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
- JUnit5 Assertion Migration Strategy is an interesting blog post that introduces a strategy that helps you to migrate your assertions from JUnit 4 to JUnit 5.
- Why Good Developers Write Bad Unit Tests is a thought-provoking blog post that explains how you can write clean unit tests. Even though I don't agree with every tip given the author, I think that you should read this blog post.
The Really Valuable Stuff
- A False Dichotomy of Modern Testing is a good blog post which explains why the testing vs checking discussion makes no sense.
- Lean Testing is an excellent and thought-provoking blog post that explains how you can apply lean principles to software testing.
It's Time to Update Your Dependencies
- Java httpbin 1.0.0
- TestContainers 1.10.1 (built-in support for JUnit 5)
