Testing Java Microservices: Using Arquillian, Hoverfly, AssertJ, JUnit, Selenium, and Mockito

Summary

Testing Java Microservices teaches you to implement unit
and integration tests for microservice systems running on the JVM.
YouпїЅll work with a microservice environment built using Java EE,
WildFly Swarm, and Docker. YouпїЅll learn how to increase your test
coverage and productivity, and gain confidence that your system
will work as you expect.

About the Technology

Microservice applications present special testing challenges.
Even simple services need to handle unpredictable loads, and
distributed message-based designs pose unique security and
performance concerns. These challenges increase when you throw in
asynchronous communication and containers.

About the Book

Testing Java Microservices teaches you to implement unit
and integration tests for microservice systems running on the JVM.
YouпїЅll work with a microservice environment built using Java EE,
WildFly Swarm, and Docker. YouпїЅll advance from writing simple unit
tests for individual services to more-advanced practices like chaos
or integration tests. As you move towards a continuous-delivery
pipeline, youпїЅll also master live system testing using technologies
like the Arquillian, Wiremock, and Mockito frameworks, along with
techniques like contract testing and over-the-wire service
virtualization. Master these microservice-specific practices and
tools and youпїЅll greatly increase your test coverage and
productivity, and gain confidence that your system will work as you
expect.
