Site reliability engineers (SREs) need to create a healthy test and build environment to ensure that products being distributed integrate and function as expected. In this course, you'll explore the fundamentals of creating a robust SRE test and build environment, looking at the standard tools and techniques available for testing at scale. You'll examine disaster and statistical testing, and learn about working with deadlines and production configurations. You'll investigate the topic of test failures, identifying why an SRE should expect specific tests to fail and how results for test failures can help maximize knowledge about operations and end-users. Lastly, you'll look at the why and how of incorporating break glass procedures, integration testing configuration files, and fake back-end versions into your testing procedures.
