W7(PM): Solving the integration testing puzzle with Continuous API Assurance (Contract Testing)

In a world where new software applications are increasingly often built in a distributed (sometimes microservices-based) architecture, where multiple teams are building, deploying and running services and components independently, it can be hard to verify whether all these individual services can still communicate with one another over time. Contract Testing, also known as Continuous API Assurance, is a technique that can help you deploy your services with confidence in a distributed software system. This technique can be implemented in tools such as SmartBear's PactFlow and others. In this training course, you’ll learn what contract testing is, where it fits into your overall testing strategy and how the Pact framework can help you set up and run contract tests.
