## What is Error Guessing?
14
14
15
15
Error guessing is an intuitive and experience-based software testing technique that relies on developer and tester's knowledge and creativity to identify potential defects in a system. This method involves anticipating where errors are likely to occur based on past experiences, common programming mistakes, and an understanding of the system's architecture.

While error guessing is not systematic like other testing methods, it can be highly effective when combined with more structured approaches. It allows testers to explore edge cases and unusual scenarios that might be overlooked by conventional test cases. However, the success of error guessing largely depends on the tester's expertise and familiarity with the system. As such, it's often used as a complementary technique rather than a standalone method in comprehensive testing strategies.

Microservice testing is the process of validating individual components of a microservices architecture to ensure they function correctly both in isolation and as part of the larger system. Unlike monolithic applications, microservices present unique challenges in testing due to their distributed nature and complex interactions.
