Microservices Testing Strategies

Microservice architectures place great emphasis on autonomous product teams that develop and deploy equally autonomous services using decentralized release management, testing, and deployment strategies. I don’t have to wait on you to deploy my service, and you don’t have to wait on me. And yet the complexity associated with managing these large, distributed systems seems like it would demand even greater discipline and centralized coordination of testing activities. Fortunately, while greater discipline is in fact required, we don’t require the centralized coordination that would seem to destroy many of the benefits of embracing microservices. In this session will examine principles and practices that will help us develop an effective testing strategy for microservices.
