[DKG Engine and UIX - UI] Component Neighbor Integration tests

[RafyMehany]

Task

Specify and run neighbor integration tests for your deployed service/component, ensuring compatibility and smooth operation alongside neighboring services.
The goal is to make sure that your service is compatible with the services it interacts with.

1- Neighbor Service Testing Specification

Test Specification: Specify tests to verify the interaction and compatibility of your service with neighboring services.
To accomplish this task effectively, it's crucial to establish communication channels with your neighbors and gain insights into their service functionalities and dependencies.

2- Document Neighbor Service Tests

Update Documentation: Update your documentation to include neighbor service tests, facilitating reference for both yourself and your neighbors. Later, when automation is implemented, these tests will be documented to save time and ensure consistency.
Example: API calls or simulated interactions to ensure seamless integration with neighbor services.

3- Run neighbor Tests

Run your neighbor integration tests on the integration cluster to make sure that the service is working as expected and can integrate with the neighboring services.

Example:

• Specify the critical integration points that the neighbor tests will cover.
• Provide these neighbor tests, like API requests or simulated interactions with neighboring services.
• Provide the expected results for each test.
• Provide the steps to run the neighbor tests.
• Provide the steps to interpret the results.
• Update the documentation to include the neighbor tests with the results.

4- Integration with Deployment Workflow (Optional for Now):

Integration with Deployment Workflow: Integrate neighbor service testing into the deployment workflow to automate the process, ensuring continuous compatibility and smooth operation with neighboring services.
You can explore tools like Argo Rollouts for streamlined integration for more information check this docs.

Acceptance Criteria:

• Establish communication channels with neighbors for testing.
• Neighbor service tests are documented and cover critical integration points.
• Neighbor service tests are run on the integration cluster to ensure compatibility.
• Neighbor service testing is integrated into the deployment workflow (Optional for now).

Note:

• Ensure neighbor service tests provide insights into the compatibility and seamless operation of your service alongside neighboring services.
• Design neighbor service tests to run efficiently without significant impact on the deployment process.
• Regularly conduct neighbor service testing to maintain compatibility as the neighborhood ecosystem evolves
  especially when you have a new deployment or your neighbors have new deployments..
