This workshop is setup with a number of steps that can be run through. Each step is in a branch, so to run through a
step of the workshop just check out the branch for that step (i.e. git checkout step1).
This project has 3 components, a consumer project and two service providers, one Dropwizard and one Springboot service that the consumer will interaction with.
Given we have a client that needs to make a HTTP GET request to a provider service, and requires a response in JSON format.
The client is quite simple and looks like this
consumer/src/main/java/au/com/dius/pactworkshop/consumer/Client.java:
public class Client {
public Object loadProviderJson() throws UnirestException {
return Unirest.get("http://localhost:8080/provider.json")
.queryString("validDate", LocalDateTime.now().toString())
.asJson().getBody();
}
}and the dropwizard provider resource
providers/dropwizard-provider/src/main/java/au/com/dius/pactworkshop/dropwizardprovider/RootResource.java:
@Path("/provider.json")
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public class RootResource {
@GET
public Map<String, Object> providerJson(@QueryParam("validDate") Optional<String> validDate) {
LocalDateTime valid_time = LocalDateTime.parse(validDate.get());
Map<String, Object> result = new HashMap<>();
result.put("test", "NO");
result.put("validDate", LocalDateTime.now().toString());
result.put("count", 1000);
return result;
}
}The springboot provider controller is similar
providers/springboot-provider/src/main/java/au/com/dius/pactworkshop/springbootprovider/RootController.java:
@RestController
public class RootController {
@RequestMapping("/provider.json")
public Map<String, Serializable> providerJson(@RequestParam(required = false) String validDate) {
LocalDateTime validTime = LocalDateTime.parse(validDate);
Map<String, Serializable> map = new HashMap<>(3);
map.put("test", "NO");
map.put("validDate", LocalDateTime.now().toString());
map.put("count", 1000);
return map;
}
}This providers expects a validDate parameter in HTTP date format, and then return some simple json back.
Running the client with either provider works nicely. For example, start the dropwizard-provider in one terminal:
$ ./gradlew :providers:dropwizard-provider:runOnce the provider has successfully initialized, open another terminal session and run the consumer:
$ ./gradlew :consumer:run
> Task :consumer:run
{"test":"NO","validDate":"2018-04-10T10:59:41.122","count":1000}
BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 1s
2 actionable tasks: 2 executed
Don't forget to stop the dropwizard-provider that is running in the first terminal when you have finished this step.
Now lets get the client to use the data it gets back from the provider. Here is the updated client method that uses the returned data:
consumer/src/main/java/au/com/dius/pactworkshop/consumer/Client.java:
public List<Object> fetchAndProcessData() throws UnirestException {
JsonNode data = loadProviderJson();
System.out.println("data=" + data);
JSONObject jsonObject = data.getObject();
int value = 100 / jsonObject.getInt("count");
ZonedDateTime date = ZonedDateTime.parse(jsonObject.getString("date"));
System.out.println("value=" + value);
System.out.println("date=" + date);
return Arrays.asList(value, date);
}
Let's now test our updated client. We're using Wiremock here to mock out the provider.
consumer/src/test/java/au/com/dius/pactworkshop/consumer/ClientTest.java:
public class ClientTest {
@Rule
public WireMockRule wireMockRule = new WireMockRule(8080);
@Test
public void canProcessTheJsonPayloadFromTheProvider() throws UnirestException {
String date = "2013-08-16T15:31:20+10:00";
stubFor(get(urlPathEqualTo("/provider.json"))
.withQueryParam("validDate", matching(".+"))
.willReturn(aResponse()
.withStatus(200)
.withHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")
.withBody("{\"test\": \"NO\", \"date\": \"" + date + "\", \"count\": 100}")));
List<Object> data = new Client().fetchAndProcessData();
assertThat(data, hasSize(2));
assertThat(data.get(0), is(1));
assertThat(data.get(1), is(ZonedDateTime.parse(date)));
}
}
Let's run this spec and see it all pass:
$ ./gradlew :consumer:check
BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 0s
3 actionable tasks: 3 up-to-dateHowever, there is a problem with this integration point. Running the actual client against any of the providers results in a runtime exception!
$ ./gradlew :consumer:run

2 actionable tasks: 1 executed, 1 up-to-dateThe provider returns a validDate while the consumer is trying to use date, which will blow up when run for
real even with the tests all passing. Here is where Pact comes in.
Let us add Pact to the project and write a consumer pact test.
consumer/src/test/java/au/com/dius/pactworkshop/consumer/ClientPactTest.java
public class ClientPactTest {
// This sets up a mock server that pretends to be our provider
@Rule
public PactProviderRule provider = new PactProviderRule("Our Provider", "localhost", 1234, this);
private LocalDateTime dateTime;
private String dateResult;
// This defines the expected interaction for out test
@Pact(provider = "Our Provider", consumer = "Our Little Consumer")
public RequestResponsePact pact(PactDslWithProvider builder) {
dateTime = LocalDateTime.now();
dateResult = "2013-08-16T15:31:20+10:00";
return builder
.given("data count > 0")
.uponReceiving("a request for json data")
.path("/provider.json")
.method("GET")
.query("validDate=" + dateTime.toString())
.willRespondWith()
.status(200)
.body(
new PactDslJsonBody()
.stringValue("test", "NO")
.stringValue("date", dateResult)
.numberValue("count", 100)
)
.toPact();
}
@Test
@PactVerification("Our Provider")
public void pactWithOurProvider() throws UnirestException {
// Set up our HTTP client class
Client client = new Client(provider.getUrl());
// Invoke out client
List<Object> result = client.fetchAndProcessData(dateTime);
assertThat(result, hasSize(2));
assertThat(result.get(0), is(1));
assertThat(result.get(1), is(ZonedDateTime.parse(dateResult)));
}
}
This test starts a mock server on a random port that pretends to be our provider. To get this to work we needed to update
our consumer to pass in the URL of the provider. We also updated the fetchAndProcessData method to pass in the
query parameter.
Running this spec still passes, but it creates a pact file which we can use to validate our assumptions on the provider side.
$ ./gradlew :consumer:check

}There are two ways of validating a pact file against a provider. The first is using a build tool (like Gradle) to execute the pact against the running service. The second is to write a pact verification test. We will be doing both in this step.
First, we need to publish the pact file from the consumer project. For this workshop, we have a publishWorkshopPact task in the
main project to do this.
$ ./gradlew publishWorkshopPact
BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 0s
2 actionable tasks: 2 up-to-datThe Pact file from the consumer project will now exist in the build directory of the two provider projects.
For the springboot provider, we are going to use Gradle to verify the pact file for us. We need to add the pact gradle plugin and the spawn plugin to the project and configure them.
NOTE: This will not work on Windows, as the Gradle spawn plugin will not work with Windows.
providers/springboot-provider/build.gradle:
plugins {
id "au.com.dius.pact" version "4.1.7"
id "com.wiredforcode.spawn" version "0.8.2"
}task startProvider(type: SpawnProcessTask, dependsOn: 'assemble') {
command "java -jar ${jar.archivePath}"
ready 'Started MainApplication'
}
task stopProvider(type: KillProcessTask) {
}
pact {
serviceProviders {
'Our_Provider' {
port = 8080
startProviderTask = startProvider
terminateProviderTask = stopProvider
hasPactWith('Our Little Consumer') {
pactFile = file("$buildDir/pacts/Our Little Consumer-Our Provider.json")
}
}
}
}Now if we copy the pact file from the consumer project and run our pact verification task, it should fail.

5 actionable tasks: 5 executedThe test has failed for 2 reasons. Firstly, the count field has a different value to what was expected by the consumer.
Secondly, and more importantly, the consumer was expecting a date field while the provider generates a validDate
field. Also, the date formats are different.
In this step we will verify the same pact file against the Dropwizard provider using a JUnit test. If you need to,
re-run the publishWorkshopPact to get the pact file in the provider project.
We add the pact provider junit jar and the dropwizard testing jar to our project dependencies, and then we can create a simple test to verify our provider.
@RunWith(PactRunner.class)
@Provider("Our Provider")
@PactFolder("build/pacts")
public class PactVerificationTest {
@ClassRule
public static final DropwizardAppRule<ServiceConfig> RULE = new DropwizardAppRule<ServiceConfig>(MainApplication.class,
ResourceHelpers.resourceFilePath("main-app-config.yaml"));
@TestTarget
public final Target target = new HttpTarget(8080);
@State("data count > 0")
public void dataCountGreaterThanZero() {
}
}This test will start the dropwizard app (using the class rule), and then execute the pact requests (defined by the
@PactFolder annotation) against the test target.
Running this test will fail for the same reasons as in step 4.

}
1.2) BodyMismatch: $.count BodyMismatch: Expected 100 (Integer) but received 1000 (Integer)
Let's correct the consumer test to handle any integer for count and use the correct field for the date. Then we need
to add a type matcher for count and change the field for the date to be validDate. We can also add a date expression
to make sure the validDate field is a valid date. This is important because we are parsing it.
The consumer test is now updated to:
.body(
new PactDslJsonBody()
.stringValue("test", "NO")
.datetime("validDate", "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssXX", dateResult.toInstant())
.integerType("count", 100)
)Running this test will fail until we fix the client. Here is the correct client function:
public List<Object> fetchAndProcessData(LocalDateTime dateTime) throws UnirestException {
JsonNode data = loadProviderJson(dateTime);
System.out.println("data=" + data);
JSONObject jsonObject = data.getObject();
int value = 100 / jsonObject.getInt("count");
TemporalAccessor date = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssXX")
.parse(jsonObject.getString("validDate"));
System.out.println("value=" + value);
System.out.println("date=" + date);
return Arrays.asList(value, OffsetDateTime.from(date));
}Now the test passes. But we still have a problem with the date format, which we must fix in the provider. Running the client now fails because of that.

Lets fix the providers and then re-run the verification tests. Here is the corrected Dropwizard resource:
@RestController
public class RootController {
@RequestMapping("/provider.json")
public Map<String, Serializable> providerJson(@RequestParam(required = false) String validDate) {
LocalDateTime validTime = LocalDateTime.parse(validDate);

map.put("validDate", OffsetDateTime.now().format(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssXX")));
map.put("count", 1000);
return map;
}
}
Running the verification against the providers now pass. Yay!
In this step we are going to add a test for the case where the query parameter is missing or invalid. We do this by adding additional tests and expectations to the consumer pact test. Our client code needs to be modified slightly to be able to pass invalid dates in, and if the date parameter is null, don't include it in the request.
Here are the two additional tests:
consumer/src/test/java/au/com/dius/pactworkshop/consumer/ClientPactTest.java:
@Pact(provider = "Our Provider", consumer = "Our Little Consumer")
public RequestResponsePact pactForMissingDateParameter(PactDslWithProvider builder) {
dateTime = LocalDateTime.now();
dateResult = OffsetDateTime.now().truncatedTo(ChronoUnit.SECONDS);
return builder
.given("data count > 0")
.uponReceiving("a request with a missing date parameter")
.path("/provider.json")
.method("GET")
.willRespondWith()
.status(400)
.body(
new PactDslJsonBody().stringValue("error", "validDate is required")
)
.toPact();
}
@Test
@PactVerification(value = "Our Provider", fragment = "pactForMissingDateParameter")
public void handlesAMissingDateParameter() throws UnirestException {
// Set up our HTTP client class
Client client = new Client(provider.getUrl());
// Invoke out client
List<Object> result = client.fetchAndProcessData(null);
assertThat(result, hasSize(2));
assertThat(result.get(0), is(0));
assertThat(result.get(1), nullValue());
}
@Pact(provider = "Our Provider", consumer = "Our Little Consumer")
public RequestResponsePact pactForInvalidDateParameter(PactDslWithProvider builder) {
dateTime = LocalDateTime.now();
dateResult = OffsetDateTime.now().truncatedTo(ChronoUnit.SECONDS);
return builder
.given("data count > 0")
.uponReceiving("a request with an invalid date parameter")
.path("/provider.json")
.method("GET")
.query("validDate=This is not a date")
.willRespondWith()
.status(400)
.body(
new PactDslJsonBody().stringValue("error", "'This is not a date' is not a date")
)
.toPact();
}
@Test
@PactVerification(value = "Our Provider", fragment = "pactForInvalidDateParameter")
public void handlesAInvalidDateParameter() throws UnirestException {
// Set up our HTTP client class
Client client = new Client(provider.getUrl());
// Invoke out client
List<Object> result = client.fetchAndProcessData("This is not a date");
assertThat(result, hasSize(2));
assertThat(result.get(0), is(0));
assertThat(result.get(1), nullValue());
}After running our specs, the pact file will have 2 new interactions.

Time to update the providers to handle these cases.
Let's fix our providers so they generate the correct responses for the query parameters.
The Dropwizard root resource gets updated to check if the parameter has been passed, and handle the date parse exception if it is invalid. Two new exceptions get thrown for these cases.
@GET
public Map<String, Serializable> providerJson(@QueryParam("validDate") Optional<String> validDate) {
if (validDate.isPresent()) {
try {
LocalDateTime validTime = LocalDateTime.parse(validDate.get());
Map<String, Serializable> result = new HashMap<>(3);
result.put("test", "NO");
result.put("validDate", OffsetDateTime.now().format(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssXX")));
result.put("count", 1000);
return result;
} catch (DateTimeParseException e) {
throw new InvalidQueryParameterException("'" + validDate.get() + "' is not a date", e);
}
} else {
throw new QueryParameterRequiredException("validDate is required");
}
}Next step is to create exception mappers for the new exceptions, and register them with the Dropwizard environment.
public class InvalidQueryParameterExceptionMapper implements ExceptionMapper<InvalidQueryParameterException> {
@Override
public Response toResponse(InvalidQueryParameterException exception) {
return Response.status(Response.Status.BAD_REQUEST)
.type(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_TYPE)
.entity("{\"error\": \"" + exception.getMessage() + "\"}")
.build();
}
}The main provider run method becomes:
void run(ServiceConfig configuration, Environment environment) {
environment.jersey().register(new InvalidQueryParameterExceptionMapper())
environment.jersey().register(new QueryParameterRequiredExceptionMapper())
environment.jersey().register(new RootResource())
}Now running the PactVerificationTest will pass.
The Springboot root controller gets updated in a similar way to the Dropwizard resource.
@RequestMapping("/provider.json")
public Map<String, Serializable> providerJson(@RequestParam(required = false) String validDate) {
if (StringUtils.isNotEmpty(validDate)) {
try {
LocalDateTime validTime = LocalDateTime.parse(validDate);
Map<String, Serializable> map = new HashMap<>(3);
map.put("test", "NO");
map.put("validDate", OffsetDateTime.now().format(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssXX")));
map.put("count", 1000);
return map;
} catch (DateTimeParseException e) {
throw new InvalidQueryParameterException("'" + validDate + "' is not a date", e);
}
} else {
throw new QueryParameterRequiredException("validDate is required");
}
}Then, to get the exceptions mapped to the correct response, we need to create a controller advice.
@ControllerAdvice(basePackageClasses = RootController.class)
public class RootControllerAdvice extends ResponseEntityExceptionHandler {
@ExceptionHandler({InvalidQueryParameterException.class, QueryParameterRequiredException.class})
@ResponseBody
public ResponseEntity<String> handleControllerException(HttpServletRequest request, Throwable ex) {
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
return new ResponseEntity<>("{\"error\": \"" + ex.getMessage() + "\"}", headers, HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST);
}
}Now running the pactVerify is all successful.
We have one final thing to test for. If the provider ever returns a count of zero, we will get a division by zero error in our client. This is an important bit of information to add to our contract. Let us start with a consumer test for this.
@Pact(provider = "Our Provider", consumer = "Our Little Consumer")
public RequestResponsePact pactForWhenThereIsNoData(PactDslWithProvider builder) {
dateTime = LocalDateTime.now();
return builder
.given("data count == 0")
.uponReceiving("a request for json data")
.path("/provider.json")
.method("GET")
.query("validDate=" + dateTime.toString())
.willRespondWith()
.status(404)
.toPact();
}
@Test
@PactVerification(value = "Our Provider", fragment = "pactForWhenThereIsNoData")
public void whenThereIsNoData() throws UnirestException {
// Set up our HTTP client class
Client client = new Client(provider.getUrl());
// Invoke out client
List<Object> result = client.fetchAndProcessData(dateTime.toString());
assertThat(result, hasSize(2));
assertThat(result.get(0), is(0));
assertThat(result.get(1), nullValue());
}This adds a new interaction to the pact file:
{
"description": "a request for json data",
"request": {
"method": "GET",
"path": "/provider.json",
"query": {
"validDate": [
"2020-06-16T13:56:47.303"
]
}
},
"response": {
"status": 404
},
"providerStates": [
{
"name": "data count == 0"
}
]
}
To be able to verify our providers, we need to be able to change the data that the provider returns. There are different ways of doing this depending on how the provider is being verified.
The dropwizard provider is being verified by a test, so we can setup methods annotated with the state and then modify the controller appropriately. First, we need some data store that we could manipulate. For out case, we are just going to use a singleton class, but in a real project you would probably use a database.
public class DataStore {
public static final DataStore INSTANCE = new DataStore();
private int dataCount = 1000;
private DataStore() { }
public int getDataCount() {
return dataCount;
}
public void setDataCount(int dataCount) {
this.dataCount = dataCount;
}
}Next, we update our root resource to use the value from the data store, and throw an exception if there is no data.
@GET
public Map<String, Serializable> providerJson(@QueryParam("validDate") Optional<String> validDate) {
if (validDate.isPresent()) {
if (DataStore.INSTANCE.getDataCount() > 0) {
try {
LocalDateTime validTime = LocalDateTime.parse(validDate.get());
Map<String, Serializable> result = new HashMap<>(3);
result.put("test", "NO");
result.put("validDate", OffsetDateTime.now().format(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssXX")));
result.put("count", DataStore.INSTANCE.getDataCount());
return result;
} catch (DateTimeParseException e) {
throw new InvalidQueryParameterException("'" + validDate.get() + "' is not a date", e);
}
} else {
throw new NoDataException();
}
} else {
throw new QueryParameterRequiredException("validDate is required");
}
}We do the same exception mapping for the new exception as we did before.
public class NoDataExceptionMapper implements ExceptionMapper<NoDataException> {
@Override
public Response toResponse(NoDataException exception) {
return Response.status(Response.Status.NOT_FOUND).build();
}
}Now we can change the data store value in our test based on the provider state.
@State("data count > 0")
public void dataCountGreaterThanZero() {
DataStore.INSTANCE.setDataCount(1000);
}
@State("data count == 0")
public void dataCountZero() {
DataStore.INSTANCE.setDataCount(0);
}Running the test now passes.
Our Springboot provider is being verified by the Pact Gradle verification task, which requires the provider to be running in the background. We can not directly manipulate it. The Gradle task has a state change URL feature that can help us here. This is basically a special URL that will receive the state that the provider needs to be in.
First, lets enable the state change URL handling in the build gradle file.
pact {
serviceProviders {
'Our_Provider' {
port = 8080
startProviderTask = startProvider
terminateProviderTask = stopProvider
stateChangeUrl = url('http://localhost:8080/pactStateChange')
hasPactWith('Our Little Consumer') {
pactFile = file("$buildDir/pacts/Our Little Consumer-Our Provider.json")
}
}
}
}Now we create a new controller to handle this. As this controller is only for our test, we make sure it is only available in the test profile. We also need to make sure the app runs in the test profile by adding a parameter to the start task.
task startProvider(type: SpawnProcessTask, dependsOn: 'assemble') {
command "java -Dspring.profiles.active=test -jar ${jar.archivePath}"
ready 'Started MainApplication'
}Here is the state change controller:
@RestController
@Profile("test")
public class StateChangeController {
@RequestMapping(value = "/pactStateChange", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public void providerState(@RequestBody Map body) {
if (body.get("state").equals("data count > 0")) {
DataStore.INSTANCE.setDataCount(1000);
} else if (body.get("state").equals("data count == 0")) {
DataStore.INSTANCE.setDataCount(0);
}
}
}This controller will change the value of the datastore. We then use the datastore in our normal controller.
@RequestMapping("/provider.json")
public Map<String, Serializable> providerJson(@RequestParam(required = false) String validDate) {
if (StringUtils.isNotEmpty(validDate)) {
if (DataStore.INSTANCE.getDataCount() > 0) {
try {
LocalDateTime validTime = LocalDateTime.parse(validDate);
Map<String, Serializable> map = new HashMap<>(3);
map.put("test", "NO");
map.put("validDate", OffsetDateTime.now().format(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssXX")));
map.put("count", DataStore.INSTANCE.getDataCount());
return map;
} catch (DateTimeParseException e) {
throw new InvalidQueryParameterException("'" + validDate + "' is not a date", e);
}
} else {
throw new NoDataException();
}
} else {
throw new QueryParameterRequiredException("validDate is required");
}
}and update our controller advice to return the 404 response when a NoDataException is raised.
@ControllerAdvice(basePackageClasses = RootController.class)
public class RootControllerAdvice extends ResponseEntityExceptionHandler {
@ExceptionHandler({InvalidQueryParameterException.class, QueryParameterRequiredException.class})
@ResponseBody
public ResponseEntity<String> handleControllerException(HttpServletRequest request, Throwable ex) {
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
return new ResponseEntity<>("{\"error\": \"" + ex.getMessage() + "\"}", headers, HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST);
}
@ExceptionHandler(NoDataException.class)
@ResponseBody
ResponseEntity handleNoDataException(HttpServletRequest request, Throwable ex) {
return new ResponseEntity(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND);
}
}Running the Gradle pact verification now passes.
We've been publishing our pacts from the consumer project by coping the files over to the provider project, but we can use a Pact Broker to do this instead.
First, in the consumer project we need to add the Gradle Pact plugin and tell it about our broker.
plugins {
id "au.com.dius.pact" version "4.1.7"
}
... omitted ...
pact {
publish {
pactBrokerUrl = 'https://test.pact.dius.com.au'
pactBrokerUsername = project.pactBrokerUser
pactBrokerPassword = project.pactBrokerPassword
}
}
Now, we can run ./gradlew consumer:pactPublish after running the consumer tests to have the generated pact file
published to the broker. Afterwards, you can navigate to the Pact Broker URL and see the published pact against
the consumer and provider names setup in our consumer test.
In the PactVerificationTest we can change the source we fetch pacts from by using a @PactBroker annotation instead
of the @PactFolder one. We also need to pass the username and property through to the test.
Updated gradle build file:
test {
systemProperty 'pactBrokerUser', pactBrokerUser
systemProperty 'pactBrokerPassword', pactBrokerPassword
}Updated test:
@RunWith(PactRunner.class)
@Provider("Our Provider")
@PactBroker(host = "test.pact.dius.com.au", protocol = "https", port = "443",
authentication = @PactBrokerAuth(username = "${pactBrokerUser}", password = "${pactBrokerPassword}"))
public class PactVerificationTest {
@ClassRule
public static final DropwizardAppRule<ServiceConfig> RULE = new DropwizardAppRule<ServiceConfig>(MainApplication.class,
ResourceHelpers.resourceFilePath("main-app-config.yaml"));
@TestTarget
public final Target target = new HttpTarget(8080);
@State("data count > 0")
public void dataCountGreaterThanZero() {
DataStore.INSTANCE.setDataCount(1000);
}
@State("data count == 0")
public void dataCountZero() {
DataStore.INSTANCE.setDataCount(0);
}
}The springboot provider is using the Gradle plugin, so we can just configure its build to fetch the pacts from the broker.
Updated build file:
pact {
serviceProviders {
'Our Provider' {
port = 8080
startProviderTask = startProvider
terminateProviderTask = stopProvider
stateChangeUrl = url('http://localhost:8080/pactStateChange')
hasPactsFromPactBroker("https://test.pact.dius.com.au", authentication: ['Basic', pactBrokerUser, pactBrokerPassword])
}
}
}Running either of the verification tests will now publish the result back to the broker. If you refresh the index page in the broker, you will see the pacts marked as verified.
