Full-Stack Quality Engineering for Microservices Architectures
Software development is trending toward building systems using small, autonomous, independently deployable microservices. Leveraging microservices makes it easier to release software early, more frequently, and even continuously, which aligns well with Agile and DevOps.
But how does the microservices architectural pattern affect software Quality Engineering and Test Automation?
How can you ensure microservice-based applications have an adequate level of test coverage at each level?
Here, We will learn how unit testing, integration testing, and mocking are done at the class and microservice levels, and dive into more advanced techniques such as contract testing, integration test ordering, neighborhood integration, and more.
Introduction
Microservices architecture has revolutionized the way software is developed and deployed. By breaking down applications into smaller, manageable services, teams can develop, test, and deploy components independently.
This flexibility supports rapid iteration, continuous integration, and continuous deployment, making it a perfect fit for Agile and DevOps methodologies.
However, the decentralized nature of microservices introduces unique challenges in ensuring comprehensive test coverage and maintaining system integrity.
