We use Test Kitchen to automatically test our automated deployments with Serverspec and RSpec:
- Install Test Kitchen and its dependencies from within the project's directory:
gem install bundler
bundle install
- Run all tests
kitchen test
By default, we run our tests inside Docker containers as this considerably speeds up testing time (see .kitchen.yml).
