PuppetConf 2015

Module developers need to test against multiple versions of Puppet Enterprise and open source Puppet. Acceptance testing using Beaker is an essential part of the process. It will help make sure that your module works as expected while maintaining compatibility for the future. Tests are executed across multiple versions of Puppet, operating systems, module dependencies and more. Keep your users happy by eliminating regressions, having higher quality releases, catching problems earlier, easier debugging for user issues and more. This session will cover: my experience starting with Vagrant and moving to Docker; using Beaker to test against different Puppet versions; benefits of using Beaker and rspec-puppet together; techniques for testing against different versions of dependent modules; tips learned when testing the Puppet Approved Elasticsearch module.
