Have any of you done testing of microservices? I’m wondering if you have any resources you have found useful for it.
Some resources already shared in Slack from others are:
and for testing contracts between microservices:

Have you any others that you have found useful in your own search?
Hi,
If you are using spring boot I recommend to give a try to spring cloud contract: https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-contract/spring-cloud-contract.html.
It has a good support here: https://gitter.im/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-contract.
Also, I found really useful the book “Building Microservices” from Saw Newman, specially the testing chapter, but the whole book is interesting:
Hope it helps!
This is my favourite resource https://martinfowler.com/articles/microservice-testing/
My ex-colleague Daniel has a bloody excellent conference talk on building Microservices, though it’s not testing specific:
I actually wrote a case study reflecting on testing a microservices application for our company blog, but it got taken down as we wanted to maintain more client confidentiality. I may try to republish it and anonymise the particular client/system, as I feel there are some excellent lessons within it!
Hi there.
Recently, I have involved into testing and automation of microservices a lot.
Here is the most useful resources I found. It also contains materials on contract testing as well.
I hope, it will help others to get into microservices deeply.
