQLContainer postgresql = new PostgreSQLContainer() GenericContainer
redis = new GenericContainer("redis:3") .withExposedPorts(6379)
TestContainers • https://github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-java • OSS project by Richard North, supported
by ZeroTurnaround • Declarative Docker Java API wrapper • JUnit rules, can be used with other frameworks like TestNG, Cucumber, etc…
How it works • Wraps https://github.com/docker-java/docker-java • Docker environment discovery
• Will start docker-machine if it’s not started yet • Docker for Mac support • Containers cleanup on JVM shutdown
Use case #1: testing of microservices • REST service •
Java, Spring Boot • Redis and PostgreSQL • Calls some other micro-services
Demo
Use case #2: Docker as Selenium driver • Selenium/Selenide tests
• No need to install Chrome/Firefox/etc • CI friendly
Demo
Use case #3: Java agent testing • Test different Java
versions • Simplify I/O testing • The actual reason why ZeroTurnaround decided to use TestContainers :)
