Testing Microservices: an Overview of 12 Useful Techniques - Part 1
When building a microservice system, you will need to manage inter-dependent components in order to test in a cost and time effective way. You can use test doubles in your microservice tests that pretend to be real dependencies for the purpose of the test. However, there are many options for implementing this. This article provides an overview and tradeoffs of 12 techniques.
