It would have been much too complex for someone just switching from manual testing to automated testing! Where could we find an easier way for someone to be able to dive in and set things up? My goal is to place my Selenium Grid in a Docker container, so that when automated testers are running automated tests on their local machine, they can set up the Docker image and have every browser and platform they need at their fingertips.Ī few months ago, we explored how to set up a virtual machine with VirtualBox, Vagrant, and Docker. I am on a quest to find that type of ease-of-use.Īlthough I haven't documented it in my blog, yet, it is easy to find tutorials to download and install Selenium Grid, which provides a small sample of browsers you can hook up your automated test framework to. If we wanted to see how our web application looked on a clean install of the now defunct Netscape Navigator and Windows NT, and compare that with IE6, IE7, and IE8, our entire testing team could blow away whatever previous virtual machines they had on their desktop, and copy whatever was needed that day to their computer. I would configure and place them the shared drive at whatever company I was working on. The images contained the multitude of browsers and platforms configurations we needed. When performing browser testing around a decade ago, I used to use VMWare to setup numerous virtual machine images for my testing team. The Past: Browser images on Virtual Machines Because I didn't start at square one, there are things I wonder about. I've been on a quest since I became an automation developer, documenting everything I have been doing adding to the automated test framework at my workplace. Avoid updating mc to any new releases until all clusters have been successfully updated.It's the Docker Toolbox for Easy Installation! In the case of federated setups mc admin update should be run against each cluster individually.
