You can have "E2E Testing Strategies" or "Microservices" but not both. Microservices are, by definition, "independently deployable" so you don't get to test them together before you deploy, because if you do you now have a distributed monolith - which is fine, but not m-service
Replying to @samnewman
@samnewman, I have read a lot about microservices but one topic I haven't seen much is end-to-end tests approaches for when start to adopt eventual consistent architectures. Your testing strategy has to evolve accordingly, adopting new expectations, but I wonder about strategies
