5 All software should be tested
6 “I need hardware to test the cookbook”
7 Wrong! “I need hardware to test the cookbook”
8 What are you trying to test?
9
10 Trust the lower layers, test your layer
11 Correct code can fail
12 • Client does not have access to server •
Server does not export the volume to that client • Server is down for maintenance Why could this fail?
13 • There is nothing the recipe could do to
fix the failure • Focus on the real purpose of the code • Avoid the failure The recipe is correct
14 What to test?
15 • /etc/fstab • /proc/mounts Persistent Point in time State
16 • Did the cookbook configure things? • /etc/fstab •
Focus on persistent What type of testing? • Does this server fulfill its purpose? • /proc/mounts • Focus on state Integration Compliance
17 Special case kitchen?
18 Use a handler to override behavior
19 • https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/feign • to give a false appearance of
: induce as a false impression feign
20 feign::nfs-mount
21 Converges!
22 • Usually means only applicable on a particular hardware
platform • Not that it CAN only run on that platform Hardware specific recipes
23 hw::dell
24 Verifies under dokken
25 Hardware logic
26 Nothing is converged
27 feign::dell
28 feign::hp
29 • ProLiant_DL380_Gen9 vs ProLiant_DL380_Gen10 • PowerEdge_R640 vs PowerEdge_R740xd Model
based logic
30 Location specific recipes

32 • Docker4Mac lacks autofs support • Need to mock
the autofs service Test environment limitations
33
34 Include (some) test support in utility cookbooks
