Infrastructure and Environment Testing with InSpec
summary
Claims a way to catch environment and configuration failures that currently cause long delays, showing that a recent core migration logged about 1,180–1,200 defects of which 50% of defects tie to config or environment and many took ~20 touch points to triage. Demonstrates InSpec (Ruby based, Chef project) running tests run in seconds against Windows, Linux, Docker and EC2, checking OS, services, files, disk, memory, HTTP and firewall rules, using SSH to remote hosts, producing HTML/JSON reports and Jenkins integration.
