Robot Framework Acceptance Tests: Develop With Eclipse, Run With Maven

5. March 2010 by Andreas Ebbert-Karroum

The Robot Framework is a very versatile tool and never confronted us with unsolvable problems so far. In some regards it still feels a little rough and needs some polishing, to make development and maintenance of automated tests more efficient. One of those areas is the integration into the well known development environment. There is the Robot IDE, but this only covers a fraction of my requirements. The following will show, how easily the Robot Framework and your own Java Keywords can be integrated in Maven and Eclipse.

JUG Cologne – 5th October – Slides on Eclipse RAP

6. October 2009 by Fabian Lange

Having a presentation slot at a Java User Group is always special. Its an audience who cares, or is there just for the buffet. No kidding, todays evening was great. Besides my talk on RAP for which i attach the slides, there were new insights on what purpose programming languages were made for: solving problems. Not problems we introduced with programming languages, but other problems like calculations. Andreas Schreiber showed that the scientists at DLR use many languages (which suit their use cases best) and how to integrate them with Java. Dr. Simon Wiest showed afterwards how you can utilize bear lamps (or lava lamps) to monitor your CI server and what can be done to speed builds up. The evening ended with discussions how we can utilize our Nabaztags for that better than just rotating the ears

Project Lombok – Cool, but too much Magic?

30. September 2009 by Fabian Lange

Andreas pointed me at a nice library, lombok. It enhances Java compilation so that classes need less clutter to work.

For me, the features are awesome. Just by adding @Data to a class, it will generate all the getters and setters, toString() and the hashCode() and equals() methods. This is pretty much as in groovy the magic accessors. I like that. Because I can focus on the important stuff, rather than scrolling through hundreds of clutter lines. I also like that nobody plays around with my getters and setters and introduces side effects. It also fits to agile process: Eliminate muda.

I really like @SneakyThrows because i hate the UnsupportedEncodingException whenever if specify “UTF-8″ which really never ever can happen (as long as the parameter passed into is a constant, not a dynamic param).

meet the experts – architecture | November-27-2009

18. September 2009 by Uwe Friedrichsen

This is the announcement of the meet the experts – architecture at November-27-2009.

Since the whole event including all talks will be held in german an english version of the announcement would probably not be very expedient. Thus I decided not to translate this announcement.

You can read the full version of the announcement if you switch the language to german (by clicking on the german flag in the upper left corner of this page).

Beyond that we will – of course – carry on providing an english version of our blog entries.

Testing JavaScript with JS Test Driver

9. September 2009 by Thomas Jaspers

Some days ago I checked the Google Testing Blog for some interesting new articles when I saw the article about Super Fast JS Testing. Well, basically I have to say “again” as I had read it already some time back, but had no time to really dig into it. But this week luckily I had and so I wanted to give it a try. I would like to emphasize that I am not really an expert in JavaScript, but the testing side of this really got me.

Masti, Co-Creator, Pair vs. Review, Agile Games – Agile 2009, Day 1

25. August 2009 by Andreas Ebbert-Karroum

Wow, the weekend and also the first day in Chicago are gone. Even before the conference started, I had the opportunity to meet many people whom I only knew from books and blogs. On Saturday night, shortly after arriving at the hotel, I met Scott Duncan (@softqual) and Bernd Schiffer (@berndschiffer) for a drink. We managed to arrange that over Twitter, very unique experience for me. We met in the BIG bar of Hyatt, with a splendid view over Chicago by night, and slowly warmed up for the conference.
