Too often teams skip pipeline stages like testing to “quickly” fix an issue in production. By doing so causing new issues. Nowadays the testing stages are often the most time consuming, and therefore seen as the bottleneck. After we have spent time optimizing the build and release stages it is now time for the testing stage! Technologies such as Kubernetes, not only enable us to scale our production environments, it can also significantly speed up your test execution.

In this workshop, we make use of the cloud advantages to optimize your test execution. First, we will learn how to scale your test execution by dividing tests over many worker nodes. Easily spin up 200 chrome browsers and run your end to end tests within minutes instead of hours! Scaling tests is not just a matter of spawning more instances. Just like with applications, tests should also apply to certain design patterns. This is what you will learn in the second part of this workshop.

Key takeaways:
1. How to use Kubernetes
2. How to run your tests at scale
3. How to design a scalable test set
4. The power (and limitations) of scaling
