Abstract

Automated testing struggles with issues such as data consistency, latency, and service dependencies complicate testing. Additionally, frequent deployments demand robust and scalable testing strategies. This paper will explore best practices for microservices testing. It will discuss challenges in real-time system validation and automation. Furthermore, we will examine strategies like service virtualization and contract testing. Advanced techniques, including AI-driven automation, will also be analyzed. We suggest a comprehensive testing framework for microservices.
