quick question about monolith contract testing pipeline strategies:
so we have monolith app (provider) with multiple consumers, what is the best strategy for blocking release(we do continues delivery) from provider? monolith(provider) got lots of responsibilities and all of subsystems are dependent on monolith, so when 1 consumer contract fail, should we block entire monolith release? until fix the contract? I know it is sounds same as monolith / micro services release issues, but I am looking for some similar real example for specifically contract testing, thanks

06/22/2022, 1:28 AMThe perspective should probably be that Pact (or any kind of testing) is just highlighting existing problems that weren't being caught before. Dealing with those problems isn't the job of the testing tools, it's more based around culture, practices, discipline, communication, etc 😇
