Refactoring Kung Fu – Part II
Last time I gave you a sneak peak at our PastaMaker. You can check the whole project here. Let’s take a closer look. The main logic is in our PastaMaker, so focusing on testing it makes sense. Most of the Read more…
Refactoring Kung Fu – Part I
As long time readers, you know that if we’ve got legacy code, we want tests for that. However, the code doesn’t always play along. As you’ll see in this example, this is the kind of code that really needs tests. Read more…
Real Life TDD With Spring – The Road to the First Test III
We’ve come up with a few alternatives for the APIs (their draft version, anyway). I’m going to weigh them here, and remind ourselves – this is the internal API forma, but also has a REST counterpart. Let’s talk about each Read more…
Real Life TDD With Spring – The Road to the First Test II
Last time, we started thinking about considerations for picking the right test to start with. We decided to start with integration tests. So, which cases do we want to cover? Obviously, they should capture the main functionality of the system. Read more…
Real Life TDD With Spring – The Road to the First Test I
When we set up the project, we ran a couple of tests (integration and unit) to see if the environment we have runs them. There was no actual logic involved, but we got initial feedback that the platform is ready Read more…
Real Life TDD With Spring – Initial Project Setup
Finally! Actual TDD and code and Spring! Well, we’ll start with Spring first. But first a reminder. We’ve already constrained ourselves with the architecture. This is going to be a web based, REST services based Spring application. In the general Read more…
Real Life TDD – Test Case Analysis, Part IV
PM: You know, you could have something built by now. You do call this series “integration testing with Spring TDD” or something. Me: Yeah, and I would probably build something you did not want. Just a few more cases. Remember, Read more…
Real Life TDD – Test Case Analysis, Part III
Product Manager: Man, you still haven’t touched your keyboard? I haven’t seen you doing any Spring or TDD or anything technical yet. Are we going anywhere with this? Me: Of course! It’s calculation time! That’s what you wanted, right? Let’s Read more…
Real Life TDD – Test Case Analysis, Part II
So many TDD cases, so many posts. And no Spring in sight yet. I promise, we’ll get there. For now, let’s continue to explore the requirements. Where did we last stop? Pressing any digit key, the display adds that digit Read more…
Real Life TDD – Test Case Analysis, Part I
It is customary to think that in TDD we run ahead and just write tests. Not today, Spring will have to wait. Let’s break down the requirement into test cases, so we can understand them better. Buckle your seat belts, Read more…
