Testcontainers Experience for local development and testing
In this session, we'll deep dive into the world of Testcontainers, explore the open source Testcontainers libraries, and their companion application, and learn how to make local development and testing with real dependencies simpler. Based on the Spring Boot application, I’ll show how to:
- Utilize Testcontainers to provision application-dependent services like PostgreSQL, Kafka, and LocalStack for local development;
- Leverage Testcontainers Desktop for efficient local development and debugging;
- Use Testcontainers Cloud to execute tests without worrying about resources.
Agenda:
- Introduction to Testcontainers for Java
- Explain the fundamental concept of Testcontainers of having (test-)infrastructure as code as part of tests and test execution
- Testcontainers modules
- Testcontainers for local development
- Application overview: microservice based on Spring Boot for managing a catalog of products that uses PostgreSQL, Kafka, and LocalStack.
- Local development environment with Testcontainers: how to run PostgreSQL, Kafka, and LocalStack without installing these services on your local machine.
- Testcontainers Desktop app for local debugging
- Use of fixed ports
- Use of reusable containers
- Testcontainers for local testing
- Testcontainers-based integration test suite overview
- Change of test execution runtimes
