Testing Microservices with Mountebank

By Brandon Byars

Summary

Testing Microservices with Mountebank is your guide to the ins and outs of testing microservices with service virtualization. The book offers unique insights into microservices application design and state-of-the-art testing practices that will deepen your microservices skills and improve your applications.

About the Technology

Even if you lab test each service in isolation, it's challenging--and potentially dangerous--to test a live microservices system that's changing and growing. Fortunately, you can use Mountebank to "imitate" the components of a distributed microservices application to give you a good approximation of the runtime conditions as you test individual services.
