Designing, Developing and Maintaining Update Tests for Products with a Monolithic Architecture

I will describe the problem of writing update tests for a complex monolithic product with multiple deliveries, versions and update methods, and present a solution to the problem.

I will show how to use GitLab CI/CD, Ansible, Python, Bash, and VMware vSphere technologies to write tests. The talk will be of interest to QA engineers of various levels who test or plan to test updates to their products.
