Hexagonal Testing

Are you tired of brittle test suites, that keep breaking for no good reasons at all? Does maintaining your test suite feels like doubling your efforts on a service? Do you avoid big refactoring because you're afraid of your own tests? Well, I've been there… In this talk I demonstrate a concept of how to achieve a great test coverage on hexagonal services written in Spring Boot with minimal test code, no mocks and great expression of intent. Never done a hexagonal service? No problem! I'll explain all core concepts in the first part of the talk to make sure we're all on the same page. After hearing this, you should have a good idea of how to refactor your tests and know some new helpful libraries and design patterns for tests.

Level-up Your Testing Toolkit!

Have you ever heard about property-based testing? Do you know about mutation testing? Are you familiar with approval testing? What is your opinion about fuzzing? Many terms, techniques, and tools have come up since the invention of unit testing. But who has time to look into all of them? Thankfully, over the last few years, we were fortunate enough to have that time. In this talk, we want to share the insights we gained with you. Hence, we will lead you through each of the terms, explain their most important characteristics, and in which cases they hold value. This may not make you an expert, but gives you enough of an impression, to judge for yourself if a topic is worth further investigation.

How (Not) to Measure Quality

Measuring quality is hard, defining what quality is is difficult, being aware of why you measure is fundamentally important. Learn how to choose and combine metrics to create something valuable.
