How to end-to-end test microservices across bounded contexts?
There is more than one way to test user journeys that span multiple bounded contexts. Your choice depends on organizational structure, team responsibilities, and the maturity of your testing practices.
Ultimately, every part of the user journey should be tested, whether it’s done piecemeal by individual teams or centrally by a QA/cross-functional team.
In this article, let’s look at several ways you can approach this problem, depending on if you have full-stack teams or specialised frontend and backend teams. We will look at trade-offs and whether it’s best to host other teams’ services in your environment, or use mock APIs, or delegate testing user journeys to a QA team and use a dedicated integration environment for testing.
