This blog is for me a platform to share my knowledge in the area of software development. Main focus will be about the Java ecosystem, because that is where my expertise lies.
In this post, we are going to explore how to write data driven tests with Robot Framework. We will take a look at how data driven tests can be written with standard Robot Framework syntax and we will take a look at the Data Driver Library which offers some interesting features.

Robot Framework is an open source test automation framework. It is keyword driven and therefore very suitable to describe and automate acceptance tests. In this post, we will introduce Robot Framework and dive into the basic concepts.

In this post, we will take a look at how we can use Testcontainers for our integration tests. Testcontainers will allow us to write integration tests making use of containerized databases, message queues, web browsers, etc. without a dependency on a local installation.

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.
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.
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.
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.
In November 2019, ‘The Unicorn Project’ by Gene Kim has been released. The book focuses on the development part of the Unicorn project of Parts Unlimited which was introduced in the well-known book ‘The Phoenix Project’. I finally had the time to read it and share some thoughts about it.
In this post, we will explore the Jira Rest API. We will explain how you can use the Jira API in order to generate a user based time report. Besides that, it is a good excuse to do some Python coding.
Skaffold is a command line tool developed by Google which aims to facilitate continuous development for Kubernetes applications. It will automate the task of building and deploying to a Kubernetes cluster whereas you, as a developer, can stay focused on writing code. Seems interesting enough to take a closer look at it!
