About This Episode

Even if you test your microservices in isolation, it’s challenging—and potentially dangerous—to test a live microservices system that’s changing and growing. In this episode Brandon Byars, author of Testing Microservices with Mountebank, shares how service virtualization can help imitate the components of a distributed microservices application. Discover tips on how this approach can take your microservices testing efforts to the next level.
