During this talk, you will see the relevance of creating integration/end-to-end tests so that the developers can change the application’s behavior and simply detect possible problems. Most developers use different alternatives connected with some particular framework or library, so they must write all the tests again when they decide to move to another one.
You will see a short scene where you have an application where you will define the test using Karate in a way that is agnostic to the framework with the possibility to reuse the scenarios of the difficulty to create some performance tests and detect possible problems related to the use of resources or the latency.
Talk Takeaways
Andres Sacco has been working as a developer since 2007 in different languages, including Java, PHP, NodeJs, Scala, and Kotlin. Most of his background is in Java and the libraries or frameworks associated with this language. In most of the companies he worked for, he researched new technologies to improve the performance, stability, and quality of the applications of each company.
In 2017 he started to find new ways to optimize the transference of data between applications to reduce the cost of infrastructure. He suggested some actions, some of them applicable in all the manual microservices and others in just a few. All this work concludes with the creation of a series of theoric-practical projects, which are available on the page Manning.com.
Recently he published a book on Apress about the last version of Scala. Also, he published a set of theoric-practical projects about uncommon ways of testing like architecture tests and chaos engineering.
He dictated internal courses to different audiences like developers, business analysts, and commercial people. Also, he participates as a Technical Reviewer on the books of the editorials: Manning, Apress, and Packt.
