I want to create unit tests which call icontrol functions that run as part of a build process. Is there a way to mimic the functions of the BIGIP via some sort of exe\dll so that my unit tests do not ...
Hey Wayney,
There is not such a thing at this time, and while there might be one day, I've never heard any mention of this type of thing in the works.
One thing you might do is run the tests and then (without calling save_config) reload the configuration - then you're modifying the load balancer but only for the length of the tests.
Another option is to create testing Virtuals, which is what I do on the BIG-IP I use for testing. It must be both test and production, so I have virtuals, pools, and nodes that are testing only and run all of my tests against them. That leaves me with only items that effect the entire BIG-IP having to be scheduled to test.
Don.
