Testing was easy when we were working with monolithic services. We would check out all the code, start the required processes, and then run all the tests. However, when migrating to microservices, it might seem like a daunting task. How do we run and test even just a couple of services at the same time, let alone testing all the services simultaneously?

The usual options are not great, and they force us to build extensive tooling just to enable our traditional practices. Instead, I'll share what is rarely discussed–how to build and test effectively when building microservices. In this talk, we'll review the requirements for test methodologies and how they can be applied to microservices. The goal is to learn how to transition to effective testing practices in a microservices world.
