Many development teams have adopted test-driven development practices for writing application code because of their benefits. Others have turned to containers to package and deploy their software, and it's accepted practice to use automated scripts to build the containers. What we’ve seen few teams do so far is combine the two trends and drive the writing of the container scripts using tests. With frameworks such as Serverspec and Goss, you can express the intended functionality for either isolated or orchestrated containers, with short feedback loops. This means that it’s possible to use the same principles we’ve championed for code by TDD'ing containers. Our initial experience doing so has been very positive.

Thoughtworks acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land where we work and live, and their continued connection to Country. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were the world's first scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians. We celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land. 

 

As a company, we invite Thoughtworkers to be actively engaged in advancing reconciliation and strengthen their solidarity with the First Peoples of Australia. Since 2019, we have been working with Reconciliation Australia to formalize our commitment and take meaningful action to advance reconciliation. We invite you to review our Reconciliation Action Plan.
