Integration Testing
Project Duration: April 2022-December 2025
Integration testing is a crucial part of the development of software systems, as it specifically tests the interactions and interfaces between individual software components or services. Especially in the context of microservice architectures, the relevance of integration testing increases.
The goal of this project is to better understand current challenges in integration testing, especially in a microservice context, and develop techniques and strategies to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the integration testing process.
