Beaker is a test harness focused on acceptance testing via interactions between multiple (virtual) machines. It provides platform abstraction between different Systems Under Test (SUTs), and it can also be used as a virtual machine provisioner - setting up machines, running any commands on those machines, and then exiting.
Beaker runs tests written in Ruby, and provides additional Domain-Specific Language (DSL) methods. This gives you access to all standard Ruby along with acceptance testing specific commands.
See Beaker Installation.
Documentation for Beaker can be found in this repository in the docs/ folder.
Beaker functionality has been extended through the use of libraries available as gems. See the complete list for available gems. See the beaker-template documentation for documentation on creating beaker-libraries.
