Overview of this book

<p>A microservice architecture helps you build your application as a suite of different services. This approach has been widely adopted as it helps to easily scale up your application with reduced dependencies. This way if a part of your application is corrupted, it can be fixed easily thereby eliminating the possibility of completely shutting down your software. This book will teach you how to leverage Java to build scalable microservices. You will learn the fundamentals of this architecture and how to efficiently implement it practically.</p> <p>We start off with a brief introduction to the microservice architecture and how it fares with the other architectures. The book dives deep into essential microservice components and how to set up seamless communication between two microservice end points. You will create an effective data model and learn different ways to test and deploy a microservices. You will also learn the best way to migrate your software from a monolith to a microservice architecture.</p> <p>Finishing off with monitoring, scaling and troubleshooting, this book will set a solid foundation for you to start implementing microservices.</p>

Summary


Microservice testing in itself is a very challenging task. There is no silver bullet in testing. It depends on many factors: team structure, DevOps capability, the available infrastructure, and so on. The rule, flow, or sequence of different types of testing changes according to these factors. A combination of testing techniques according to your organization's requirements is the most effective way. Automation testing is very important in the microservice architecture. It is another wheel to gain speed in microservice architecture. This will add more work for the QA team, as they have to write and maintain automated test cases. After all this, it doesn't mean that manual testing is not required. For actual user experience or sentimental testing, manual testing will be more helpful. So, a combination of both of these will be helpful and more productive.
