What is Microservices Testing?
Microservices testing concerns assessing each microservice and the way it cooperates with one or several other microservices as part of a broader system to ascertain its appropriate functioning in isolation and combination with the other microservices. Given the distributed nature of microservices, testing must cover various levels:
- Unit Testing: Tests the part of the microservice individually, for example, tests only the functionality of one of its components.
- Integration Testing: Abstracted ensures that many microservices solve their problems and interface with one another and other systems.
- End-to-End Testing: Ensures that each functional microservice within the overall application is working and integrated correctly with other microservices from the end-user perspective, including all stages of user interaction with the application.
End-to-End Microservices Testing
Microservices have taken the software development world by storm as it changed the Monolithic architecture into the Microservices architecture where the application is divided into various smaller services that interact with each other in the form of APIs. The said approach has the following benefits: It is more scalable, carved out, and has a shorter time to deployment. Conducting tests on these distributed systems is on the other hand a very big challenge due to problems including integration and performance.
