This is a repository for developing Test Driven Cookbook Development.
Test Driven Cookbook Development is a comprehensive instructor-led course exploring Test-driven development (TDD) through explanation, demonstration, practice, and discussion.
Building cookbooks with tests will increase the speed at which you work by giving you consistent feedback throughout the entire cookbook development process.
Participants will learn how to confidently create and extend a cookbook using ChefSpec and ServerSpec. At the end of the course, learners will have created a code repository that can reviewed and applied to solve real business problems.
Building cookbooks with tests will increase the speed at which you work by giving you consistent feedback throughout the entire cookbook development process. The Chef Development Kit (ChefDK) includes tools that allow you perform both unit testing and integration testing.
In this webinar the facilitator will explain what is unit testing and integration testing, how they apply to the domain of cookbook development, and demonstrate building cookbooks with a test-driven approach. When we're done, you'll know when to apply these two tools, how to use these tools effectively, and know where to continue to build these skills.

These modules focus on getting learners engaged with the content as quickly as possible. A workstation is provided to the learners.
This workstation is currently being managed as a Amazon Machine Instance (AMI). This AMI is managed by Chef through the Training AWS Account.
- TDD Cookbook Development - CentOS 6.7 - 1.0.0 (ami-6c6a4706)
The AMI was generated with Packer and adheres to the following policy. It is based on a Marketplace AMI so it cannot be made public. If you would like access to this AMI to deliver training please contact [email protected] the request that includes your Amazon Account Id.
An chef recipe that automates the creation of the workstation can be found in the ChefDK Image project
