Abstract
Tests are an integral part of any application. They are a safety net to refactor applications and also great living documentation. Beginning with unit tests, we’ll see how to write thorough but also maintainable tests, and how the key to do so is to focus on the message-passing. Moving up the pyramid, we’ll then go through end-to-end tests, but also component and contract tests. These last two are becoming increasingly important, since it’s hard to maintain end-to-end tests in microservice architectures.
