Learning bLog

Writing an integration test which test end to end flow of your application can become cumbersome activity if you really hitting real db and services. The best way to mock, test double your external dependencies and thus speed up your test execution. I created a dummy map-service project which demonstrate about writing maintainable and speedy integration tests using mocking, test double pattern, spring and automating them using maven and jetty. You can find the project at my github location: https://github.com/sagarr/maps-service Here are some code snippets explaining the important steps in configuring your project. POM - Configure jetty for deploying your app and running tests against it. . org.mortbay.jetty jetty-maven-plugin ${jettyVersion} /${project.artifactId} 8005 STOP 5 true 8080 60000 start-jetty pre-integration-test run 0 true stop-jetty post-integration...

Recently, I started exploring and learning Scala and functional programming. So far, it is a good experience and as a programmer gives you new "functional" thought process about problem. The best way to learn Scala or any language for that matter is to start writing Katas in that language. Coding Kata, if you're not familiar with it then must visit codingdojo.org . In short, coding kata is programming practice mostly done in TDD way, which makes you better programmer. BTW, If you're wondering where are my katas in Scala, you can find them here: https://github.com/sagarr/scala-dojo
