The shift towards microservices and modular applications makes testing more important and more challenging at the same time. You have to make sure that the microservices running in containers perform well and as intended, but you can no longer rely on conventional testing strategies to get the job done.

By defining syntax and semantics in a standardized way and testing microservices based on their ability to generate the right message formats and meet behavioral expectations, you can rest assured knowing that the microservices will behave as intended when deployed.

By allowing for asynchronous testing, you can also make sure that components or microservices can be updated independently to one another. We’ve covered the different ways to test microservices and how you can have a suitable testing strategy to begin with.
