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
- Guide to JUnit 5 Parameterized Tests is a practical blog post that helps you to write your first parameterized tests with JUnit 5.
- Node.js & JavaScript Testing Best Practices is a long (but good) blog post which describes 29 best practices that help you to write better tests for Node.js applications.
- Running your JUnit 5 integration test with an embedded elasticsearch on a random port (and optionally Spring Boot) is an interesting blog post that describes how can you start an ElasticSearch server before your test methods are run when you are using JUnit 5.
The Really Valuable Stuff
- Have I Tried Enough Weird Stuff? is a thought-provoking blog post which demonstrates that most of the time you don't try the really hairy stuff when you are testing your application.
- The need for testing strategy document is a good blog post which explains why you don't need a formal test strategy document.
