Lowering IT Infrastructure Costs with Simulation

Applications built on microservices require a different approach to testing – but they also provide an opportunity to shift testing even further left. There are several things that developers and testers can do prior to deployment to validate that new features are safe to deploy into the integrated environment. By working together to shift more testing to the feature level, they can reduce the amount of API and functional testing that's required and improve test coverage across the board.

In this session, we'll share a few strategies for shifting more testing to the feature level that can save time down the road, including:

• Early-stage prototyping and mocking using code-level simulations
• Deploying simulation as a part of the build process
• Integrating contract testing to ensure API changes don't break your application.
• Deploying mocks and contracts as a part of the DevOps process
