ChefSpec and minitest-handler

[Jay Perry]

Hey guys,

We are starting to rollout testing to our chef infrastructure and I think this is the approach we are going to take.  Let me know your thoughts?

ChefSpec - Will use for Unit Tests on a developers machine and in CI to test before convergence

MiniTest-Handler/Vagrant - Will use for Integration Tests on a developers machine and in CI to spin up a snapshot with vagrant, converge the node, then run use minitest-handler to verify the the node was converged correctly.

In CI the pipeline will be Commit -> Run Unit Tests -> Run Integration Tests -> Push to Chef Server

Anything else I'm missing or ideas on better technology to use?

Thanks,

Jay
