CD, Testing and Quality

Who cares whether we test first, last or in between?

All measures leading to less bugs and higher quality are highly welcome. This workshop covers from Unit Tests, over mocking, to Integration-, System-, Stress- and Functional Tests with Focus On Java EE 8 in a dogma-free fashion.

Just good coverage is not enough, only a high degree of automation reduces bugs without negatively impacting the productivity.

Prerequisites

Java EE knowledge or attendance at the Effective Java EE 8 workshop. Java EE Architecture workshop attendance or comparable skills are recommended.

• Pragmatic, Simple and Fast (Maven) Builds
• Beyond Maven: deployment and provisioning
• Building Jenkins 2.0 declarative and scripted pipelines (Jenkinsfile)
• Pipeline as code
• Pipelines in the clouds
• Using liveness, readiness probes, healthchecks and metrics in system tests
• Sample continuous delivery and continous deployment pipelines
• Building, testing and deploying Cloud Native (Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift) and Microservice applications
• Unit- and Integration Testing with JUnit
• Testing JavaScript applications
• Parameterized tests, integration tests, advanced asserts
• Verifying code coverage quality
• Mocking with mockito
• Testing Java EE 8 with JUnit 5
• Testing and deploying with docker
• Performance Tuning and Repository Manager Integration
• Killer Use Cases for arquillian and embedded tests
• UI and Acceptance Testing
• Pragmatic frontend / JavaScript / HTML tests
• System Tests or Back To Reality
• Automatic Server Setup and Deployment
• System Tests with JUnit 5, Java 11 ...and JavaScript?
• Performing Stress, Torture and Load Tests
• Nightly Stress Tests with JMeter and JMH
• Strategies for "Business" Traceability
• Functional Integrated Testing with or without Fitnesse
• Parameterized Functional Tests
• Continuous Quality Assurance
• Rule Adjustments and Customization for Sonar
• Cloud-ready CI/CD pipelines
• ...your questions are welcome!

In this workshop I'm going to explain the agenda with working build and deployment pipelines. We will discuss the approaches to real world testing, automation and optimizations on real world code and in real time. According to long airhacks.com tradition, the attendees will get all the examples in real time.

As a reference, you will get a GIT repository with all samples and solutions, as well as the prepared sample applications. Also a GIT repository is going to be used throughout our course, so you will be able to synchronize your projects at any time. (ZIP snapshots will be available as well in nearly real time:-))

You will need a modern laptop with pre-installed Java 8/9, GIT-client, and Maven 3 to get the most from this workshop. We will install the rest of the environment together in the first 10 minutes.

We will spend 70% of the time with code and the remaining part discussing best practices, hacks and workarounds.
