Testing microservices is a bit different from testing applications that have been built in 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 testing.
With the help of the testing pyramid concept, we can strategize our testing procedures. In terms of the testing pyramid, we can easily see that unit tests allow us to test a small function of a class, and they are less time-consuming. On the other hand, the top layer of the testing pyramid has 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 that's used for this purpose. Finally, we went...
