Testing microservices: From development to production

Testing microservices is challenging. Dividing a system into components naturally creates inter-service dependencies, and each service has its own performance and fault-tolerance characteristics that need to be validated during development, the QA process, and continually in production. Join Daniel Bryant to learn about the theory, techniques, and practices needed to overcome this challenge. Here is what you can find in this session:

Introduction to the challenges of testing distributed microservice systems
Learn how to isolate tests within a complex microservice ecosystem
Introduction to consumer-driven contract testing
Explore how API simulation can be used for testing work undertaken during DevOps, legacy system and high-volume load testing
Implementing fault-injection testing to validate nonfunctional requirements in development and QA
An introduction and discussion of the need for continually validating microservice systems running in production, both through observability and chaos engineering
