Reality is Overrated: API Simulation for Microservice Testing

Thursday Oct 5

Room 19

Testing microservices is challenging. Dividing a system into components naturally creates inter-service dependencies, and each service has its own performance and fault-tolerance characteristics that need to be validated during development and the QA process. Join this one day workshop and learn the theory, techniques and practices needed to overcome this challenge.

  • Introduction to the challenges of testing distributed microservice systems
  • Breaking the reliance on dependent services and APIs
  • A practical guide to API simulation
  • Isolating tests within a large microservice ecosystem
  • Implementing fault-injection testing to validate nonfunctional requirements
  • The use of API simulation for testing work undertaken during dev/ops, legacy system and cloud migration, and high-volume load testing
