Infrastructure Testing Strategy

Testing of Infrastructure, which comprises of the test environment where we perform testing, is often ignored. Instability in test environment results in unexpected delays in testing and incorrect configuration can lead to replication of issues into production.

The talk explores what infrastructure testing means and why it is important. With the ongoing progress with cloud resources like AWS, ensuring the correct test environment and as such, ensuring proper infrastructure is in place with no issues, is of paramount importance. 

But what would the testing of infrastructure look like?

How would it become part of our test strategy?

Why do we often overlook it? Do we cover it in our testing in any capacity?

When would we be running the tests?

Can this activity be automated?

All these questions will be addressed and explored in this talk.
