In this chapter, you learned how to test and document microservices. It is usually the forgotten activity in software development, due to the pressures to deliver new functionalities, but in my opinion, it is a risky decision. We have to find the balance between too much and very little testing. In general, we will always try to find the right proportion for unit, integration and end-to-end tests.

You also learned about manual testing and the tools to efficiently test our software manually (there is always a component of manual testing).

Another interesting point is the documentation and API management. In this case, we got to know Swagger, which is probably the most popular API manager that led to the creation of the Open API standard.

If you want to go deeper in to the API world (there is a lot to learn in order to build a practical and efficient API), you should probably browse http://apigee.com. Apigee are a company expert on building APIs and providing tools for developers and enterprises that could help you to build a better API.
