No More Mocks! TDD 2.0 with Gitlab-ci and Docker
Everyone talks about TDD, and the importance of unit tests, with occasional lip service to integration testing. In our systems integrated world, where most applications rely on some restful or remote service it is hard to trust old school unit tests that mock these services. With the advent of GitOps and platforms like GitLab-ci we can easily spin up remote services in a docker container and reimagine unit testing. This talk introduces this technique by focusing on a case study which integrates a go application with an ElasticSearch service using GitLab-ci and docker… and No Mocks!
