That’s a great course that give to the students much more than theory.


You explain very well, your content is easy to understand and every exercise let students comprehend better.


You have a good idea suggesting at the end of every module a challenge to let students put all theory + examples in practice.


I’ll recommend your courses for my colleagues and developers which I support at my company.

Highly recommended course about the foundations of Spring Boot testing, covering topics like: reducing integration tests boot time with test slices, testing the web layer, testing database layer with testcontainers, testing integration with third party apis, end to end testing with selenide, etc.

Concise, well explained and mostly practical.

TESTIMONIAL VIA A COMMENT

This course made me understand the concept and importance of testing software.


It showed me how to use the right tools (Testcontainers, Selenide, etc.) to get good test coverage for Spring Boot applications.


I especially liked that Philip explained the concept with a simple vocabulary and easy-to-follow examples.

Our journey of getting rid of @DirtiesContext on top of an abstract test class (aka. the "broken window") that made reusing the Spring TestContext impossible and resulted in ever-growing build times.


After fixing this "broken window", our overall build time went down by 50% from 25 to 12 minutes.
