The software development and testing process is an ever-evolving field. There has been a paradigm shift from a monolithic development approach to a microservices architecture, owing to the domain-specific development needs and faster time to market expectations.
Micro-services are independent services built around specific business functionalities, each performing its own process and communicating with other services via a set of API.
These services can be developed, deployed, and maintained independently. They can form an ecosystem that represents a larger business scenario, with help of pre-established communication protocols.
Micro-service architecture renders a helping hand in the CI/CD process since it allows cross-functional teams to develop, test, troubleshoot and deploy faster and effectively. Different teams are responsible for developing and maintaining different services. If one service is under development/modification, the others can work without affecting the functioning of the whole setup. This isolated development allows for the flexibility of using different programming languages and databases based on the functionality.
Clearly, using micro-service architecture has given the opportunity to advance software development and in particular agile DevOps teams.
Many well-known organizations like e-Bay, Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, etc. leverage the capabilities of the micro-service architecture.
The testing strategies for Micro-service architecture are different from monolithic ones and have their own challenges. While there are multiple hurdles one can face during testing, we are focusing on major 4 in this particular article.

At Webomates, every micro-service is tested independently to ensure its proper functioning. Once that is done, comprehensive integration testing and end-to-end testing is conducted.
Automated Canary testing is employed for testing micro-services, thus limiting the exposure of changes to a small set of users. Once the build is successful, it is launched for all target users.
We use AI powered automated testing. It helps in identifying changes made to the module under test (either as a result of requirement change or defect rectification). Test cases are modified accordingly within the same test cycle.
Our defect triaging speeds up defect reporting, analysis and rectification time.
At Webomates, we continuously work to evolve our platform and processes, in order to provide guaranteed execution, which takes testing experience to an entirely different level, thus ensuring a higher degree of customer satisfaction.
