Boost your testing: End-to-End with Docker and Geb
summary
Shows how to run end-to-end tests inside reproducible Docker images that bundle the web app, a browser WebDriver and Xvfb so CI and new hires get the same environment. Uses Docker + WebDriver containers, the Geb DSL with page object pattern and waitFor to make selectors and timing robust, and Testcontainers to spin up realistic databases and services. Produces screenshots, structured reports and data-driven specifications so workflows execute reliably and test execution time and flakiness drop in CI.
