We recently faced an issue with our test automation on a huge project. We had become victims of our own success: we were focused on eliminating manual testing efforts by increasing automated test coverage, but at some point, our single 8CPU/32GB test agent was not enough anymore. We used to wait for more than an hour for all our tests to run. We started thinking about how to improve the situation. The concept that will be presented is about utilizing Azure Container Instances as a hosting platform for spinning up multiple parallel environments and running all our test automation against them in parallel. This session will be useful for those who want to reduce total product cost by reducing team members’ idle time. I will share code examples that you will be able to use in your own environment.
