• There is an ‘Employee’ service which provides endpoints to create, update and get employees details.
• There is a ‘Dashboard’ which is exposed to HRs that internally calls the ‘Employee’ service APIs, lets call this dashboard as consumer of employee service. • A scalable test approach needs to be created that:
[] Consumer contract for Dashboard service and Provider contract for Employee service.
[] Note: Contract represents A document that contains the expected mocked Http response on a mocked Http request.
[] Use pact-python (Python library) to generate the contracts.
[] To allow Consumer contract to be created only if Provider contract exists otherwise fail.
[] Consumer contract should always be the subset of the Provider contract.
[] As soon as there is change in APIs of provider, contract needs to be updated and updated contract needs to be checked that it is not breaking any Consumer contract.
