Setting up your environment

In this chapter, we will create and run a series of tests for the Guestbook chart created in the previous chapter. Run the following steps to set up your minikube environment, where we will test the Guestbook chart:

  1. Start minikube by running the minikube start command:
    minikube start
  2. Then, create a new namespace called chapter6:
    kubectl create namespace chapter6

With your minikube environment ready, let's begin by discussing how Helm charts can be tested. We will begin the discussion by outlining the methods you can use to verify your Helm templates.
