Description: Interaction tests are an essential component in the realm of continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), as they evaluate how different components of a system interact with each other. These tests focus on verifying that individual modules or services work correctly when combined, ensuring that communication and collaboration between them occur smoothly. Unlike unit tests, which focus on individual components, interaction tests address the behavior of the system as a whole, allowing for the identification of issues that may arise during the integration of different parts. These tests are crucial for detecting errors that may not be evident in isolated tests, such as compatibility issues, configuration errors, or failures in communication between services. Additionally, they contribute to improving software quality by enabling development teams to detect and correct failures early in the development lifecycle, reducing the cost and time of correction. In a CI/CD environment, interaction tests are automatically executed as part of the integration process, ensuring that any changes in the code do not negatively impact the overall functionality of the system.
