Infrastructure as Code Programs - How to Test, Finally

Explore the challenges and solutions for unit testing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) programs in this 42-minute Devoxx conference talk. Dive into the world of IaC solutions like Pulumi and AWS CDK, where developers use general-purpose programming languages to define declarative deployment configurations. Learn why testing these programs is crucial for preventing malfunctions and security issues. Discover ProTI, an automated unit testing approach that accelerates IaC development by mocking cloud resources and using pluggable oracles to validate configurations. Gain insights into how ProTI enables quick testing of IaC programs and facilitates community-driven exploration of new oracles and generators for efficient testing practices.
