CI/CD for Test Automation: Jenkins & GitHub Actions

Unlock the power of continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) with this comprehensive course designed for testers and developers ready to elevate their skills. Learn to seamlessly integrate testing automation into modern software delivery pipelines and confidently apply CI/CD practices to your workflows.

This hands-on course dives deep into practical implementation using industry-standard tools, equipping you with real-world testing strategies you can apply immediately. You'll gain expertise in building robust automation pipelines from the ground up.

Here's a look at the technologies and tools you'll master:

• Jenkins (for local CI/CD setups)
• GitHub Actions (for cloud-based CI/CD)
• Docker (for containerization)
• Playwright (for end-to-end testing)
• K6 (for performance testing)
• Fly (for free deployment)

Build and Deploy a Full-Stack Application: You'll deploy a fully functional, dockerized application with a GoLang backend and NextJS frontend to multiple live environments on the internet!

What You'll Achieve:

• CI/CD Pipeline Creation: Build robust automation pipelines from scratch using both Jenkins and GitHub Actions for local and cloud-based CI/CD.
• Comprehensive Test Integration: Integrate a full suite of tests into your pipelines, covering Unit testing, API testing, Integration testing, End-to-End testing, and Performance testing.
• Live Deployment Expertise: Confidently deploy applications live to the internet, managing separate staging and production environments.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Implement industry best practices for Infrastructure as Code and version control to ensure maintainable and scalable pipelines.

Inside the Course, You'll Learn:

• CI/CD Principles: Understand core CI/CD principles and their direct application to modern testing.
• Jenkins Configuration: Setting up and configuring local Jenkins pipelines for efficient test execution.
• GitHub Actions Workflows: Leveraging GitHub Actions for powerful, cloud-based CI/CD workflows.
• Test Strategy: Strategically embedding unit tests, API tests, and end-to-end tests into your delivery process.
• Performance Testing: Incorporating performance testing as an integral part of your CI/CD cycle.
• Deployment Strategies: Mastering safe deployment strategies for staging and production environments.
• IaC & Version Control: Adhering to best practices with Infrastructure as Code and effective version control.

This outcome-focused course ensures you gain the practical skills to make a real impact on your software development process.
