Welcome to Testkube

Your friendly cloud-native testing framework for Kubernetes.

Testkube natively integrates test orchestration and execution into Kubernetes and your CI/CD/GitOps pipeline. It decouples test artifacts and execution from CI/CD tooling; tests are meant to be part of your clusters state and can be executed as needed:

• Kubectl plugin
• Externally triggered via API (CI, external tooling, etc)
• Automatically on deployment of annotated/labeled services/pods/etc (WIP)

Testkube advantages:

• Avoids vendor lock-in for test orchestration and execution in CI/CD pipelines
• Makes it easy to orchestrate and run any kind of tests - functional, load/performance, security, compliance, etc. in your clusters, without having to wrap them in docker-images or providing network access
• Makes it possible to decouple test execution from build processes; engineers should be able to run specific tests whenever needed
• Centralizes all test results in a consistent format for "actionable QA analytics"
• Provides a modular architecture for adding new types of tests and executors

Main Testkube components are:

• kubectl Testkube plugin - simple - installed w/o 3rd party repositories (like Krew etc), communicates with
• API Server - work orchestrator, runs executors, gather execution results
• CRDs Operator - watches Testkube CR, handles changes, communicates with API Server
• Executors - runs tests defined for specific runner
  • Postman Executor - runs Postman Collections
  • Cypress Executor - runs Cypress Tests
  • K6 Executor - runs K6 performance tests (@lreimer)
  • SoapUI - runs SoapUI tests
  • Kubepug - runs Kubepug tests
  • Artillery.io - runs Artillery tests
  • Curl Executor - runs simple Curl commands
  • Maven - Runs tests written in Java using Maven (@lreimer)
  • Gradle - Runs tests written in Java using Gradle (@lreimer)
  • Ginkgo - Runs tests written in Go using Ginkgo (@jdborneman-terminus)
  • Executor Template - for creating your own executors
• Results DB - for centralized test results aggregation and analysis
• Testkube Dashboard - standalone web application for viewing real-time Testkube test results
