  Testing microservice systems involves a large amount of planning and
problem-solving. The difficulty of testing microservice systems increases as
the size and structure of such systems become more complex. To help the
microservice community and simplify experiments with testing and traffic
simulation, we created a test benchmark containing full functional testing
coverage for two well-established open-source microservice systems. Through our
benchmark design, we aimed to demonstrate ways to overcome certain challenges
and find effective strategies when testing microservices. In addition, to
demonstrate our benchmark use, we conducted a case study to identify the best
approaches to take to validate a full coverage of tests using
service-dependency graph discovery and business process discovery using
tracing.
