Detecting a potential security leak by a microservice

A non-transitory machine readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource of a computer system, the non-transitory machine readable medium comprising instructions to:

• prior to deployment of a microservice within a production environment, generate a test suite for the microservice based at least in part on a specification of an application programming interface (API) of the microservice defining a plurality of operations supported by the API and information regarding parameters of each of the plurality of operations;
• subject the microservice to the test suite;
• and
• detect a potential security leak by the microservice by analyzing a dataset to which the microservice outputs information, including applying a plurality of security rules to the dataset.

A system comprising:

• a processing resource;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium, coupled to the processing resource, having stored therein instructions that when executed by the processing resource cause the processing resource to:
• prior to deployment of a microservice within a production environment, generate a test suite for the microservice based at least in part on a specification of an application programming interface (API) of the microservice defining a plurality of operations supported by the API and information regarding parameters of each of the plurality of operations;
• subject the microservice to the test suite;
• and
• detect a potential security leak by the microservice by analyzing a dataset to which the microservice outputs information, including applying a plurality of security rules to the dataset.
