Testing Microservices

" summary

Describes a concrete testing approach for a Java microservice called the Liberty starter that the team splits from a monolith into a dedicated zip service and tech services, using JUnit with Gradle/Maven builds, stubs and test doubles, and a standalone test service that exercises REST calls. Five explicit test types are asserted: unit, component, contract, integration and end‑to‑end; contract tests are consumer-driven, integration tests run in staging, Liberty starts fast enough to make component/server tests practical.
