Testing Microservices: Lessons learned From development to production

Testing microservices is challenging. Dividing a system into components (à la microservices) naturally creates inter-component dependencies, and each service has its own performance and fault-tolerance characteristics that need to be validated during development, the QA process, and continually in production. Attend this session to learn from Abraham and Daniel’s experience (and mistakes):

• Learn how to isolate tests within a complex microservice ecosystem
• Explore the tradeoffs with various test double approaches
• Learn about curating test data that is appropriate in volume and diversity
• Hear about several tools for automating vulnerability and security scanning

Required audience experience:

Experience working with microservices, basic software testing understanding and CI/CD

Objective of the talk:

• Overview of challenges of testing distributed microservice systems
• Learn how to isolate tests within a complex service ecosystem
• Explore the tradeoffs with test double implementation
• Learn about curating test data that is appropriate in volume and diversity
• Overview of CD security testing
