Pact is a contract testing tool used to ensure that services (such as microservices) can communicate with each other correctly. It allows developers to define a contract for the interactions between service providers and consumers, ensuring compatibility and preventing integration issues by validating these contracts during testing.
About Pact
Pact was created in 2013 to address the challenges of ensuring compatibility between microservices. It emerged from the need to automate and streamline the process of contract testing, allowing developers to define and validate interaction contracts between service providers and consumers, reducing integration issues and improving reliability.
Strengths of Pact include its ability to automate contract testing, improve reliability between services, and prevent integration issues. Weaknesses involve the complexity of setup and maintenance, particularly in large systems. Competitors include tools such as Postman, WireMock, and Hoverfly.
