A Revolution in Integration Testing of Microservices

Testing strategies for modern software architectures are evolving. As we transition from monolithic structures to team-sized microservices with crisp APIs aligned to bounded contexts, we encounter more stable testing surfaces. This shift leads many high-performing teams to favor integration tests over fine-grained, brittle unit tests.

These integration tests, which are closer to the functional requirements, prove more trustworthy and are more resilient to internal refactoring, though they may come with a higher cost. This presentation addresses the primary challenges of integration testing in the microservices era: cognitive overload, test isolation, and test execution speed. Join the testing revolution and discover how to enhance your software development team microservices testing efficiency and effectiveness.
