Test environment

Once development has taken place, and rudimentary unit and system testing was successful, a merge request is opened in the relevant Git repository. Once this merge request is approved and included in upstream, it will be on the develop branch.

The test environment is automatically re-deployed every hour on a VM infrastructure in the GÉANT lab environment. This ensures that the test environment always contains the newest versions of all components of GAP.

The test environment is meant for the GOAT to test new functionality and the stability of GAP. The routers that are targeted, are virtual routers managed by an EVE-NG instance. Once testing in the test environment has been concluded successfully, GAP components are ready to advance to the UAT environment.

The test environment contains all development builds of components, following semantic versioning principles.
