There are many software development blogs out there, but many of them don't publish testing articles on a regular basis.
Also, I have noticed that some software developers don't read blogs written by software testers. That is a shame because I think that we can learn a lot from them.
That is why I decided to create a newsletter that shares the best testing articles which I found during the last week.
Let's get started.
Technical Stuff
- Calling Custom Java Code in Karate API Tests is a practical blog post that describes how you write tests which invoke Java code.
- Scatter Assertions describes five different options which you can use when you have to write multiple assertions for an object with JUnit 5.
- Win a Lifetime Access to the Starter Package of My Test With Spring Course explains why the second edition of my testing course will be better than the first, and describes what you have to do if you want to win a lifetime access to the starter package of my testing course.
- WireMock Tutorial: Request Matching, Part Two describes how you can specify your expectations for cookies, HTTP headers, and request parameters.
The Really Valuable Stuff
- Testing on the Toilet: Keep Tests Focused is excellent blog post that explains why a good unit test tests only one scenario.
- Which Test Cases Should I Automate is a thought-provoking blog post that describes what you have to take into account when you want to automate existing test cases. Also, the author identifies 10 questions that should help you to understand that automating your existing test cases is not a be good idea after all.
