Http Testing

• External JSON file content
• Env Switching - CI,DIT,SIT etc
• Sending "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
• Http max implicit delay and connection timeout
• Retry mechanism

Kafka Testing

• Introduction
• Produce, consume proto message
• Produce raw message
• Consume raw message
• Produce JSON message
• Consume JSON message
• Produce and consume XML message
• Kafka - consume the latest message or n latest messages
• Produce avro message
• Consume avro message
• KSQL in action
• Produce multiple records
• Produce from file
• Produce to a partition
• Produce and consume records with headers
• Produce n assert partition ack
• Comsume and dump to file
• commitSync vs commitAsync
• Overriding config inside a test
• Chosing String or Int or Avro Serializer
• Chosing String or Int or Avro Deserializer
• Attaching timestamp during load
• Default timestamp provided by Kafka
• Consume and assert avro schema metadata
• Error handling - produce via avro schema
• Sorting Kafka records consumed

DB Testing

• Postgres db data validation

Kotlin Testing

• Testing Kotlin Application
• Kotlin Performance testing

Performance Testing - Load and Stress

• Performance Testing - via awesome JUnit runners
• Load Vs Stress generation on target application
• Run a single test or a scenario in parallel
• Run multiple test scenarios in parallel - Production load simulation
• Dynamically change the payload for every request
• Analytics - Useful report(s) or statistics

Parameterized Testing

• Value source - List of values
• CSV source - List of comma separated values

Docker

• Running Postgres DB in a container
• Picking host, port, user, password details
• Running DB executor and asserting SQL result sets

More+

• Reusing step via step file(s)

Extensions
