The changing and developing business needs of the IT industry require that technologies adopt and adjust themselves to meet their demands and, at the same time, allow advancement of new techniques and fundamental methods of architecture in software design. The result of such activity is a transition from monolith to microservices and building a definitely new architecture. Today microservice architecture is widely implemented in various areas of software development. However, the changes in the testing process often lack the attention they deserve. Microservice Testing is a new idea which changed the testing approaches and prioritization of testing levels. Moreover, it changed the working culture and the way teams work together. The paper illustrates effective methods that can be applied to overcome challenges while testing applications designed with microservices architecture, as well as the main opportunities that arise when testing microservices.
