Contract Testing Overview

Contract Testing in API







Microservices :-

Microservices is an architectural design for building a distributed application using containers. Microservices get their name because each function of the application operates as an independent service. This architecture allows for each service to scale or update without disrupting other services in the application.



Contract Testing :- Contract testing is a way to ensure that services (such as an API provider and a client) can communicate with each other. Without contract testing, the only way to know that services can communicate is by using expensive and brittle integration tests.

A service consumer and a service provider interact with each other based on some protocol or rules. This set of rules of communication between two services is called Contract and the process of testing the communication between the two services based on this Contract is called Contract Testing.
