Contract testing is quickly becoming a very popular technique to ease the burden of integration and end-to-end testing in distributed systems. However, adopting 'traditional' (consumer-driven) contract testing has proven to be quite a challenge for many teams and organizations. Enter bidirectional contract testing (BDCT). This new approach to contract testing leverages existing technology and infrastructure to make the adoption of contract testing much, much easier. In this talk, you'll see why adopting 'traditional' contract testing is difficult for many teams, and how BDCT can serve as an alternative that is much easier to adopt. To make this topic come alive much more than would be possible through slides alone, you'll see a live demo of BDCT in action. After this session, you'll have a much better idea of the impact of contract testing, the challenges that teams face when adopting it, as well as how BDCT can help lighten the burden of contract testing adoption.
