Pact Contract Testing for Quarkus

Explore contract testing for microservices using the Pact framework in this comprehensive conference talk. Learn how to address the challenges of microservice testing, including integration issues and system-level confidence. Discover the benefits of contract tests as a lightweight alternative to integration testing, providing faster feedback loops and improved development efficiency. Follow along with practical demonstrations using Quarkus, and gain insights into implementing Pact across various Java frameworks and programming languages. Delve into topics such as independent deployment, decoupled microservices, consumer-driven contract testing, and continuous testing. Understand the test pyramid, Pact Broker, and error flow handling. Address common challenges in microservice architecture and compare contract testing to other approaches like open API specs. Enhance your microservice testing toolkit and catch integration issues early in the development process.
