Create Custom Robot Framework Libraries
Robot Framework supports numerous libraries which can be used out-of-the-box. But what if we need functionality which is custom to our application? In that case, we can write our own custom library. In this post, we will take a look at how we can share keywords between Test Suites and how we can create our own custom Robot Framework library.

Easy Database Migration With Liquibase
In this post, we take a look at how we can easily manage our database migration scripts by means of Liquibase. Liquibase will automatically execute necessary database migration scripts during application startup. We will explore some of the features of Liquibase by means of a simple Spring Boot application in combination with a PostgreSQL database.
Mutation Testing With SonarQube
In a previous post, we explored the PIT Mutation Testing Maven plugin. This time, we will take a look how we can integrate the results with SonarQube, our favorite software analysis tool.
What Is Your Test Quality?
You have consistently written unit tests and you have a line coverage of, let us say, 80% and all of your tests pass. Pretty good, isn’t it? But then you change your code and still all of your tests pass although you have changed code which is covered by your unit tests. In this post, we will take a look at mutation testing which will test the quality of your unit tests.
How to Mock a Rest API in Python
A few posts ago, we published a blog about how to use the Jira API. We did not write any unit tests for the application we wrote and that is exactly what we are going to do now. More specifically, we will focus on how we can unit test a Rest API.
