10. What is a contract check? We use the same environment for contract checks and for end to end tests
11. Testing a service with an external dependency Put all the scripts inside the project instead of the pipeline
12. When do we use Test Doubles? Because we were using the cf-resource we were creating different manifests to point to the services on the different environments with different application names
13. What about the web?
14. Testing a service with an external dependency • What about testing rollbacks? Manual • What about static analysis? Not there, but I would add them as a separate step that does not affect the deployment (same for mutation testing) • What about external dependencies that are not owed by the team? We created a scheduler that checks them periodically. Helped us gaining sanity, specially with services that are flaky.
