Description
Spring Cloud Contracts is a powerful tool to do contract testing. Using it you will be able to provide a lot of confidence to your team when making production releases and create solid integration tests avoiding any dependencies with other teams.
Before contract testing, devs had functional testing and mock servers as unique alternatives for integration test creation. This two have multiple advantages but even more disadvantages like:
Slow tests.
False positives.
Human error proneness.
Late feedback.
Dependencies with other teams.
Once contract testing got into the landscape, it was able to remedy all this issues by permiting the two sides of the communication too agree on how the request and responses should look like through a contract. Nonetheless, contract testing is not here to replace functional tests or unit tests but to support them.
For all these reasons this course will provide you with multiple lectures for you to learn:
Which strategies are used to test applications.
What contract testing is and how can improve the quality of any project you work on.
How contract testing is implemented by Spring Cloud Contracts.
How to use Spring Cloud Contracts to make integration tests for HTTP communications.
How to share your contracts with the members that are to suppose to integrate.
To be able to harness this course completely is strongly recommended to have knowledge of Java language, basic Spring Boot and unit testing with Mokito and JUnit.
Who this course is for:
Java Devs who want to learn to do proper integration testing for HTTP communications
