Key Concepts

Foundations of Traditional Architecture: Learn the core principles behind traditional application designs, including monolithic and layered architectures, to understand how robust and maintainable systems are built.

Transitioning to Microservices:Discover strategies for breaking down large applications into smaller, flexible components. Learn how transitioning from monolithic to microservices enhances agility and simplifies testing.

Understanding & Connecting a Decomposed Architecture: Master the key concepts of decomposed systems by exploring best practices for connecting microservices. Learn effective communication patterns that ensure reliable, scalable interactions across services.

API Testing Foundations: Learn the fundamentals of API testing, including API documentation, HTTP methods, status codes, authentication, and authorization. Explore essential tools like Postman and REST Assured to validate API functionality.

Microservices Testing with Cucumber BDD: Understand microservices architecture and its testing challenges. Learn key testing strategies, including integration and end-to-end testing. Implement Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) using Cucumber to create clear, automated test scenarios that improve collaboration between developers and testers.

Microservices Testing & Mocking: Gain hands-on experience in microservices testing by writing Cucumber tests, executing integration and end-to-end tests, and addressing common testing challenges. Learn to use mock servers with Postman to simulate APIs.
