Testing Triangle in Microservices: Beyond Unit, Integration, and GUI - Lecture

Explore a conference talk that challenges traditional testing paradigms in the context of microservices architecture. Delve into the relevance of the classic testing triangle (Unit/Integration/GUI) in highly distributed environments. Examine alternative test goals and hypotheses for microservices, and discover tools to support effective testing strategies. Learn how to critically evaluate when to initialize application containers, validate service contracts, and determine the value of mimicking production environments with test containers. Gain insights into applying unit and integration tests effectively in Java-based microservices, and expand your understanding of testing methodologies beyond conventional approaches.
