<aside> 💡 Testing each service individually for contracts

</aside>

• Verifying (testing) integrations between consumer and provider by mocking each other, i.e., mocking the response of the provider when testing the consumer and similarly mocking the outgoing requests from the consumer.
• But changing the request or response schema makes the mocks of either of the services update in real-time, making their contract tests valid and reliable for every run.
• This service level isolation helps test every service without needing others up and running at the same time.

• If teams find it difficult to build tests that generate responses from a service with pre-defined inputs, there is a simple way to test services one at a time using HyperTest Record and Replay mode.

  

Record Mode

Replay Mode

<aside> 💡 HyperTest updates all mocks for the SUT regularly by monitoring the changing response of the down streams / dependent services
