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
- Maven: Use JUnit 5 with Spring Boot for unit and integration tests is a practical blog post that helps you run your unit and integration tests with Maven when you are using Spring Boot.
- WireMock Tutorial: Request Matching, Part Three is the latest part of my WireMock tutorial, and it helps you to specify your expectations for the JSON document received by your WireMock server.
The Really Valuable Stuff
- Classic TDD or "London School"? is a bit old but very useful blog post. It explains the differences of these two approaches and helps you to choose the right tool for the job.
- Good and Bad UI Test Automation Explained is an interesting blog post that describes how you can write good UI tests.
- “Tests are useless if they don’t fail” is a thought-provoking post which argues tests provide useful information even if they don't fail. I agree. The problem is that if you have never seen that a test fails, you cannot be sure that your test can fail.
If the blog is registered in Ministry of testing RSS Aggregator - then its easy to track using paper.li or a Telegram Bot, instead of trying to track hundreds of hardly active blog sites.

Hi,
I use the Ministry of Testing RSS aggregator, and I think that it's a great service. Also, I have thought that I should register this blog to it, but I haven't done it for one reason:
I want to write technical blog posts which don't have anything to do with testing.
Of course, I can do this even if my blog is visible on the RSS aggregator of Ministry of Testing. However, I could look like a spammer if I would litter a good testing feed with irrelevant blog posts.
I love the newsletter and just wanted to say thanks for the mention!
You are welcome!
