## プロジェクトの歴史と使われ方

Molecule is an Ansible testing framework for developing and testing Ansible collections, playbooks, and roles. The Ansible project README credits Retr0h as the creator and describes the project as community-maintained as part of Ansible by Red Hat. Its official documentation presents Molecule as a framework that uses standard Ansible concepts such as inventory, playbooks, and collections to test systems reachable through containers, virtual machines, cloud infrastructure, APIs, databases, network devices, and other targets.

### プロジェクトの歴史

The major adoption turning point came in 2018, when Ansible announced that it would adopt molecule and ansible-lint as official Red Hat Ansible projects. The announcement said the tools were community-built and important to Ansible automation development, thanked Cisco and John Dewey for work on Molecule, and described migration of the repositories to the ansible GitHub organization while keeping the PyPI package name molecule. That move gave Molecule a formal place in the Ansible toolchain rather than leaving it as a separate community utility.

### 採用の歴史

In practice, Molecule gives role and collection authors a repeatable local and CI workflow: initialize a scenario, create or converge test instances, run Ansible content, then verify behavior through Ansible-native checks or external verifiers. The docs show CI use with GitHub Actions, Travis CI, GitLab CI, Azure Pipelines, and molecule test. Community adoption is visible in Ansible role maintainers replacing homegrown Docker-based test rigs with Molecule-based tests after the Red Hat adoption announcement.

### 使われ方

The project broadened from role-only testing toward playbooks and collections. Red Hat's 2023 Molecule 6 developer-preview article framed Molecule as part of the Ansible Automation Platform developer experience and emphasized functional testing for Ansible content, including collection-level testing and making the Testinfra verifier optional in favor of Ansible-native validation.
