Test Environments Management with
summary
Shows that Docker plus Docker Compose turns a brittle setup into a one-command environment: a PHP app plus php:7.3-apache, mailcatcher and Selenium (selenium/standalone-chrome) spin up with docker compose up in seconds, no host changes, and branches get isolated images per Dockerfile targets. Claims a real repo stores infrastructure-as-code so docs shrink from “tens of pages” to two lines (install Docker and run compose), tests run locally against identical environments, and CI/CD can reuse the same images.
