Join our two-hour, hands-on workshop to master the NixOS integration test driver!
Learn to simulate complex, multi-host networks and explore modern features like testing with lightweight VMs. We'll cover new integration test driver features, using the interactive mode for powerful debugging, and share best practices to avoid flaky tests. This is a perfect opportunity to enhance your NixOS skills, build more reliable systems, and streamline your CI/CD pipelines with powerful, real-world testing. We will also have a look at some of the NEW debugging features of the test driver.
