Why we have a separate test suite for external services


Listen Later

Writing tests that communicate with a third party can be a little tricky, but we've found an approach that balances speed and confidence.

In today's episode, we share that approach and talk through a strategy of how frequently to run tests that talk to the outside world.

  • (00:00) - Why would your tests ever talk to an external service?
  • (02:30) - What does it mean to have a separate test suite?
  • (06:00) - Keeping them separate allows different triggers for running
  • (07:00) - When should you run external tests?
  • (08:30) - You can't always know when you'll break an external integration
  • (11:00) - Check on a schedule?
  • (13:00) - Silly bit
