Snap CI vs Test Kitchen: What are the differences?
Developers describe Snap CI as "Build, test, and deploy software faster with Snap's continuous integration and deployment tool". Snap CI is a cloud-based continuous integration & continuous deployment tool with powerful deployment pipelines. Integrates seamlessly with GitHub and provides fast feedback so you can deploy with ease. 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.
Snap CI and Test Kitchen belong to "Continuous Integration" category of the tech stack.
"Github integration" is the primary reason why developers consider Snap CI 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.
