In this lab we see how taskcat can be useful in testing an application. We will deploy a pre-configured application via CloudFormation and validate the functionality.
We will learn how to use taskcat to do a local deployment of our app and instruct taskcat not to delete the stack at completion using it as a test deployment tool.
In this lab, we’ll use taskcat’s –no-delete flag, which will retain the CloudFormation stack after the test is complete.
