Kyiv JUG Meetup: Clean Tests / JDK changes (подія в архіві)

Speakers:

Noam Almog, Tech Lead @Wix

Topic: “An Obsessive Compulsive Guide To Clean Tests”

TDD isn’t news, and most everyone agrees that writing tests (before, during or after implementation) is valuable. Hardly anyone agrees on what good, clean tests look like, though; if your tests are a live specification of your codebase, don’t they deserve the same care and attention as your production code?

This talk focuses on how to keep your tests readable, simple and maintainable. Specifically we will discuss how the “given-when-then” pattern affects the way you factor your code, and showcase the remarkable differences between a sloppy specification and a well-factored one.

Moderate experience with testing is expected; knowledge Scala might be helpful but is not required.

Igor Dmitriev, Software Engineer @Very Good Group

Topic: “JDK changes behind the scenes”

We have been using Java 7 and 8 for a long time. There are many new features, like Stream API, Lambdas, Optional, New Data/Time API, Default methods, etc. At the same time, there are so many small improvements as well, which go without attracting attention. Many developers do not even know about those changes. Therefore, we are going to change this.
