Microservice test automation: how to optimize test coverage

For a QA team member, it is always challenging to optimize test automation. It is always a struggle between how much is too much and how little is too little. QA teams who do not have test automation yet, shy away from building test automation culture in their teams. People always complain about test automation maintenance, problems with test data and what not.

In this presentation, Indranil Sinha will talk about how this inertia led him to start designing microservice test automation for his company which had already 30 microservices by 2018. Thanks to that, in the following years, they would achieve 75% global test automation coverage and between 50 – 100% individual test automation coverage at the microservice level. However, by 2020, they had realized about the increasing difficulty to calculate test automation coverage with the growing number of microservices. It was in this moment that Indranil Sinha developed the Test Autobahn solution, which he has been sharing in many conferences since he presented his work for the first time at HUSTEF 2021.
