#### Testing

This project comes with a `test/main.yml` testing playbook. It uses `Docker` to provision containers locally and sets up a 3 node postgresql cluster with a barman server.

Coverage of this playbook is probably not complete but at least it's there.

If you are contributing, please first test your changes in a new playbook in the `test/` directory within docker containers, (using the targeted distribution), and if possible, ensure your change is covered in the tests found in [.travis.yml](./.travis.yml).
