Practical Contract Testing with Spring Cloud Contract
summary
Claim: contract tests give unit-test speed with real integration validation by generating stubs and verifier tests. Implementation details: contracts written (Groovy or Java) feed Spring Cloud Contract's stub-runner and contract-verifier, stubs use WireMock and Rest Assured, generated producer tests run against mocked behavior, messaging contracts publish and consume test messages. Example tradeoffs: consumer-driven contracts, separate contract repo or producer-hosted contracts, developer training and process changes, not a silver bullet but prevents many late integration breaks.
