Probo uses pre-built Docker images to power the docker containers that run each Probo build. These Probo Docker images were previously provisioned using Puppet, which is a tool we’ve used at Zivtech for server provisioning for a long time. Over the last year, we switched to using Ansible to provision these images, which was a fairly smooth transition after we figured out the new Ansible syntax. Overall, Ansible has made our Probo image builder code cleaner and easier to manage.
Your First Probo Build in 5 Minutes
March 13, 2018Have you been meaning to give Probo a spin but haven't had a chance? We created this five minute exercise (seriously, we timed it) for you to see your first build in action:
How Probo Makes Agile Development Easier
February 15, 2018Agile development was built on the idea that the development process should be collaborative. Cross-functional teams should work together to produce high quality results that are flexible to change. The agile development manifesto values individuals and interactions over processes and tools, so any tools used in the process should make it easier for individuals to work together.
Updates on Probo and Open Source
January 16, 2018We built Probo from the ground up with open source software (OSS) as a top priority. Zivtech, the company that built and supports Probo, is an “OSS shop,” and our values are OSS to the core. We value open source in our own code and product as well as the OSS that the broader development community is building. We’re focused on making Probo free and easy to use for OSS developers via the Probo.ci SaaS app.
Putting Your Probo and WPEngine Site Into Action
January 16, 2018In our last post, we covered how to set up a WPEngine site using Probo. This post will walk you through how to use Probo once your initial site is set up.
Setting up a WPEngine Site with Probo
January 10, 2018As a recent addition to the Zivtech team who doesn’t come from a technical background, I’ve been exposed to a lot of new technologies and terminologies. When our CEO assigned the task of getting a WPEngine site to work with Probo, I knew it would be a challenging learning experience. With less technical expertise than many other WPEngine users, I was prepared for potential speed bumps along the way.
Getting Started with Probo.CI for WordPress
December 8, 2017We often talk about Probo in regards to Drupal development because we do a lot of Drupal work at Zivtech. We originally built Probo to eliminate bottlenecks in our development workflow on our Drupal projects, but it can also be used to test any PHP and MySQL based application like WordPress or any other LAMP based CMS platforms.

November 9, 2017Thanks to contributor Michael Bagnall, also known as ElusiveMind on GitHub, our Probo Docs now include a section on setting up the Probo Open Source project!
Shift Left Testing and Continuous Collaboration
October 26, 2017At this year’s BADCamp I did a session with Thom Toogood, a Lead Drupal Developer at Deloitte Digital Australia, on Shift Left Testing and Continuous Collaboration.
Acquia BLT (Build & Launch Tools) now includes Probo support!
August 17, 2017Acquia BLT is an open source project that aims to provide pre-configured tools and tests for Drupal 8 projects, and it now has built-in support for Probo.CI. Out of the box Probo will:
