Microservice testing
Microservice testing is a crucial aspect of developing robust and reliable microservices-based applications. As microservices are individual, independent services that interact with each other through APIs, they need to be thoroughly tested to ensure they function correctly both in isolation and when integrated with other services. Effective microservice testing involves a combination of unit testing, integration testing, and end-to-end testing to verify the functionality, performance, and stability of each service.
Here are the key types of microservice testing:
- Unit testing: Unit testing focuses on testing individual units or components of a microservice in isolation. It involves testing functions, methods, or classes to ensure they work as intended and produce the expected results. Unit tests are written to cover various scenarios and edge cases, providing quick feedback on the correctness of code implementations.
In microservices, unit tests typically...
