Summary
In this chapter, we learned about testing microservices applications to ensure our developed software meets the requirements set by the stakeholders. We walked through the principles of testing microservices and then started testing the individual software components by unit testing. When we covered the components, we mastered end-to-end testing to try out the application as a whole and determine if it worked as expected. Finally, we automated an end-to-end test with Selenium.
This gives you control over the quality of the software you deliver and enhances your reputation as a developer. Moreover, you save your organization costs by finding and fixing errors as soon as possible.
In the next chapter, you’ll learn how to run the Django microservices and RESTful API as Docker containers, which makes our microservices application even more robust, independent, transportable, and scalable.
