Why Contract Testing Matters Lewis Prescott

It speeds up the development process and provides a faster feedback loop, since contract tests don't need to communicate to one or more systems. How it enables teams to deploy changes independently and safely. Makes integration issues easier to debug. It promotes better code quality through YAGNI. It facilitates better communication between teams.
