Today microservice architecture is widely implemented in various areas of software development. However, the changes in the testing process often lack the attention they deserve. The talk will discuss the main new challenges and opportunities that arise when testing microservices:

• Reappraisal of microservice testing approaches

• Smart endpoints and dumb pipes: testing methods at different levels of microservices

• Transition period: testing under conditions of a monolith and microservice collaboration

We also discuss why we had problems with testing automation in a monolith and show how the implementation of microservices makes testing automation much easier.

This talk reveals a process of creating a successful video-on-demand service starting from the ground up and maintaining few video players, ensuring the security of the content with different types of DRM.
