Dear members,
We would like to invite you to our next meetup with 2 interesting talks!
📆 Date: Tuesday, May 27, 2025
⏰ Time: 18:00
📍 Location: OK!Thess, Komotinis 2, ThessalonikiTalk #1
The Pact Alternative: Reliable Testing Beyond E2E: by Dimitris DranidisContract testing is a technique that ensures two interacting services function correctly by testing them in isolation, using a mock to simulate their communication. The exchanged messages form an agreement between the two parties, known as a contract. In Consumer-driven contract testing, the consumer specifies its expectations from the provider, forming a contract that the provider must fulfill. Since multiple consumers may rely on the same provider, this approach helps ensure compatibility across services.
This method aligns well with TDD/BDD principles, fostering incremental development and making it a natural fit for new product initiatives. This presentation will cover the fundamentals of Pact, best practices for writing Pact tests, and key lessons learned from applying Pact across multiple projects.
Talk #2
