Event Description

Hello GatorJUG,

This month, March, we have the pleasure of another presentation from a special very talented developer for our monthly meeting. Curtis McMillan will be our speaker.

TITLE

Why mock when Arquillian rocks?!

 

ABSTRACT

Unit testing is a waste of time.  Yep, I said it.  If your application runs inside a container, like say a Java EE application, how do you unit test code which depends on container provided services such as security, transaction management, and injection?  Well you simply mock the transaction manager, and the security layer, and the injected dependencies, and whatever else your code depends on and then, finally, you write your unit test.  Simple right?  Stop making a mockery of testing and start writing real tests, for real code, running inside a real container.  Come see how Arquillian makes this a snap and will make you cooler, smarter, and even better looking.
