Hi Geoff,  thank you for your question.

Chaos Monkey offers the developer a great set of possible problems like increasing the latency, increasing the use of CPU/memory, random problems on the response, and exceptions that stop the application.

The main problem with this library is you can't create simulations automatically, you need to do all the modifications to the scenarios. using the endpoints that offer the library. For that reason, I propose using another tool combined with Chaos Monkey to create a hypothesis that needs validation so you can create different scenarios that change the application context without your intervention in each step. You can think of this approach as a type of testing

The series aims to show a real scenario and how the different types of tests help you solve it. I choose a set of tools for each type of test, but if you understand the problem and how to solve it in the future, you can choose other alternatives.

Most tools are agnostic to one framework, so you can use them on Spring Boot, Quarkus, or other frameworks.

Hi Ozay,

micro-frontend is not my field of expertise, so I don't know if there is some tool that covers the contract testing between both things (microservices and micro-frontends).

Hey everyone!

My name is Andres Sacco, a Technical Leader at TravelX, and I am excited to promote my live project series about using Microservices Testing in Java applications. The series will show you different types of testing that are not connected directly with unit testing there are a lot of online resources that explain this topic in detail.

I developed a real scenario that contains a series of microservices where you can learn the different types of tests (available via Manning Publishing at https://tinyurl.com/4bw67wkf). Each live project will teach you how to solve a specific problem on different microservices and run the test in a pipeline.

I will be around the week of Aug 9th, 2022, to answer questions and share stories.
