Monitoring Software Quality with Continuous Integration
The practice of continuous integration facilitates early visibility into the development process by regularly conducting software builds, thus integrating disparate software pieces earlier than later, which often times minimizes the interval between when a defect is coded and when it is discovered. Given the automated nature of continuous integration spawned builds, software teams can now start to look at their build process as something more useful than a simple compile and test process.
Refactoring Ant builds with Ivy, Groovy, and good old fashion common sense
Are your Ant builds giant XML files that scream for attention? Why not enhance your build process to act like a quality gate, much like a test suite would?
Behavior-driven development in Java
Behavior-driven development, or BDD, has attracted a lot of attention a la RSpec in the Ruby community, but BDD's roots stem from JBehave, a Java based framework. In this session, we'll look at what BDD is and how it shifts the traditional testing vocabulary from being test-based to behavior-based.
Developing (and testing) with the GWT from end to end
Because GWT applications are written in plain old Java, they can be easily incorporated into a traditional build process and your favorite IDE; plus, you can test aspects of these applications with JUnit, not to mention, everyone's favorite functional testing framework: Selenium.
