How to Save Time by Writing Less Test Code
Video Course: 110 lessons
Are you tired of writing tests that slow you down?
I think that too many developers are suffering from the effects of bad tests. If you are reading this page, the odds are that you are one of them. If this is the case, you are most likely suffering from some (or all) of these problems:
These problems have two consequences:
First, no one wants to make changes to existing code because updating the existing tests is too painful and takes too much time.
Second, developers are less likely to write tests for new code because they think that writing them is a waste of time.
Is this a bad situation? Well, maybe not. It's true that sometimes writing tests is not worth it. However, if you are frustrated with your current situation and you want to get different results, you have to do something different.
If you are struggling to write good tests, you are not alone
It's not easy to write good tests. It's a skill that requires years of work and often involves at least a few costly mistakes. To make matters worse, you are working in a constantly changing environment that doesn't necessarily appreciate (or support) your efforts to learn this skill.
The Test With Spring course helps you to overcome these obstacles and frees you to enjoy from these three benefits:
- 1SAVE TIME AND MONEY BY WRITING LESS TEST CODE
It's quite common that you don't have time to write automated tests because your manager pressures you to write new features. Nevertheless, if you select the right test cases and write your tests on the right level, you can write less test code without sacrificing your test coverage. - 2WRITE TESTS THAT EMBRACE CHANGE
If your requirements are changing constantly and your existing tests make this change harder, you can still build a better tomorrow. If you use the right techniques, you can write tests that don't tie your hands and slow you down when you make changes to your code. - 3MINIMIZE THE PAIN CAUSED BY INTEGRATION AND END-TO-END TESTS
Often developers aren't writing integration and end-to-end tests because they think that writing them is too complicated and / or creating stable test data that doesn't require a lot of maintenance is too hard. I am not going to lie to you. Writing these tests takes more work than writing unit tests, but you can use tools and techniques that minimize this overhead.

About the Author
My name is Petri Kainulainen, and I am specialized in automated testing and software development with the Spring Framework. I have also written a book about Spring Data, and I write a popular Java blog that has attracted over 1,9 million visitors in 2017.
Six years ago I wrote a lot of automated tests. My goal was to write clean tests, but I didn't understand what I should do. Thus, I ended up writing a lot of tests on autopilot. This lead into a maintenance nightmare.
I had a lot of automated tests, but I didn't have time to feel proud of myself because I was too busy fixing my existing tests. I tried to solve my problems by working harder, but after a while I had to admit that it wasn't working.
I realized that my problem wasn't lack of effort. It was lack of time, and I couldn't solve this problem by working harder because time is a very limited resource. That's why I had to find a way to work smarter.
I have spend the last six years improving my testing skills. I have written countless test cases, and I have also rewritten many of them after I learned a better way of doing things.
Now I want to share my findings with you.
I use your blog as a reference
Thank you for the awesome Spring MVC unit testing tutorials. I use your blog as a reference whenever I get lost in configuration.
What You'll Get
Almost all lessons have a video. This video concentrates on writing code, and it demonstrates how you can achieve the goals of the lesson.
All lessons have an article that contains the same information as the video, and it also provides links to other resources that can be used for further study.
Every lesson includes an example application that contains the source code written during the lesson. You can get these examples from Github.
What My Students Are Saying...
I really enjoyed the course
At first I hesitated to buy this course because it was a bit expensive and I wasn't sure if I have time to finish it.
However, after I purchased the starter package of the Test With Spring course, I noticed that it offers both high quality blog format as well as video presentations. The course material is well-written and the course describes techniques that can easily applied.
The only downside is that the video voice presentation style could be a bit more engaging. It feels a little flat sometimes.
Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the course and would recommend the course because it describes a ton of practical techniques that can be easily adopted. Also, the curated links provide great starting points for further study.
I could and can benefit from information and examples provided at this course
It was an easy to decision to buy the master package because the Test With Spring course has a 30 day money back guarantee that allowed me to to check whether it fits my needs, wishes, and requirements.
This course is a real systematic, complete and deep trail through testing topics for Java. The course provides a good balance between information, presenter examples and possibilities for the students to jump deeper in special topics.
I would recommend this course because I could and can benefit from information and examples provided at this course.
The master package is a good in depth course
The master package is a good in depth course with everything from the basics of unit tests to integration tests, and how to build/separate integration and unit tests. It provides in depth details and links to other articles that provide even more information.
I recommend this course to anyone who is interested to learn more about testing using Spring MVC. I haven't run across any other resource that has as much information in the topic.
