Testing microservices could be a challenging job as it is different from how we test applications built using the traditional architectural style. In a .NET monolithic application, testing is a bit easier compared to microservices, which provides implementation independence and short delivery cycles.
Let's understand it in the context of our .NET monolithic application, where we did not utilize continuous integration and deployment. It becomes more complex when testing is combined with continuous integration and deployment. In microservices, we will be required to understand the tests for every service and how these tests differ from each other. Also, note that automated testing does not mean that we will not perform any manual testing at all.
Here are a few things that make microservice testing a complex and challenging task:
- Microservices might have multiple services that work together or individually for an enterprise system, so they can be complex.
- Microservices...
