One of our design partners told us he’d love Skyramp to create “out of the blue” performance tests for whatever groups of microservices defined his application.
By “out of the blue” he meant this: he wanted to point Skyramp to any collection of his microservices — ready for API testing of endpoints (REST, gRPC, Thrift etc.) — and designed for any environment (private Kubernetes clusters, AWS, Azure, or GCP), and have Skyramp magically offer useful, configurable integration and performance tests including mock testing as needed. Optimized for the logic or intended production environment to deliver really useful results specific to those conditions. An essential CI tool democratizing shift left software test automation for CI CD tool users of varying skill levels.
These tests would visualize the inputs and outputs in a WYSIWYG UI so developers without testing expertise could understand what they’re testing. Low code or no code. And they’d allow those with more expertise and time to dig deeper into detailed software test mechanics. Then you’d share and tweak them to suit your very specific needs. Collaborative cloud native testing, done right.
Sounds like “out of the blue” and “generative AI” might have a lot in common? Maybe “out of the blue” is exactly what microservices testing needs to empower developers and QA :)
