Provided is a method for testing a microservice application with at least one microservice with at least one application programming interface, including: reading characteristic data of the application programming interface of the microservice of the microservice application and ascertaining at least one endpoint of the application programming interface; automatically generating an execution script on the basis of the characteristic data of the application programming interface; automatically generating a test infrastructure, wherein the test infrastructure includes at least one client entity; executing the execution script and transmitting the data query of the execution script by the client entity to the application programming interface of the microservice and receiving corresponding response data of the microservice by the client entity; and ascertaining the transfer characteristic by the client entity.

Method for testing a microservice application

A method is disclosed for the computer-aided determination of the optimization potential of a software system including a plurality of modules that can interact with each other at least to some point during execution of the software system. At least one module to be examined is selected from the plurality of modules, in at least one embodiment, and is examined with respect to the effects of an optimization of the at least one module to be examined on the overall consumption of resources of the software system. A respective consumption of resources of one or more modules not to be examined of the plurality of modules is varied according to at least one predetermined criterion, thereby obtaining a modified software system. The overall consumption of resources of the modified software system is determined taking into consideration the variation of the modules not to be examined. The determined overall consumption of resources of the modified software system is then compared to the overall consumption of resources of the unmodified software system.
