Testing Microservices End-to-End in Isolation with API Contracts | Lewis Prescott | TestFlix 2022

Talk Takeaways: 1. The difference between mocks and API Contracts 2. How to code isolated end-to-end tests with Cypress & Pactflow 3. Benefits of using API contract stubs About The Talk: Testing in microservices can get tricky very quickly. Contract testing offers some ways to make Microservices Testing easier, quicker and less costly. Want to take your Microservices e2e testing to the next level? Want to deploy microservices with more confidence and move to continuous deployment? Then integrating contract stubs in to your end to end tests is for you. Using Cypress & Pactflow, I will demonstrate how you can run end-to-end tests with API contracts to provide more stable, easier to maintain and a more realistic test suite. #TestFlix #SoftwareTesting #APIcontracts #MicroservicesTesting About Lewis: Iโ€™m an experienced QA Lead at Cera Care (one of Europeโ€™s fastest-growing companies), having worked across different industries including Healthcare, Non-profit, Retail and PropTech.

JS Monthly #17: Lewis Prescott - Double up your component & integration tests with Supertest & Nock

This talk builds on my course for Test Automation University (https://testautomationu.applitools.com/javascript-api-testing/) Using the power of mocking and the tool Nock. You can build component and integration tests with one set of scripts. I will show you how this is possible and also explain the difference between component and integration tests. In order to make your tests fast and build tests at the right level, use the power of mocking. The JS Monthly Meetup was organised by Aris Markogiannakis (JS Monthly host) and hosted by Prisma. โœจ Join the Prisma Meetup group here: https://www.meetup.com/js-monthly/ Follow Lewis: Twitter: https://twitter.com/WuigPrescott Next: ๐Ÿ‘‰ Check Previous video: Heavily Connected Data Applications - https://youtu.be/D7C-97HgXTs โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” ๐Ÿ“š Learn more about Prisma โ€ข Website: https://www.prisma.io โ€ข Docs: https://www.prisma.io/docs โ€ข Quickstart: https://pris.ly/qstart โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” โ“ Get help with Prisma issues โ€ข Slack: https://slack.prisma.io โ€ข GitHub: https://www.github.com/prisma/prisma/discussions โ€ข Stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/prisma โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” ๐Ÿ’ฌ Follow Prisma on social media โ€ข Twitter: https://twitter.com/prisma โ€ข Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prisma.io/ โ€ข TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@prismadata โ€ข Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/prisma.io โ€ข LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/prisma-io โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” ๐Ÿ” Professional captions for your technical videos Prisma sponsors human-reviewed, professional closed captions for ANY video valuable to our community (for example, about: Node.js, TypeScript & Type Safety, Prisma, databases, etc).

TESTIMONIALS

Home: Testimonials

I attended Lewisโ€™s 99 minute Contract Testing workshop run by the Ministry of Testing. I took away lots of practical knowledge that I used to inform our engineering teams test strategy. Lewis has that rare gift of being able to explain something pretty technical to an audience who might not be as technical - and not only that, but in a way that actually sticks.
