If you have been faking an understanding of concepts around testing, building infrastructure, and deploying and/or sidestepping implementation details of how to apply these concepts, we will rectify this at last in a fun, engaging, and memorable way. We will make sense of this “continuous integration” tool chain that seems to so excite folks at Drupal Camps and get you excited too.

Leave with a knowledge of what all of these things are:

• continuous integration/delivery/deployment
• configuration management (Vagrant/Ansible/Chef/puppet/scripts)
• Behavior Driven Development and Test Driven Development
• Testing frameworks (Behat/a11y/wraith/phpspec/phpunit)
• Automation frameworks (circleci/travis/jenkins)

Leave with first steps to implementing a workflow that includes:

• An environment configured with Ansible.
• A local environment configured with Vagrant.
• A behavior driven system testing framework with Behat.
• Automated testing and deployment with CircleCI.

Whether you are a seasoned developer who hasn’t quite gotten around to implementing a sane, CI workflow, or all of this is completely new, you will leave with something that can immediately make your work better.
