This is the third part in our series about our deployment of a JVM and AngularJS based application using Gradle as build tool and Docker as deployment vehicle. You’ll find the overview on all posts in the introductury post. As seen in the overview, our next step in the deployment pipeline performs so called e2e tests. The common Gradle project setup has already been described in part 2, so we can start with the Gradle script for the e2e test submodule.

This series of posts will show you some aspects of our continuous deployment pipeline for one of our products. It is built, tested and deployed to our servers by using Gradle, while the application itself runs inside Docker containers. We want to show you how we use Gradle to implement a complete pipeline with minimal dependency on command line tools. We’ll also describe how to perform rollouts to production without the need for shell scripts or even remote shell access, by using the Docker remote API.
