Comprehensive Testing Strategies for Modern Microservice Architectures

Explore comprehensive testing strategies for modern microservice architectures in this 57-minute conference talk from NDC's Copenhagen Developer's Festival. Delve into the challenges of testing distributed systems and learn about various test types, including unit, integration, contract, end-to-end, and performance tests. Discover how to write efficient tests at every application level, demonstrated using Go microservices. Gain insights on code robustness and fuzz testing to ensure services can handle diverse inputs and produce meaningful errors. Learn to implement tests as release safeguards by integrating them into service CI pipelines, illustrated with GitHub Actions. Master the art of verifying integrations between services and communicating expected behaviors across engineering teams in complex, evolving microservice architectures.
