Test Kitchen validates infrastructure changes in four main stages: Create, Converge, Verify and Destroy:
Overview: Chef Infra Client and Test Kitchen Infrastructure Automation This reduces the time necessary to test systems and time spent training employees on new testing frameworks. With Chef InSpec you utilize the same test language, and even code, for your infrastructure tests as your security and compliance tests. Test Kitchen is part of Chef Workstation and works in concert with Chef InSpec letting you write complex tests for your infrastructure code with ease. This shifts the validation of systems as far left as possible, avoiding the need for costly manual validation in pre-production environments, or worse yet, validation in production.
Test Kitchen is an open source testing framework that tests cookbooks using Vagrant, Docker, VMware vSphere, or leading cloud providers. With Test Kitchen you can automate the validation of your complex infrastructure systems on local workstations during your development process as well as part of automated CI pipelines. Each of these critical systems needs special attention as you build out your infrastructure automation. No one wants to push out that “simple” configuration change that causes a business outage. Each and every change, no matter the size, needs full validation, but how can this be accomplished without slowing the business velocity? It often seems like every day brings about a new mission-critical business application to manage.
