Summary
In this chapter, we delved into the critical role of testing in microservice architecture. Building upon our previous exploration of microservice creation, we emphasized the importance of rigorous testing for ensuring code quality and reliability. We introduced the concepts of unit and integration testing, explaining their distinct purposes and benefits.
To solidify our understanding, we implemented unit tests for both the account and transaction microservices. These tests verified the correct behavior of individual code units in isolation. Additionally, we explored the nuances of mocks, stubs, and spies, demonstrating their utility in isolating components during testing.
To assess the interactions between different microservices, we introduced integration testing. By combining unit tests with integration tests, we established a robust testing strategy for our microservices.
In the next chapter, we will dive into the practical implementation of CI/CD pipelines. We...
