Argus - The Omniscient CI

Explore a powerful continuous integration framework called Argus in this EuroPython 2015 conference talk. Learn how this scenario-based Python application provides unittest-like reports for platform-independent testing. Discover Argus's ability to query live data from in-test applications and its successful implementation with cloudbase-init in OpenStack environments. Delve into the framework's generic scalability, the simplicity of creating custom recipes, and the relationship between scenarios, introspection, and tests. Gain insights into creating highly customized testing entities that generate in-depth, analysis-ready logs. Understand the components of Argus, including scenarios, recipes, introspection, and tests, as well as their interrelationships. Examine the Argus config file and advanced concepts such as mock metadata. Learn how to use Argus effectively and develop tests using this omniscient CI tool, suitable for both small and large projects across various infrastructures.
