Microservices and API testing framework

Say goodbye to end-to-end testing

Testing microservices shouldn't involve setting up complex end-to-end test environments, creating lengthy integration suites and managing test data. Stop wasting time, and start releasing.

Find bugs in dev

Prevent integration issues before you commit, instead of in production or during integration test

Deploy faster, safer & more often

Pact provides a guarantee that systems are compatible, so you can deploy your microservices and web apps independently and safely

Remove complex end-to-end environments

Reduce (or removing entirely) the need for complex, costly and hard-to-manage integration test environments

Stop relying on unreliable test data

Finding and managing test data is a key pain point for engineering teams - with Pact, you can significantly reduce your reliance on flakey test data

Say goodbye to painful release processes

With Pact and the Pact Broker, you can orchestrate complex CI and CD pipelines and use can-i-deploy to tell you when a component is safe to release

Collaborate with the Pact Broker

Integrate into your CI/CD pipelines, manage and promote contracts with the Pact Broker

Work offline with API stubs

Pact's API stubs are guaranteed to represent behaviour of the real system, so you can test with confidence

Create bulletproof pipelines

Developers love Pact

Here's what engineers have to say about the problems you can solve using contract-testing and Pact

“Using Pact we have eliminated the need for tightly coupled integration test environments in favour of isolated micro-services that can be tested and deployed independently”

Daniel Oades

Principal Developer In Test, ITV

“It has given our team the confidence to remove the E2E tests we previously had ... we no longer have to rely on other services being available for our pipeline to remain green”

Jemma Wells

Product Engineer at John Lewis & Partners, specialising in Quality Assurance

“Utilizing CDCs has alleviated our problem of API specification drift”

Tanya Heuiser

Lead Software Engineer with Mastercard Loyalty Solutions

“CDC helped us massively in testing service interactions across 100+ microservices, without relying on heavy (and sometimes brittle) full end-to-end environments”

Pierre Vincent

Lead Software Engineer with Mastercard Loyalty Solutions

“Using contract testing has allowed us to ... be in a position to replace expensive end-to-end testing with pact testing”

Oswald Quek

GDS Developer

“They received immediate feedback in their tests when a breaking change was about to be made to the API implementation by validating against our API spec”

James Navin

Principal Developer, Atlassian

“they asked me to post a feature request on their Github issues. And they actually got around to it! I was very happy with the type of open communication their developers have”
