On Persistent Implications of E2E Testing

An emerging paradigm of reactive systems architecture comes with important implications on software testing. Despite community interests in running effective end-to-end (E2E) tests on reactive systems, little work has considered the implications of tests that modify the database. We propose a framework to the group and orchestrate E2E tests based on data qualities across a series of parallel containerized application instances. The framework is designed to run completely independent tests in parallel while being mindful of resource costs. We present a conceptual version of the framework and discuss database implications for this type of software testing.
