How can I integrate contract testing in my CI/CD pipeline?

Integrating contract testing in your CI/CD pipeline involves several steps. First, you need to define your contracts clearly. Then, you can use tools like Pact or Spring Cloud Contract to implement the tests.

What tools do you recommend for contract testing?

I recommend using Pact for consumer-driven contract testing, as it's widely adopted and has great community support. Spring Cloud Contract is also a good choice if you're using Spring.

How do I set up Pact in my CI/CD?

To set up Pact, you need to add the Pact dependencies to your project, create your contract tests, and then configure your CI/CD tool to run these tests as part of the build process.

Can you give me an example of a contract test?

Sure! A simple contract test using Pact might involve defining a consumer that expects a specific JSON response from a provider. You would write a test that verifies this contract is upheld.
