Spring Cloud Contract

Consumer-driven contract testing for JVM applications

About Spring Cloud Contract

A project that implements consumer-driven contracts for JVM-based applications, generating tests and stubs from contracts so Spring services can evolve APIs without breaking consumers. Because the code is openly available, it can be audited, extended and run on private infrastructure, which makes it attractive to teams with privacy or compliance needs. It is commonly adopted through containers or packages, evaluated against commercial alternatives and kept because it solves a focused problem reliably at scale.
