How to Ensure Testing Robustness in Microservice Architectures and Cope with Test Smells

Abstract

This paper presents the most common test smells and prevention methods against them in test automation frameworks which are used to test microservice architectures. In this scope; the necessity for test automation is discussed, and the most probable test smells in a test automation framework are listed. Finally, applied solutions to handle them are told and advantages are analyzed by investigating the results.
