Testing microservices is a bit different from applications built on the traditional architectural style. In a .NET monolithic application, testing is a bit easier compared to microservices, and it provides implementation independence and short delivery cycles. Microservices face challenges while performing the testing. With the help of the testing pyramid concept, we can strategize our testing procedures. Referring to the testing pyramid, we can easily see that unit tests provide the facility to test a small function of a class and are less time-consuming. On the other hand, the top layer of the testing pyramid enters a large scope with system or end-to-end testing, and these tests are time-consuming and very expensive. Consumer-driven contracts are a very useful way to test microservices. Pact-net is an open source tool meant for this. Finally, we went through the actual...

Overview of this book
The microservices architectural style promotes the development of complex applications as a suite of small services based on business capabilities. This book will help you identify the appropriate service boundaries within your business. We'll start by looking at what microservices are and their main characteristics.
Moving forward, you will be introduced to real-life application scenarios; after assessing the current issues, we will begin the journey of transforming this application by splitting it into a suite of microservices using C# 7.0 with .NET Core 2.0. You will identify service boundaries, split the application into multiple microservices, and define service contracts. You will find out how to configure, deploy, and monitor microservices, and configure scaling to allow the application to quickly adapt to increased demand in the future.
With an introduction to reactive microservices, you’ll strategically gain further value to keep your code base simple, focusing on what is more important rather than on messy asynchronous calls.
