Microservices - Testing Microservices

AIt automatically generates API documentation for all microservices

BIt enables independent verification of service interactions without requiring full end-to-end tests

CIt replaces the need for unit testing within each microservice

DIt enforces synchronous communication between microservices

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand Pact's role
Pact focuses on contract testing, which verifies interactions between services independently.
Step 2: Compare with other testing types
Unlike end-to-end tests, Pact allows testing consumer-provider contracts without full system deployment.
Final Answer:
It enables independent verification of service interactions without requiring full end-to-end tests -> Option B
Quick Check:
Independent interaction verification [OK]

Quick Trick: Pact tests contracts, not full system flows [OK]
