Microservices Testing with Java

on YouTube ↗47m

" summary

Focuses on building a practical testing foundation: prioritize many fast unit tests and fewer integration/end-to-end checks, then concentrate on integration and component tests as the next layer. Demonstrates concrete tools and setups: JUnit 5, Mockito, AssertJ, RestAssured for controllers, MockServer/WireMock for remote services, Testcontainers to spin real databases in Docker and Spring’s ServiceConnection to inject ports/credentials, out‑of‑process checks against a Jib-built container, and ReportPortal for live results, logs, screenshots and Jira-linked investigation.
