Method for testing a microservice application with at least one microservice (209, 211, 213) with at least one application programming interface, comprising: reading characteristic data of the application programming interface of the microservice (209, 211, 213) of the microservice application and ascertaining at least one endpoint of the application programming interface, wherein queryable response data of the microservice (209, 211, 213) are defined by way of the endpoint; ascertaining a plurality of parameters of the application programming interface on the basis of the characteristic data of the application programming interface; automatically generating an execution script on the basis of the characteristic data of the application programming interface, wherein the execution script defines at least one data query for invoking the ascertained endpoint and for querying queryable response data and at least one transfer characteristic of the data transfer of the response data, wherein the transfer characteristic facilitates an assessment of the provision of the response data from the microservice (209, 211, 213) as a response to a corresponding data query, wherein the automatic generation of the execution script comprises a definition of a plurality of data queries for the plurality of parameters and/or for variations of values of the parameters of the application programming interface; automatically generating a test infrastructure, wherein the test infrastructure comprises at least one client entity, and wherein the client entity is set up to execute the data query of the execution script and receive corresponding response data from the microservice (209, 211, 213); executing the execution script and transmitting the plurality of data queries of the execution script by the client entity to the application programming interface of the microservice (209, 211, 213) and receiving corresponding response data of the microservice (209, 211, 213) by the client entity; and ascertaining the transfer characteristic by the client entity. reading characteristic data of the application programming interface of the microservice (209, 211, 213) of the microservice application and ascertaining at least one endpoint of the application programming interface, wherein queryable response data of the microservice (209, 211, 213) are defined by way of the endpoint; ascertaining a plurality of parameters of the application programming interface on the basis of the characteristic data of the application programming interface; automatically generating an execution script on the basis of the characteristic data of the application programming interface, wherein the execution script defines at least one data query for invoking the ascertained endpoint and for querying queryable response data and at least one transfer characteristic of the data transfer of the response data, wherein the transfer characteristic facilitates an assessment of the provision of the response data from the microservice (209, 211, 213) as a response to a corresponding data query, wherein the automatic generation of the execution script comprises a definition of a plurality of data queries for the plurality of parameters and/or for variations of values of the parameters of the application programming interface; automatically generating a test infrastructure, wherein the test infrastructure comprises at least one client entity, and wherein the client entity is set up to execute the data query of the execution script and receive corresponding response data from the microservice (209, 211, 213); executing the execution script and transmitting the plurality of data queries of the execution script by the client entity to the application programming interface of the microservice (209, 211, 213) and receiving corresponding response data of the microservice (209, 211, 213) by the client entity; and ascertaining the transfer characteristic by the client entity.
