Testing Java Microservices
With traditional software unit tests, there’s never a guarantee that an application will actually function correctly in the production environment. And when you add microservices, remote resources that are accessible over a network, into the mix, testing is more tricky. To make things even harder, microservices typically need to collaborate with additional network-based microservices, making testing even more challenging. Moving to microservices implies a change in the mindset of developers, so will using old testing techniques with new architectures still work?
In this session, you’ll learn test strategies that solve the most common issues likely to be encountered when writing tests for a microservices architecture. We will look at how tools such as Arquillian, JUnit, Docker and techniques such as service virtualization, consumer-driven testing and testing in production with Istio can aid in accomplishing this task.
