Topic: Cool Tools on the JVM to help you test
Bio:
Sometimes we do not want to talk process, we do not like to business, we just want to talk tech - juicy, geeky tech. This is what we are going to do in this session - talk tech. The great thing about the JVM is that it is cross-platform and therefore useable on the platforms that most of us delivery products upon. Even if your core development platform is not the JVM, you can still avail yourself to some of these tools to make your testing life easier. We are going to have whirl-wind tour through unit-testing, integration-testing, functional-testing, web-testing and API-testing. We are also going to look automating and deploying build infrastructure, making your life easier, so that you can have more time to spend on the most important part of testing - thinking. . Which tools am I going to demonstrate? Come to the session and find out!
