Architecture Day 38: Testing in Architecture, from Unit Tests to End-to-End System Validation


Listen Later

Welcome to Day 38 of the "50 Days Software Architecture Class"! Moderated by Anastasia and Irene, today we explore Testing in Architecture — moving from simple unit tests all the way to comprehensive end-to-end system validation. This 18–22 minute lesson (~1950–2100 words at 60 words per minute) features much longer, in-depth explanations, real-world testing strategies, pyramid vs. honeycomb vs. trophy models, contract testing, chaos engineering, and how testing strategy must align with your architectural decisions.

We’ve structured it into 20 main slides (each with 4 bullet points + extended Anastasia & Irene dialogues for depth and balance). Anastasia leads slides 1–5 & 11–15 (foundations, test pyramid, and integration), Irene leads slides 6–10 & 16–18 (advanced testing, tools, and governance), and slides 19–20 are shared. This builds directly on Day 37’s legacy modernization (testing is your safety net during migration), Day 36’s ADRs (document testing decisions), Day 28’s resilience patterns, and Day 20’s cloud-native architecture. Expect clear diagrams of the test pyramid, contract testing flows, and practical homework.
