I have a react project and all the backend stuff is hosted as docker images. I understand most of what azure pipelines are and i have set up a initial pipeline which does the following. Installs nodes Installs packages Runs unit tests Finalises and builds the project Then publishes the artefact
This then continues to the release branch to deliver the artefact.
My question is, how and where would end to end testing fit in? Would it be in the initial pipeline or the release pipeline, additionally, how would this be done?. My confusion is that my application relies on a database, however if its running in a pipeline it will not have access to this. Using either puppeteer, or any other end to end testing library, I'm i meant to mimic a database, or can I run my docker instance within the pipeline for my backend services? If im completely missing the mark, please let me know as well.
