What makes Puppet Enterprise so special?



What is this continuous integration thing anyway?



What does shipping Puppet Enterprise look like?

• Tools and Technologies

• Testing Methodologies

• Putting it All together





Testing... 1, 2, 3

• Automated UI testing

• Ruby & Javascript unit tests

• Per-application system tests

• Integrated system tests



An example: Live Management



In the beginning, there was code

• Jenkins pulls code from github

• Unit tests get run

• Package is built



Signing things is hard, yo

• A human looks up the new package

• signs it

• puts it in place for the PE build

• pushes the Big Red Button



Now the fun begins

• Automatic smoke testing on most-used platforms

• Install PE, validate basic functionality

• UI tests for Console applications

• System tests for backend services

• Integration suite for complex interactions



What does the future hold for Puppet Enterprise testing?
