Testing in a Service-Based Environment, Staged Acceptance

on YouTube ↗45m

" summary

Testing in service-based systems requires concrete rules and tooling rather than vague advice. The talk covers issues like an ESB (Tibco) that transforms data and exposes Google Maps integration which forces consumers to be tested twice; the team builds test drivers and mocks and evaluates commercial virtual service tools but finds maintenance expensive. To reduce risk and effort they run some integration tests against production, use risk-based selective regression testing, and create formal Generic Test Agreements with partners.
