This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.Understand more

Development teams typically produce tests that specify and validate application behavior, but stop running them once the application goes into production. This is a missed opportunity. Semantic monitoring uses your tests to continuously evaluate your application, combining test-execution and realtime monitoring. With microservices, and similar fine-grained architectural approaches, it is increasingly important to test their interaction at run-time. Incorporating the validation of consumer-driven contracts into a monitoring facility is one way to approach this. While still evolving, we see great promise in the merging of two separate but important verification schemes.
