Overview
What this challenge is about.
Inventory the 18 services and pick the 6 producer-consumer pairs with the most staging breakages in the last 90 days. Stand up a Pact broker (self-hosted or PactFlow trial). For each pair, write a consumer contract in the consumer's test suite and a provider verification in the producer's CI. Wire the broker so a contract change blocks the consumer's pull request until the producer verifies. Deliver the broker setup, the 6 contract test pairs as merged pull requests, and a 4-page playbook the rest of the org can use to migrate the remaining 12 services.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Replace the most brittle parts of a shared-staging integration test setup with consumer-driven contract tests across 6 service pairs.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Translate brittle integration tests into consumer-driven contracts
- Wire a Pact broker into a multi-team CI flow
- Decide what belongs in a contract test vs an E2E test vs a unit test
- Document a migration path other teams can self-serve
