Is there any tool available for testing Micro Services? Can SOAPUI/Ready API be used?

Hi Rajasekhar,

 

This is an interesting question and topic, but also quite an open one! Rather than try to say yes / no in broad terms, to help narrow things, given the principles of Microservices:

Principle 1 - Modelled Around Business Domain

Principle 2 - Culture Of Automation

Principle 3 - Hide Implementation Details

Principle 4 - Decentralize All The Things

Principle 5 - Deploy Independently

Principle 6 - Consumer First

Principle 7 - Isolate Failure

Principle 8 - Highly Observable

 

Are there any principles in particular that you would like to test? As I understand, in client test terms, a microservice is often like a lot of other REST services, which SoapUI has good support for testing. Is there any particular interface test needs that you have in mind?

 

One of the things that keeps people using SoapUI for a whole range of API test use cases (despite the name containing the word SOAP!) is the flexibility and extensibility of the tool e.g. the ability to improvise using scripting to plug any gaps in UI based functionality.
