dockersh vs Testcontainers: What are the differences?
Developers describe dockersh as "A shell which places users into individual docker containers". dockersh is designed to be used as a login shell on machines with multiple interactive users. When a user invokes dockersh, it will bring up a Docker container (if not already running), and then spawn a new interactive shell in the container's namespace. On the other hand, Testcontainers is detailed as "A library that integrates Docker with testing libs - for databases, Selenium web browsers, or anything else that can run in a Docker container". It is a Java library that supports JUnit tests, providing lightweight, throwaway instances of common databases, Selenium web browsers, or anything else that can run in a Docker container.
dockersh and Testcontainers can be categorized as "Container" tools.
