REST does not come with an in-built contract compliance mechanism, which in many ways is a great thing (no cumbersome xml schemas). However, while working with microservice-based systems, it often appears that a practical mechanism that would provide help in shaping and describing REST contracts would come in handy.

Similarly, creating integration and acceptance tests in such systems presents many challenges. On one hand, we want to make the development and deployment of each service independent and agile, so we tend to use stubs, on the other hand, if we are not able to carry out proper E2E tests, we want to make sure that at any point in time, our stubs are in keeping with how are server actually responds to any given request.

In this talk, I will present Accurest, a tool that allows for both: easily shaping REST contracts and verifying if our app adheres to them. I will show how, using Accurest, we can quickly generate automatically-tested stubs from simple groovy DSL scripts. I will talk about the typical usages and script examples, as well as possible problems and ways of handling them.

The Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) is a global computing infrastructure whose mission is to provide computing resources to store, distribute and analyse the data generated by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), making the data equally available to all partners, regardless of their physical location. In this contribution we present how HammerCloud is used to test the functionality of the WLCG resources from the LHC Experiments’ perspective, and to stress the resources on demand.

Recent years are marked with increased focus in automated testing. Unit 
testing, integration, acceptance, etc. - these approaches are usually a 
machine testing machine interface in various stages of development.
OpenQA is OS-level automated testing framework with the focus on testing how 
would human worked.
From the boot, though the installation up to individual application testing 
for almost any server or desktop operating system.
Come and see what is standing behind successes of openSUSE distributions.

Test your favorite OS or application in OpenQA!

OpenQA is automated testing framework backing openSUSE and SUSE distributions.
But by nature it is universal testing tool, just bring installation iso of your favorite OS and lets start.
I will cover basic openQA work and you will be able to write test for almost anything you want.

I will provide VM's with preinstalled openQA admin node and worker node, attendants will need own computer capable of KVM virtualization.

DiSTAF stands for Distributed Systems Test Automation Framework. It provides powerful APIs which enables the user to automate the tests fast and efficiently. It is very modular and written with simplicity in mind. Although it is written to solve the automation problems of glusterfs, it can be used to automate many distributed systems. More information is available at https://github.com/gluster/distaf.

In the presentation I will cover the advantages it has over the other test automation frameworks and about architecture and APIs. I will also cover how the upstream CI has been structured using the distaf and containers.

I will be giving a live demo if the time permits.
