Official ISTQB Definition
Testing of gRPC services using Protocol Buffers, covering unary, server-streaming, client-streaming, and bidirectional RPC calls.
In simple words
Testing gRPC APIs — the high-performance protocol used between microservices.
Exam tip
gRPC tests typically use generated stubs; contract testing is critical since schemas are strongly typed.
