Docker: tester tools

A tester always works under time pressure: the backlog is not decreasing, the release is just around the corner, and there is still a lot to test. To ensure the quality of the product, you need to constantly improve the efficiency of your own work. One way is to master some tools that make routine testing easier.

During work, it often takes a long time to set up the environment, since the operation of the program often depends on it. The easiest way to make things easier is to use Docker containers. With their help, you can run autotests, test servers, different versions of programs and applications on any machine where Docker is installed - and they will work exactly the same. This greatly facilitates the search and localization of errors, and reduces testing time.

Naturally, the ability to work with containerization tools will be useful to almost any tester.

The course “Docker: Tester Tools” was created for a quick immersion in skills , necessary specifically for the tester. The theory is given in the amount minimally necessary for practice. The knowledge and skills acquired in this course will help you start working with Docker, gaining only the most necessary skills: creating and configuring images, setting up a network, connecting external sources. 

In this course you learn how to:

• Configure Docker on any modern OS
• Create, connect and delete containers
• Make your own images and volumes
• Configure interaction through binds and volumes
• Run tests and programs in containers
• Connect containers to the network
• Run autotests inside containers
• < li>Understand the difference between Swarm and Kubernetes orchestration tools
