Define a pact between service consumers and providers, enabling "consumer-driven contract" testing.
Pact provides an RSpec DSL for service consumers to define the HTTP requests they will make to a service provider and the HTTP responses they expect back. These expectations are used in the consumers' specs to provide a mock service provider. The interactions are recorded and played back in the service provider specs to ensure the service provider actually does provide the response the consumer expects.
This allows testing of both sides of an integration point using fast unit tests.
