A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11947435B2) discloses a computer-implemented method for testing the functionality of a microservice-based computing platform. The method involves receiving a test configuration file from a test client by an injector microservice, determining test input and output communication mechanisms, generating a test identifier, transmitting the test input message to the first microservice, identifying the output message, recording it, and reporting the test output to the client. The method also includes scenarios where the test input communication mechanism is a data stream, and the test output communication mechanism is a second data stream with a correlation identification value.

Furthermore, the patent describes additional features such as setting limits associated with predetermined thresholds in the test configuration file, handling mock replies for destinations, and recording messages based on specific criteria. The method also involves interactions with multiple microservices within the computing platform, including receiving messages from a second microservice, transmitting response messages to destinations, and subscribing to data streams for message identification. The patent also covers an apparatus and a computer program product for implementing the testing method, providing a comprehensive solution for testing the functionality of microservice-based computing platforms efficiently and effectively.
