Testing Strategies for Micro Frontends
Thorough testing needs to be a compulsory condition to reach a high level of reliability, solidity and strongness of Micro Frontends.Testing strategies may include:
- Unit Tests: The unit tests are utilized for the validation of these modules or components which individually verifies that they behave as it should and meets the expectation of the requirements between the modules.
- Integration Tests: Integration testing determines whether or not there are any conflicts between the different micro frontend modules or between micro frontends and backend services, but there are no issues with their ability to work together properly.
- End-to-End Tests: End to end tests act as user interface mimics and establish the appropriate functionality across all the components of the application, thus confirming proper end to end behavior of the entire application.
- Contract Tests: In order to avoid a situation where Micro Frontends aren’t communicating with the backend services in a uniform way, i.e. according to the expected contracts and standards, these tests should be considered.
Automated unit tests with tools like Jest, Cypress, and Puppeteer can help to carry out testing at multiple levels and this will accelerate feedback cycles while ensuring the quality of Micro Frontends is at highest.
What are Micro Frontends?
Among the more widely accepted frameworks at the moment, there is a concept known to be a Micro Frontend. The technique extracts the ideas from microservice architecture in the backend portion and implements them in the front end by breaking down the irrelevant large frontend applications into more manageable self-sufficient components.
