Installation and Configuration Testing: Who Does It and Why

In closed environments, automating deployment and testing is critically important. I will explain how to minimise errors and quickly create test environments — from a single host to distributed systems.

You’ll learn how local repositories enable operation without external networks and help prevent disk-related issues. I’ll also focus on testing on RedOS and CentOS, where balancing performance, usability, and security is essential.

I’ll outline the responsibilities of installation and configuration testers: verifying software installation, updates, and scalability, as well as managing dependencies and configuration changes.

This talk will benefit testers, DevOps engineers, and administrators working in isolated environments.
