Query: Design, Monitoring, and Testing of Microservices Systems: The
  Practitioners' Perspective   Context: Microservices Architecture (MSA) has received significant attention
in the software industry. However, little empirical evidence exists on design,
monitoring, and testing of microservices systems. Objective: This research aims
to gain a deep understanding of how microservices systems are designed,
monitored, and tested in the industry. Method: A mixed-methods study was
conducted with 106 survey responses and 6 interviews from microservices
practitioners. Results: The main findings are: (1) a combination of
domain-driven design and business capability is the most used strategy to
decompose an application into microservices, (2) over half of the participants
used architecture evaluation and architecture implementation when designing
microservices systems, (3) API gateway and Backend for frontend patterns are
the most used MSA patterns, (4) resource usage and load balancing as monitoring
metrics, log management and exception tracking as monitoring practices are
widely used, (5) unit and end-to-end testing are the most used testing
strategies, and (6) the complexity of microservices systems poses challenges
for their design, monitoring, and testing, for which there are no dedicated
solutions. Conclusions: Our findings reveal that more research is needed to (1)
deal with microservices complexity at the design level, (2) handle security in
microservices systems, and (3) address the monitoring and testing challenges
through dedicated solutions.
