Abstract

Skyramp reduces or eliminates challenges encountered in testing of cloud native applications by providing an interactive testing product by which users can probe a set of microservices in insolation by mocking dependencies. Skyramp is configured for local integration, performance, and load testing, and works with any language. Skyramp reduces the burden of testing by making it easy to deploy (locally or remotely) any subset of the application or target by automatically mocking in the cluster the necessary dependencies, enabling interaction with targets by triggering any endpoints needed during the testing, and storing functional and performance tests for quick future access/use.

Claims63

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method for testing an application, the method comprising:

deploying within a cluster at least one microservice of the application;
generating and executing in response to the deploying a test to test operation of the at least one microservice;
receiving by a device intermediary to the at least one microservice API service-level data from the at least one microservice and dynamically generating from the API service-level data a mock description;
generating at the device a mock is to use the mock description to mimic in the cluster endpoints of the at least one microservice when the test is executing, wherein the endpoints include endpoints of a dependent microservice;
and
providing status and results of the test when executed on the at least one microservice.
