With traditional software unit tests, there's never a guarantee that an application will actually function correctly in the production environment. And when you add microservices, remote resources that are accessible over a network, into the mix, testing is more tricky. To make things even harder, microservices typically need to collaborate with additional network-based microservices, making testing even more challenging.

In this session you'll learn test strategies that solve the most common issues you are likely to encounter when writing tests for microservices architecture. Also you'll learn how tools such as Arquillian, JUnit, Docker or techniques suck as service virtualization or consumer-driven testing can help you on this task.
