Hey #developer! Do you suffer from test failures when #refactoring? I dare you to investigate your #unitTests. I'm confident that you will find your tests using a lot of mocks! These #solitaryTests tend to break when refactoring.
Why don't you try #sociableTesting?

Had a great first day at #GoTechWorld in #Bucharest with a great talk about #GithubActions! The Speaker/exhibitor party afterwards was also a great moment to meet new people. As we should… we ended up in the bar of our hotel for a good closure!

Last week, I elaborated on requirements. But to create good software solutions, developers also need good Acceptance Criteria!

Next week I'll be attending the #GoTechWorld conference in #Bucharest. Here I'll be speaking about how you can easily improve your unit tests.
If you're also there, you're welcome to come and find me for a quick chat and a cup of coffee!

Software developers are great at solving problems! However, they need to know exactly what problems they should solve. To do our job, we need good user stories of which requirements are the core! What are #requirements? Link to more details in the comments!

Just had the opportunity to present how you can easily write robust unit tests. Tests that help you change your code with confidence, without fear of breaking things.
Thanks @rotterdamjug.bsky.social and @royvanrijn.com for having me!

First speaker of the day is @wbauweraerts.bsky.social on moving from fragile to fearless tests.
Perfect breakdown on how testing should be used to be able to test and deploy with confidence 💪🏼

Dealing with legacy code is inevitable code. Sometimes it's well-structured, but often it's poor quality, like spaghetti, with testing gaps. When refactoring legacy, apply "Golden Master" or "Lift Up Conditional" to increase confidence in maintenance. #softwareDevelopment #legacy #quality

I just released both 5.5.0 and 5.5.1 of instancio-fixture-builder release for compatibility with all recent #instancio versions.
No major changes in the fixture builder concept, just had to do some version updates!
Support for Java 25 (LTS) is on it's way!
