Rethinking #Spring Application #IntegrationTesting

The testing pyramid advocates for a balanced approach with many fast unit tests at the base, fewer integration tests in the middle, and a minimal set of end-to-end tests at the top to ensure reliable and efficient bug detection.

Testing #APIs ≠ mocking a class. Integration bugs hide in configs, headers, and serialization quirks. Marián Varga shows how @WireMockOrg & REST Assured make #Java integration tests real.

One of the things a good CMake-powered C++ library should do is to test its own integration - in other words, if others can plug it into their projects. One reason is obvious - nobody will use your library if they can't. The second one is pragmatic - the tests act as documentation for the users.

I've spent many hours refining my integration testing of CMake code, and I've compiled my learnings into the following article:

I've also fallen into the inevitable rabbit hole of dependency management in CMake, so if you want to learn about that, the article has you covered as well! 😵‍💫

What do you think? Are there other aspects of integration that are worth testing? And would you be interested in an article on how to make findable prebuilt packages with CMake?

Why Mock Databases Kill QA Confidence

TL;DR: Mock databases are great for quick unit tests, but they fail to catch the real-world issues from production environments. For reliable database testing, you need database clones that mirror your production schema, data patterns, and performance semantics. With production-grade database clones for QA and staging, you ensure that bugs are caught early, performance is realistic, and QA confidence stays high.

We’ve been there. All of us. Including me. The build is tested and signed off. […]
