Service Testing

The OpenTelemetry Demo uses traced-based testing to validate the functionality of the services and the traces they generate.

The trace-based tests will each service and validate the traces they generate and stored in Jaeger, to a known working trace for the same operation.

Testing services with Trace-based tests

To run the entire test suite of trace-based tests, run the command:

make run-tracetesting
#or
docker compose run traceBasedTests

To run tests for specific services, pass the name of the service as a parameter (using the folder names located here):

make run-tracetesting SERVICES_TO_TEST="service-1 service-2 ..."
#or
docker compose run traceBasedTests "service-1 service-2 ..."

For instance, if you need to run the tests for ad-service and payment-service, you can run them with:

make run-tracetesting SERVICES_TO_TEST="ad-service payment-service"
