Course Description
" Contract Testing " is one of the most buzzing word in the Software Industry especially in the projects which relies heavily on Microservices Architecture.
Contract testing is the Modern way of testing communication/Contract between two any Systems (Such as Microservice, Angular NodeJS, Java Apps). In Agile world, Contract Testing is heavily used in the bottom of the Test Pyramid to identify the bugs in early development cycle.
***For More details, Please watch Preview lectures of this course to get detail understanding of how and Why Contract Testing****
In this course, We shall be using Pact Contract testing tool (Java Library) to test the inter communication contract between Microservices
What this Course offers?
This course helps you to understand all the concepts revolving around Contract testing first to make you realize the importance of having these tests in the Projects

The first two lectures clearly show how great the instructor is. The content is interesting, engaging, and motivating. Thank you, Rahul—your teaching style brings confidence and a smile to my face.

Learnt exactly what I wanted to learn. Very crisp, learnt everything in least amount of time.

Good overall presentation. Improvement: A bit of document representation of the code to show how the dependencies are there between provider and consumer might have made the concepts more clear.
By Kapil Jhajhria on 3/29/2022
Good Course not that old as well. There are minor things that you will have to figure out since some things have changed. But those are not that time-consuming. The ending wasn't that good. Verification result were not published on pack broker. Which would have made course better. Concepts of contract testing are very well explained, and I don't think you would need any other course to understand the flow or principles of contract testing.
By Anirban Majumdar on 3/12/2022
This is an excellent course by Rahul Shetty, which teaches very nicely what is contract testing, its importance, and how to test it using PACT. Thank you for this course. This has a comparatively more technical concept for QA/SDET than other Automation Testing courses, basic knowledge of SpringBoot is handy, and I would suggest going through with the official documentation from PACT along with the course.
By James Ravi Ramroop on 2/23/2022
The author goes into details to explain the concepts with practical examples. I went from knowing not much about PACT Contract testing to implementing contract testing in my own project successfully.
By Anonymized User on 2/18/2022
Wonderful, if a small video on CI integration & open source pact broker could be added , it would have made it even better. Non the less a great course.
By Arun Joseph on 1/27/2022
This is a great and probably the only course i could find on PACT. I appreciate the details in the course but would also was looking forward to a section where we setup the open source pact broker. It would have been a nice addition to this course. Other than that it pretty much covers everything.

Thank you Rahul for this course released on time, Really very good and simple explanation as always !!!
By Murtaza Rashmy on 12/7/2021
It's a really good introductory course with some practical working scenarios. I believe it can help anyone who is interested in microservices contract testing. Great explanation of Pact. I started with zero knowledge of contract testing but Rahul Shetty made all the concepts very clear. Thanks a lot. It was a good experience to learn new things from this course.
