Sometimes, manually testing becomes a nightmare. Too many conditions, too much to think of for testing. Helm charts supporting various configuration combinations tend to introduce regression bugs with new features.

In "common" development, there are automated tests verifying a desired behavior. Same concept can be adopted to Helm charts.
There is an interesting blog post about BDD driven chart development and testing that sounds interesting.

We should consider evaluating the mentioned helm plugin for testing charts with a more up-to-date fork of the mentioned repository.

If this works for us, we can easily write those tests and add them to the drone build.
