WE HELP YOU TEST DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS
Why Pact?
Pact is a consumer-driven contract testing framework.
Born out of a microservices boom, Pact was created to solve the problem of integration testing large, distributed systems.
What is the Pact Broker?
A key feature of contract testing is the creation of agreements - called pacts - describing the interactions that can take place between them.
The Pact Broker is the easiest way to collaborate and distribute these agreements (pacts) with your team.
Without a broker, you need to manage the contracts yourself including; API versioning, storage and sharing.
The Pact Broker is the recommended approach to sharing contracts, it allows you to:
- Decouple your release cycles and move faster
- Test development and production versions of dependencies (N+1)
- Visualise system relationships and architectures
- Save time and effort managing your own broker
- Generate up-to-date API documentation
