Isolated web tests in docker

Sun, 25 Oct 2015 21:23:07 +0000

This is a simple tutorial to show you how easy it can be to run isolated webtests in docker.

Presumed you want to run your webtests in an isolated environment for the following reasons:

isolation from other test runs (same ports/same directories/…)
automatic cleanup of …
- orphaned processes (to avoid memory leaks of test agent)
- cleanup of build files (not filling disk up with temporary files)
repeatability (of course)

Note: Btw. with build files I include the temporary container and images as well. (I just had a bunch of stability tests, which means running tests more than 50 times. I had local memory fuckups twice.)
