“…Microservices are often coupled with containers, 13 which offer a standard way to create lightweight executable packages that include everything necessary to run services. In fact, each microservice is normally deployed into a different container, and applications composed of multiple services run over a set of interacting containers.…”

Microservice‐based applications consist of multiple services that can evolve independently. When a service must be updated, it is first tested with in‐house regression test suites. However, the test suites that are executed are usually designed without the exact knowledge about how the services will be accessed and used in the field; therefore, they may easily miss relevant test scenarios, failing to prevent the deployment of faulty services. To address this problem, we introduce ExVivoMicroTest, an approach that analyzes the execution of deployed services at run‐time in the field, in order to generate test cases for future versions of the same services. ExVivoMicroTest implements lightweight monitoring and tracing capabilities, to inexpensively record executions that can be later turned into regression test cases that capture how services are used in the field. To prevent accumulating an excessive number of test cases, ExVivoMicroTest uses a test coverage model that can discriminate the recorded executions between the ones that are worth to be turned into test cases and the ones that should be discarded. The resulting test cases use a mocked environment that fully isolates the service under test from the rest of the system to faithfully reply interactions. We assessed ExVivoMicroTest with the PiggyMetrics and Train Ticket open source microservice applications and studied how different configurations of the monitoring and tracing logic impact on the capability to generate test cases.

“…The State Public Health Bioinformatics (StaPH-B) docker-builds project was created by a community of public health bioinformaticians to containerize software for public health applications. As of February 2023, StaPH-B hosts 142 containerized images of microbial genomics software -some of which have over 1 million downloads [8][9][10]. The use of workflow management systems has enabled the standardization of modular analytical 'workflows' by specifying and executing the flow of data through a series of processes using software containers in a stepwise manner [11,12].…”

We have adopted an open bioinformatics ecosystem to address the challenges of bioinformatics implementation in public health laboratories (PHLs). Bioinformatics implementation for public health requires practitioners to undertake standardized bioinformatic analyses and generate reproducible, validated and auditable results. It is essential that data storage and analysis are scalable, portable and secure, and that implementation of bioinformatics fits within the operational constraints of the laboratory. We address these requirements using Terra, a web-based data analysis platform with a graphical user interface connecting users to bioinformatics analyses without the use of code. We have developed bioinformatics workflows for use with Terra that specifically meet the needs of public health practitioners. These Theiagen workflows perform genome assembly, quality control, and characterization, as well as construction of phylogeny for insights into genomic epidemiology. Additonally, these workflows use open-source containerized software and the WDL workflow language to ensure standardization and interoperability with other bioinformatics solutions, whilst being adaptable by the user. They are all open source and publicly available in Dockstore with the version-controlled code available in public GitHub repositories. They have been written to generate outputs in standardized file formats to allow for further downstream analysis and visualization with separate genomic epidemiology software. Testament to this solution meeting the requirements for bioinformatic implementation in public health, Theiagen workflows have collectively been used for over 5 million sample analyses in the last 2 years by over 90 public health laboratories in at least 40 different countries. Continued adoption of technological innovations and development of further workflows will ensure that this ecosystem continues to benefit PHLs.

“…The Service in Kubernetes, which connects client Pods and an internal DNS, serves as the registry. For deployment using only Docker [167] containers, EasyFL uses etcd 4 as registry because it is a reliable and consistent key-value store for distributed systems. It provides docker image for docker-gen 5 , which serves as registor to get the container metadata including IP addresses.…”

“…EasyFL containerizes using Docker [167], which is the standard industrial containerization tool, to easily adapt to complex software dependencies in diverse computing environments of edge devices. On the one hand, containerization enables the simulation of networking conditions for system heterogeneity with simple configurations when starting the containers.…”
