Integration testing ensures that different modules or services within your application interact seamlessly.
This involves validating the interfaces and data flows between components to detect and resolve issues early in the development cycle.
By simulating real-world interactions, we identify and fix integration issues that could impact the overall system functionality. Our approach includes designing comprehensive test scenarios that cover all interaction points, ensuring data integrity and system coherence. This testing is critical for applications with multiple interconnected modules, guaranteeing they work together as a cohesive unit, reducing risks of post-deployment failures and enhancing overall system reliability.
