SoftwareGarden.dev
Notorious engineer at work and after hours, tracing meanders of the art of software engineering. Remote Software Gardener, mostly working in web-oriented Java gardens. Programming usually in Java (since 1.3) and Scala, but in other languages too. Fan of agility, seen mostly as choosing the right tools and approaches after asking the right questions. Developer, trainer and conference speaker. In his talks, Piotr covers not only hardcore Java but also software architecture, computer security, and soft-skills.
Spoiler alert: this is a "from zero to hero" session. Assuming you're familiar with programming (hopefully in Java), after this session you should be able to explain why Testcontainers are needed, simple and powerful đ
The pyramids in Egypt were built in ancient times. We still admire them today, appreciating the craftsmanship and hard work of their builders. However, do we build houses from giant stone blocks today? Not likely, current times bring other needs and offer other technologies.
Pyramids of testing were also built some time ago. We admire legacy projects with a rich set of tests, but do we create projects today the same way we did 10-15-20 years ago? If not, why do we still want to test them the same way?
Maybe the shape of todayâs projects' tests should no longer resemble a pyramid? Our needs are different, and the possibilities, thanks to the Testcontainers, have also advanced a lot.
If you have a feeling that integration testing can bring a lot to your project, but somehow you havenât had the chance to get acquainted with Testcontainers so far, or youâre afraid that itâs just âmagic for top developersâ, this lecture is for you.
First, we'll see why integration tests are mandatory for any modern system and what benefits they give your team and your product.
Next, we'll see why Testcontainers is a perfect tool for this job: we'll grasp some key concepts, debunk myths, to finish with more sophisticated scenarios and optimisation techniques.
