Abstract:
With the rise of Microservice architectures and demands of Continuous Delivery, the need for systems to be well tested before they hit production has never been higher. In order to support this, it is crucial that the libraries and architectures we choose actively treat testing as a first class citizen.

This talk is a whirlwind mix of Kotlin live-coding and theory that covers the various types of testing that teams should be doing, and how the http4k ecosystem has been built from the ground up to make both developing and testing your apps a breeze. We will be coding parts of a simple application in a Test-Driven way and exploring more advanced subjects such as Approval, Contract and Chaos Testing.

Takeaways:
Attendees will gain insights into several techniques of effective Microservice testing that are relevant regardless of your choice of technology, and gain specific knowledge about the capabilities provided by the http4k community.

Level:
Intermediate, but theory sections will be suitable for all audience levels.
