SATURN 2020

Implementing test strategy for a microservice architecture is a different challenge than that of testing a monolith. This is especially true of defining test strategy after the architecture is complete. I stepped into a test architect role for a company using microservices and I implemented (and learned!) a lot.

I will cover the following:
• onboarding and learning: questions to ask while learning the system you will design and implement testing for
• finding quick wins to add to test coverage as early as possible
• novel testing types, such as consumer-driven contracts and mutation testing
• determining the best test modalities for the problem at hand
• working with challenges, both cultural and technical
• building the most advantageous partnerships across the organization

Join me to learn my successes and failures, the lessons I’ve taken with me, and the architecture and testing best practices created as a result of this experience.
