Testing Microservices

on YouTube ↗08m

" summary

Emphasizes that microservices require testing across service boundaries and verifying agreed protocols, not just running the monolith end to end; tests run in isolation and simulate failures so a broken service raises alerts. Recommends more mocking and test-driven development, warns against tests that call APIs with no assertions, and measures success by whether changing code makes tests fail — proving tests actually exercise the behavior.
