Frisbee – Kubernetes Native Testbed

The effort being put in automating tests should not take over delivering value to users. Frisbee makes it possible to:

🏗️ Spin up entire dependency stack

🎁 Setup initial dependency state – easily!

🏭 Test against actual, close to production software

⏳ Spend no time writing mocks

🕹️ Test actual program behavior and side effects

TL;DR

1. Make sure that kubectl and Helm are installed on your system.

2. Update Helm repo.

   >> helm repo add frisbee https://carv-ics-forth.github.io/frisbee/charts
   

3. Install Helm Packages.

   # Install the platform
   >> helm upgrade --install --wait my-frisbee frisbee/platform
   # Install the package for monitoring YCSB output
   >> helm upgrade --install --wait my-ycsb frisbee/ycsb
   # Install TiKV store
   >> helm upgrade --install --wait my-tikv frisbee/tikv
   

4. Create/Destroy the test plan.

   # Create 
   >> curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CARV-ICS-FORTH/frisbee/main/charts/tikv/examples/plan.baseline.yml | kubectl -f - apply
   
   # Destroy
   >> curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CARV-ICS-FORTH/frisbee/main/charts/tikv/examples/plan.baseline.yml | kubectl -f - delete --cascade=foreground
   

If everything went smoothly, you should see a similar Grafana Dashboard .

Through these dashboards humans and controllers can examine to check things like completion, health, and SLA compliance.

📙 Documentation

Frisbee addresses the key pain points developers and QA engineers face when testing cloud-native applications in the earlier stages of the software lifecycle. We make it possible to:

• Run tests: create temporary containers for application dependencies, setup their initial state and clean them up in the end.
• Write tests: describe complex topologies, dynamic operating conditions, Chaos Events, and distributed assertions.
• Debug tests: integrate application-specific metrics, monitor site-wide health metrics, and raise notifications on SLA violations.
