Contract Testing For Micro Services

Well Katalon is actually a great tool for almost all platforms and I love to use it at many levels (Web, Mobile, Api Integration).

What I actually missing is Contract Testing for Micro Service that allow users to do consumer Driven Testing for each micro services. I really feel Katalon can add this feature as they already achieve Services testing. Almost every company now moving towards Micro services and Contract testing is 1 of the best Solution to test any micro service in isolated environment.

We really appreciate if Katalon Team start doing something on Consumer Driven Testing and Add in future Road map.

@Russ_Thomas Please add your thoughts and suggestion.

Thanks

Are you considering something like this? (see under the heading Build With Your IDE)

Perhaps one of these guys could take a look @Andrej_Podhajsky, @anon46315158, @Brandon_Hein, @kazurayam

@Russ_Thomas i will try to digest this … but at first look, in my eyes looks more like a feature to be offered by the platform (e.g. testops) and not a feature for the tool.
We have to distinguish between such. Every platfom, in the end, is just a bunch of scripts around various toys, offered throuh an ‘click an go’ interface.
And when somebody will provide a clear definition between microservice and monolith, i will bring more info.
For the moment let us make the difference between a tool and the service.

Well to test single micro services in isolation and more services behavior with each other Contract testing is a technique every company considering right now
