In this chapter, we discussed how we must realign our testing strategies to provide the necessary confidence within the context of cloud-native systems. We looked at how we need to shift testing to the left and make it an integral part of the deployment pipeline. Each task branch workflow implements just enough code to accomplish the task and all that code is completely tested. All automated testing is performed within the pipeline to ensure that we fail fast, and with a tight feedback loop. This necessitates testing components in isolation to account for the complexities of testing distributed systems. We leverage transitive testing techniques to accomplish end-to-end testing as an aggregation of multiple isolated tests. Test automation has transformed the traditional tester role into a test-engineering discipline. However, we still need to perform manual exploratory...

Overview of this book
Build systems that leverage the benefits of the cloud and applications faster than ever before with cloud-native development. This book focuses on architectural patterns for building highly scalable cloud-native systems. You will learn how the combination of cloud, reactive principles, devops, and automation enable teams to continuously deliver innovation with confidence.
Begin by learning the core concepts that make these systems unique. You will explore foundational patterns that turn your database inside out to achieve massive scalability with cloud-native databases. You will also learn how to continuously deliver production code with confidence by shifting deployment and testing all the way to the left and implementing continuous observability in production. There's more—you will also learn how to strangle your monolith and design an evolving cloud-native system.
By the end of the book, you will have the ability to create modern cloud-native systems.
