Executable Agreements: Code, Collaborate and Deploy with Confidence

In a world of distributed systems, microservices, and fast-paced deployments, integration failures are still a leading cause of production issues. End-to-end tests are often too slow, flaky, and expensive to be your safety net.

This presentation introduces contract testing with Pact as a practical, scalable alternative that lets teams define and verify API expectations early, independently, and reliably. The video walks you through the concept of executable agreements—living contracts between services that are validated automatically in CI, catching mismatches before they reach production. You will see how contract testing fits into modern development workflows, how it complements unit and integration tests, and why it fosters better collaboration between teams.
