Unit and integration testing play a crucial role in ensuring software quality, balancing the need for rapid software deployment with the necessity of correctness. In a CI/CD pipeline, unit tests are straightforward to implement with just the source code and appropriate tools, while integration tests require more complex setups involving additional services. Codefresh has simplified integration testing by introducing Service Containers, which enable easier orchestration of service dependencies and execution order, similar to Docker Compose. This feature allows for automatic service readiness checks and initialization tasks, such as preloading test data into databases, thus ensuring that all services are available and correctly configured before tests begin. Although resource-intensive, the setup of these service containers can be managed efficiently by only launching them when needed or sharing them across the entire pipeline. This capability is available to all Codefresh accounts, encouraging users to build robust CI/CD pipelines tailored to microservices architectures.
