Validate that the system meets business requirements and user expectations using behavior-driven testing frameworks.
Validate that the system meets business requirements and user expectations using behavior-driven testing frameworks.
Test service boundaries and data flows with component tests, API contract tests, database integration tests, and test containers for reproducible environments.
Validate API contracts between services to catch breaking changes early and enable safe microservices development.
Test complete user workflows across all system layers to validate real-world behavior and user experience.
Detect and fix flaky tests to maintain CI/CD reliability and trust in test results.
Test environments should mirror production to catch environment-specific bugs before deployment.
Integrate testing into CI/CD; manage flakiness; automate test data generation.
Generate and manage test data efficiently and safely for reproducible, maintainable tests.
Design test environments that are realistic, ephemeral, and respect privacy.
Organize tests by scope and speed; structure for fast feedback and broad coverage.
Test individual functions and classes in isolation.
