An Introduction to Pact: Consumer-Driven Contract Testing (PHP)
Welcome to the first episode in our new series on API and microservice testing! As your Engineering Coach, I'll introduce you to Pact, a powerful framework for consumer-driven contract testing.
In this video, we'll get hands-on with Pact to test-drive the implementation of an HTTP consumer in PHP. This approach ensures that your client code and the API it relies on are always in sync, preventing breaking changes before they even reach production.
You'll see exactly how Pact works and why it's a vital tool for building robust, distributed systems. This video is the perfect starting point for any developer who wants to work with microservices more confidently.
