Test with CI/CD Pipelines

Automated Testing in Cloud
Native CI/CD Pipelines

Testkube transforms automated testing in cloud-native environments by providing Kubernetes-native test execution control plane that eliminates the complexity and friction of integrating testing into CI/CD pipelines

Unified Testing Approach

  • Support for all popular testing frameworks (Cypress, Postman, Selenium, etc.)
  • Centralized test management and execution
  • Consistent testing experience across different tools and platforms

Kubernetes-Native Architecture

  • Designed specifically for Kubernetes environments
  • Native CRD (Custom Resource Definition) support
  • Seamless integration with existing cloud-native toolchains and GitOps workflows

Enhanced Observability & Reporting

  • Comprehensive test result tracking
  • Deep integration with monitoring and logging systems
  • Deep insights into test performance and system health
Compare:CI/CD AloneCI/CD + Testkube
Defining Test ExecutionsComplex, manual scripting done by a devops engineer.Simple GUI interface that testers, developers and DevOps engineers can use to easily build simple to complex test executions.
Triggering Automated TestsCI/CD triggers.CI/CD triggers Manual Scheduled From other test sequences Changes in underlying K8s resources.
Scaling Automated TestingExpensive third-party infrastructure. Third-party software to parallelize or shard your functional or load tests.Utilize your own K8s infrastructure.  Included test workflows for sharding and parallelizing functional and load tests.
TroubleshootingEither build elaborate retrieval mechanisms to centralize test automation logs and artifacts or implement lax security to allow access to clusters for retrieval.Centralized and secure logs and artifacts.
ReportingThird-party tooling to track reporting.  Third-party tools have no inherent awareness of which tests have been run, hence reporting tool has to be hooked up to tests leaving large blind spots.Built-in reporting. Since Testkube triggers all tests, Testkube can retrieve and centralize all test results in a single pain of glass.
