Talkat Maintainer Summit India 2024 · on Tuesday, 2024-12-10· at 10:00· Convention Centre | Level 4 | Room 404·
summary
Maps the test pyramid for Kubernetes with concrete commands and results: unit tests use go test or make test, integration tests spin up etcd and API server, and e2e tests use kubetest2 against a kind cluster with a locally built kind node image and a compiled e2e binary. Demonstrates enabling a feature gate, running a focused Ginkgo test via kubetest2, and seeing the test pass. Mentions VS Code workflow for iterative unit test development and the role of conformance tests and hydrophone.
