What are some best practices for integration testing of AWS Lambda functions?
- Limiting testing to unit tests
- Manually testing each function
- Skipping testing altogether
- Using a staging environment
Using a staging environment similar to production can help mimic real-world scenarios and validate the integration of AWS Lambda functions with other services.
How can you automate testing and deployment of AWS Lambda functions?
- Email notifications
- Manual deployment
- Using CI/CD pipelines
- Using physical servers
Implementing continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines allows you to automate testing and deployment processes for AWS Lambda functions, ensuring faster and more reliable releases.
Which AWS service can help you monitor the performance of Lambda functions during testing?
- AWS CloudWatch
- AWS EC2
- AWS RDS
- AWS S3
AWS CloudWatch provides monitoring and observability services, including metrics, logs, and alarms, allowing you to monitor the performance of Lambda functions during testing and in production environments.
During testing, you can use AWS Lambda __________ to simulate events such as S3 uploads or API Gateway requests.
- Content Delivery Networks (CDNs)
- Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles
- Load balancers
- Local testing framework
A local testing framework allows you to simulate events locally, such as S3 uploads or API Gateway requests, for testing AWS Lambda functions before deployment.
__________ testing verifies the integration between different components of a serverless application, including AWS Lambda functions.
- End-to-end
- Integration
- Performance
- Unit
Integration testing verifies the integration between different components of a serverless application, including AWS Lambda functions, to ensure they work together as expected.
AWS Lambda functions can include __________ dependencies that are required for their execution.
- build-time
- compile-time
- design-time
- runtime
Runtime dependencies are libraries or packages required for the execution of AWS Lambda functions, such as Python libraries or Node.js modules.
__________ is a technique used to package only necessary dependencies to minimize the size of deployment packages in AWS Lambda.
- Containerization
- Dependency management
- Dynamic linking
- Tree shaking
Tree shaking is a technique used to package only necessary dependencies to minimize the size of deployment packages in AWS Lambda.
It's important to perform __________ testing to ensure AWS Lambda functions interact correctly with other AWS services.
- Acceptance
- Integration
- Regression
- Unit
Integration testing verifies that AWS Lambda functions interact correctly with other AWS services, ensuring seamless integration and functionality.
Scenario: You are testing an AWS Lambda function that processes data from Amazon S3. How would you simulate different S3 event triggers to ensure the function behaves correctly?
- Configure S3 event notifications
- Use AWS CloudWatch Events
- Use the AWS Management Console
- Utilize AWS SDKs
Using the AWS Management Console allows you to manually trigger AWS Lambda functions and simulate different S3 event triggers for testing purposes.
What role does AWS CodePipeline play in the testing process of AWS Lambda functions?
- Facilitates automated testing
- Manages server infrastructure
- Monitors performance
- Provides version control
AWS CodePipeline can be configured to automate the testing process for AWS Lambda functions, including running unit tests, integration tests, and other types of tests as part of the deployment pipeline.
