Microservices Test Automation

Reliable quality work depends on more than knowing a tool name. In Microservices Test Automation, participants learn to implement automated checks for service components, contracts, APIs, messages and resilience behaviour within a distributed system, using automation architecture for distributed services and component tests around service business logic as practical anchors. Participants create fast service tests, automate consumer and provider contracts, validate events, virtualise dependencies and collect correlation evidence across a CI-friendly suite. The programme also examines rest or rpc api automation and semantic assertions so that decisions remain maintainable, observable and useful to the wider delivery team. The project demonstrates how automation can localise failures and support independent service delivery without an oversized end-to-end environment.
