I think it depends on the testing level you want to implement, and also on the business logic:

  • For unit-testing (let's say the microservice A), you can just mock the response from the dependent microservices.
  • For integration/acceptance testing, you can just create an in-memory version of dependent microservices, or even container-based, sandboxed environment with them, and run it in the CI/CD workflow
  • For end-to-end testing, you can just add test data (depends on business logic) in production and create (or use an existing) test runner that runs different scenarios.
