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.

Also, what room is it? Has 317 been confirmed?
What is the topic? CDI? Unit testing?
Sounds very interesting unfortunately I have a schedule conflict. Thank you for the invitation.
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

By Steef-Jan WiggersIn this podcast, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods spoke to Sergii Gorbachov, a staff engineer at Slack, about how they successfully used AI combined with traditional coding approaches to migrate 20,000 tests in 10 months, discovering that AI alone was insufficient and required human oversight and conventional tools to work effectively.
