Welcome to the Chef Testing Discussion Group / Mailing list.

It seems like a lot of folks have started to think, talk and even do stuff about integrating TDD/BDD into the Opscode Chef workflow, so I thought it would be good to have a place to share our thoughts and announcements.

I'll keep it unmoderated until the spamsters hit the site, then will have to turn on moderation but don't want that to interrupt the flow. Hopefully that won't have to happen.

Jason has done a good job in one of the early posts describing some of the scope, but feel free to expand and add detail. If you are already doing some form of testing, let the group know what you've done.

There does seem to be several levels of testing to be discussed:

Cookbook "unit" tests without "convergence"
Cookbook "unit" tests with convergence with VMs or mocking
Cookbook "unit" tests when deployed without disturbing real operation
Cookbook Integration tests on deployed system (More Rspec / Cucumber that test the interaction of cookbooks, attributes, databags, etc)
Application Integration tests (this is more about the app than the components, more like normal CI but use it to reality check the deploy)
Testing drives Monitoring
