Thanks for sharing this with us, Adam! This is where I need to go next on my journey to Infra as Code...
Best, Will -----Original Message----- From: tech-boun...@lists.lopsa.org [mailto:tech-boun...@lists.lopsa.org] On Behalf Of Adam Moskowitz Sent: Wednesday, April 08, 2015 2:17 PM To: LOPSA Tech List Subject: [lopsa-tech] Article on testing sysadmin scripts Back in November I posted to this list asking wha kinds of programs sysadmins write. [1] Those of you who responded discovered that I didn't really care what sort of programs you wrote but rather, whether testing was part of your software development process (such as it may be). Based on the responses I got (namely, that very few of you do any sort of testing), I decided to write an article for ";login:" [2] (USENIX's magazine/journal): Software Testing for Sysadmin Programs http://menlo.com/tdd4sa/login_apr15_06_moskowitz.pdf I know that many LOPSA members are not also USENIX members so I've made the article (and the associated examples [3]) available for free. I hope you find it useful (or, at least, interesting). Also, thanks again to everyone who responded to my "survey."
