Integration Testing
Integration testing verifies that multiple components work together correctly. It sits between unit and end-to-end tests, catching issues in interfaces, serialization, and configuration that unit tests miss.
The resources below cover test databases, testcontainers, service integration, contract testing, and CI strategies. Each guide explains how to build integration tests that are stable enough to trust but focused enough to run frequently.
Every resource includes clear explanations, copy-paste code, and practical warnings. Use them to make informed decisions, avoid production pitfalls, and speed up your delivery. If you are just getting started, read the beginner-friendly articles first; if you are experienced, jump straight to the advanced patterns and architecture guides. New resources are added regularly, so bookmark this page and check back for the latest patterns.
