Consumer-driven contract testing, a path to test in isolation with confidence

Dear DevOps Community

I would like to invite you to another Online Meetup. I am very happy that Raquel Bautista shares with us here experience with contract testing.

Abstract:
I came across contract testing technique a few years ago in a test conference. Since then, every time I mention it I get a lot of comments like ‘What is that about?` `I have never heard of this before`.

While integration testing in isolation is becoming more requested and common, it raises a big concern between engineers, how do we know we are testing against the right assumptions? This is where contract testing can help us give us the confidence that we are testing the right thing and prove early our services can communicate.

I will explain my experience in applying this technique, why we chose Pact as the framework to do consumer-driven contract testing, and hopefully give you a better understanding to then know if this is something that you can introduce in your strategy and how.

Bio:
Raquel recently joined FanDuel as Lead Quality Engineer where she is helping to define what a good test strategy looks like. Before this she worked in different Agile teams as QE, she is passionate about quality an how to work with the engineers to create a quality ownership culture.

After the talk there will be enough time for questions and discussions.

Agenda:
