and an API consumer that asserts that the provider returns expected responses for a set of pre-defined requests by the consumer. The set of pre-defined requests and expected responses is called a contract.”

pacts. • An embedded API browser for navigating the API. • Displays provider verification results so you know if you can deploy safely. • Auto-generated documentation for each pact. • Provides a "matrix" of compatible consumer and provider versions, so you know which versions can be safely deployed together. • Dynamically generated network diagrams so you can visualise your microservice network. • Provides badges to display pact verification statuses in your READMEs. • Enables an application version to be tagged (ie. "prod", "feat/customer-preferences") to allow repository-like workflows. • Provides webhooks to trigger actions when pacts change eg. run provider build, notify a Slack channel. • View diffs between Pact versions so you can tell what expectations have changed. • Docker Pact Broker • A CLI for encorporating the Pact workflow into your continuous integration process. https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact_broker
a pact broker • Specification / standardization • 2 versions of the Specification ◦ 3.0 for JVM ◦ 2.0 for others • Api quality depends on the language • Where to store the Contracts ? (if no broker) • Yet another format (Not Open Api) • Start easily A CDC approach ◦ Only a few Jar to reference • Design First approach Wanted ? • Contract + Integration Tests ? https://github.com/agilepartner/pact-sandbox
project holding solutions that help users in successfully implementing the Consumer Driven Contracts approach. Currently Spring Cloud Contract consists of the Spring Cloud Contract Verifier project. Spring Cloud Contract Verifier is a tool that enables Consumer Driven Contract (CDC) development of JVM-based applications. It is shipped with Contract Definition Language (DSL) written in Groovy or YAML. Spring Cloud Contract Verifier moves TDD to the level of software architecture. Contract definitions are used to produce following resources: • by default JSON stub definitions to be used by WireMock (HTTP Server Stub) when doing integration testing on the client code (client tests). Test code must still be written by hand, test data is produced by Spring Cloud Contract Verifier. • Messaging routes if you’re using one. We’re integrating with Spring Integration, Spring Cloud Stream and Apache Camel. You can however set your own integrations if you want to. • Acceptance tests (by default in JUnit or Spock) used to verify if server-side implementation of the API is compliant with the contract (server tests). Full test is generated by Spring Cloud Contract Verifier.

Program, is a tool for designing APIs that follows the specification without requiring the developer(s) to be intimately familiar with it. It provides a GUI for defining all aspects of the API. Ultimately, Apicurio outputs both human and machine readable documentation which complies with the latest version of the OpenAPI specification. This walkthrough covers the process of designing an API with Apicurio from start to finish, and evaluates the possibility of using Apicurio in production. Features: • Support of OpenApi and Swagger • Project code generation (limited support to JAX-RS for the moment • Storage of contract on GIT • Microcks integration (mocking and integration testing tool)
rapidly deliver : • A comprehensible vision of their API, exposing sample requests and responses as well as base functional rules (cases when API responds A or B or raises exceptions) • A set of testing environments to allow API consumers or System Under Tests to use API even if implementation is not finished! • Contract testing plans of their API, allowing them to run, record and compare contract tests run against different environments.
