Hello! My name is Frol Kryuchkov, I am a team leader in Avito. September 22, I invite everyone to our office at Backend United 2: Forcemeat - a meeting dedicated to backend testing. With colleagues, we will talk about the basic techniques of backend testing, the differences in testing in different languages, the CDC approach to testing microservices, the mechanics and difficulties of implementing Pact and find out how to create honest and effective insulation tests in microservice architecture. Besides me, representatives of Radio QA, Juno and Lifland Gaming will make presentations.

Under the cut - theses speeches speakers, a link to the registration and broadcast of the meeting.

Implementing a Consumer-Driven Contract approach for testing Avito's microservices

Frol Kryuchkov, Avito (Moscow)


Popular implementations of CDC testing create additional problems for programmers: waste of time on the description of interaction contracts, irrelevance of these contracts, own DSL. In order to avoid all these problems, we use native tests in Avito, written in the languages ​​of consumer services, which are assembled into a docker image and run on changes in the service on which they depend. In the report I will tell how we implemented our CDC testing and why we came to this decision.

Practical introduction to pact

Alexey Vinogradov, Vinogradov IT-Consulting (Düsseldorf)

“Pact is a collection of libraries that implement the Consumer-Driven Contract API testing approach. I will show the basic mechanics of the work Pact. In the second part I will talk about the difficulties that arise when implementing Pact on projects. ”

How to start testing and not balding

Andrey Skomorokhov, Lifland Gaming (Tallinn)

“We will try to systematize the main methods of testing the backend and discuss how testing differs in different languages.”

Honest, simple and fast insulation tests

Alexander Chumakin, Juno (Minsk)

“The presentation will explore Juno’s microservice architecture testing approaches, show how to create honest and effective insulation tests, how we maintain our highly loaded and ever changing system fully tested in minutes, and ensure stability and resiliency with continuous releases to production.”
