In this hands-on workshop, we’ll take a deep dive into the powerful NixOS Integration Test Driver and its capabilities. Over the course of two hours, you’ll learn how to leverage the test driver to simulate complex networked environments with multiple NixOS hosts and different virtual networks. We’ll also explore the interactive mode for debugging and present best practices to avoid flaky tests, ensuring reliable results in real-world scenarios. If you’re looking to enhance your NixOS testing expertise and streamline your CI/CD pipelines, this session is for you!
Familiarity with NixOS configurations, testing, and basic virtualization concepts is recommended, as we’ll cover advanced testing scenarios and practices.
