In the previous chapters, we adopted a Test-Driven Development (TDD) approach to developing a backend API server, which exposes a user directory platform. However, there are still many areas for improvement in our workflow:
- We are running tests on our local, development environment, which may contain artifacts that lead to inaccurate test results
- Carrying out all these steps manually is slow and error-prone
In this chapter, we are going to eliminate these two issues by integrating with a Continuous Integration server. In essence, a CI server is a service that watches for changes in your repository, and then automatically runs the test suite inside a clean environment. This ensures the test results are more deterministic ...
