How can contract testing boost your efficiency? Stay tuned to find out!
Contract testing is a hidden gem. It combines the strengths of unit tests and integration tests, allows for safe deployment, and promotes better team communication – but not many testers know about this game-changing approach.
Marie Drake, Senior Developer Advocate at Grafana Labs, and Lewis Prescott, Test Specialist at IBM, put their great minds and collective experience together to write Contract Testing In Action; a book where readers get to know the ins and outs of contract testing.
In this episode, Lewis & Marie explain contract testing and how it could improve testing efficiency by detecting communication problems early in the development cycle.
