Confidence In Every Commit: Essentials (1 Day)

Achieve confidence in every commit. Stop fighting your test suite and start mastering it.

Most Spring Boot test suites are either too slow to be useful or too shallow to provide real confidence. This intensive 1-day remote workshop is designed for experienced Java developers who want to bridge the gap between "writing tests" and "architecting a high-performance testing strategy."

Using the cutting-edge stack of Java 25, Spring Boot 4, and JUnit 6, we will move beyond the basics of Mockito and dive into the patterns used by top-tier engineering teams to maintain lightning-fast, reliable builds.

Core Learning Modules

Block 1: Foundations & The Testing Pyramid 2.0 – Moving beyond "coverage" to "confidence."
Block 2: Sliced Contexts & Unit Testing – Mastery of , and avoiding the "ApplicationContext Bloat."
Block 3: Real-World Integration Testing – Advanced Testcontainers patterns, handling external APIs, and state management.
Block 4: Performance & Strategy – Context caching, parallel execution, and patterns for sub-5-minute builds.
Block 5: Live Q&A & Implementation – Direct feedback on your specific architectural hurdles.
