This post was written by Scott Anderson. It was originally published on the Nanobox blog. Semaphore is a continuous integration (CI) platform that runs your automated code tests and triggers specific actions based on the results. This article walks through how to use Nanobox and Semaphore to test your code and automate deployment.
We’re happy to announce the release of Semaphore API v2. The new API brings greater clarity, improves usability, and fixes the key issues in API v1. This new version is a complete rewrite of our API, both in terms of functionality, and the underlying design principles. Why is Semaphore releasing a new API version? Semaphore […]
Weβre happy to announce that Semaphoreβs continuous integration and continuous delivery service is now part of the GitHub Marketplace. GitHub is a key platform for millions of development teams, and it gathers one of the largest communities of developers. Weβre proud to be one of the partners featured on their Marketplace. The Marketplace allows you […]
If you take heed of any of the many reports relating to cloud-native computing, then you’d be forgiven for thinking that every organization, large or small, is well on the way to a microservices-oriented application nirvana.
We’re happy to announce a new feature for a better control of your build queue β queued and started build cancellation strategy that ignores your default branch.
In this tutorial, we will test-drive an Elixir library and refactor it to leverage streams, while learning about Umbrella apps and handy testing techniques.
Learn how to deploy an Elixir Phoenix app to Heroku and set up Semaphore to continuously deploy each time tests pass on the master branch.
Add flexibility to your Rails models using Polymorphic Associations – Active Record associations that can connect a model to multiple other models.
N+1 queries are making your Rails app painfully slow. Learn how to eliminate them from your project.
To say that flaky tests are annoying is to put it mildly. They can decimate both a developer’s time and productivity, are notoriously difficult to deal with, and are unfortunately a reality of software development. Our collegues have written more general posts in the past about dealing with flaky tests and why it is important. […]
This tutorial was initially published on DailyDrip. Read the original post here. Introduction What’s the point of writing tests if you aren’t going to ensure they’re always passing? It’s important to set up a continuous integration service very early in a project. In this tutorial, you will learn how to set up continuous integration for […]
Summary Overview Continuous integration, continuous deployment, and continuous delivery are like vectors that have the same direction, but different magnitude. Their goal is the same: make our software development and release process faster and more robust. The key difference between the three is in the scope of automation applied. What gets people who are new […]
Introduction This tutorial is the third in our series on container orchestration with Docker Swarm. The first tutorial covered how to bootstrap a Docker Swarm Mode cluster, and the second tutorial covered how to schedule workloads across a Swarm cluster. This tutorial explores the topic of service consumption, both from within and externally to a […]
We’ve recently started redesigning Semaphore’s public API, and we’ve established some general guidelines and semantics for elements in the URI path. A good understanding of URI path element semantics can ease API usage, so we are presenting it here.
Introduction In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to perform integration testing on a Java web application with WireMock, and automate the tests by running them on Semaphore. The aim of integration testing is to expose the faults, defects, or bugs that can exist between various integrated units. This is done by validating their behaviour […]
