Welcome to Testkube
Your friendly cloud-native testing framework for Kubernetes.
Testkube natively integrates test orchestration and execution into Kubernetes and your CI/CD/GitOps pipeline. It decouples test artifacts and execution from CI/CD tooling; tests are meant to be part of your clusters state and can be executed as needed:
- Kubectl plugin
- Externally triggered via API (CI, external tooling, etc)
- Automatically on deployment of annotated/labeled services/pods/etc (WIP)
Testkube advantages:
- Avoids vendor lock-in for test orchestration and execution in CI/CD pipelines
- Makes it easy to orchestrate and run any kind of tests - functional, load/performance, security, compliance, etc. in your clusters, without having to wrap them in docker-images or providing network access
- Makes it possible to decouple test execution from build processes; engineers should be able to run specific tests whenever needed
- Centralizes all test results in a consistent format for "actionable QA analytics"
- Provides a modular architecture for adding new types of tests and executors
Main Testkube components are:
- kubectl Testkube plugin - simple - installed w/o 3rd party repositories (like Krew etc), communicates with
- API Server - work orchestrator, runs executors, gather execution results
- CRDs Operator - watches Testkube CR, handles changes, communicates with API Server
- Executors - runs tests defined for specific runner
- Postman Executor - runs Postman Collections
- Cypress Executor - runs Cypress Tests
- K6 Executor - runs K6 performance tests
- Curl Executor - runs simple Curl commands
- Executor Template - for creating your own executors
- Results DB - for centralized test results aggregation and analysis
- Testkube Dashboard - standalone web application for viewing real-time Testkube test results
