Codeship vs Test Kitchen: What are the differences?
Developers describe Codeship as "A Continuous Integration Platform in the cloud". Codeship runs your automated tests and configured deployment when you push to your repository. It takes care of managing and scaling the infrastructure so that you are able to test and release more frequently and get faster feedback for building the product your users need. On the other hand, Test Kitchen is detailed as "Integration tool for developing and testing infrastructure code and software on isolated target platforms". Test Kitchen has a static, declarative configuration in a .kitchen.yml file at the root of your project. It is designed to execute isolated code run in pristine environments ensuring that no prior state exists. A plugin architecture gives you the freedom to run your code on any cloud, virtualization, or bare metal resources and allows you to write acceptance criteria in whatever framework you desire.
Codeship and Test Kitchen can be primarily classified as "Continuous Integration" tools.
"Simple deployments" is the primary reason why developers consider Codeship over the competitors, whereas "Automated testing" was stated as the key factor in picking Test Kitchen.
Test Kitchen is an open source tool with 1.62K GitHub stars and 543 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Test Kitchen's open source repository on GitHub.
