Had a great first day at #GoTechWorld in #Bucharest with a great talk about #GithubActions! The Speaker/exhibitor party afterwards was also a great moment to meet new people. As we should… we ended up in the bar of our hotel for a good closure!

Last week, I elaborated on requirements. But to create good software solutions, developers also need good Acceptance Criteria!
Read about the rules for acceptance criteria here: www.canva.com/design/DAG2D...

I'll dive into different types of unit tests, using other definitions of the concept of a unit. I will demonstrate the power of sociable testing during a live demo, where I will also introduce #UnitSocializer to the Romanian developer community.

Next week I'll be attending the #GoTechWorld conference in #Bucharest. Here I'll be speaking about how you can easily improve your unit tests.
If you're also there, you're welcome to come and find me for a quick chat and a cup of coffee!

Am I missing something? Let's talk!
Requirements are not the only crucial part of a user story. A user story is not complete unless it contains good acceptance criteria. Want to know more about this? Follow me for more!
I've listed some crucial details here: www.canva.com/design/DAG2D...
03.11.2025 13:55 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Software developers are great at solving problems! However, they need to know exactly what problems they should solve. To do our job, we need good user stories of which requirements are the core! What are #requirements? Link to more details in the comments!

For #java developers, I have some great news! I started an #OpenSource project called #UnitSocializer. This helps you write sociable unit tests, while reducing the complexity in the setup!
Check it out here: wouter-bauweraerts.github.io/UnitSocializ...
Now I know. Sociable tests can become complex in large projects. Especially the setup!
But, I truly believe that it is worth the effort!
Your tests will be able to validate that you didn't break anything during the refactoring process. You might have some compilation errors, but that's all!
Sociable tests accept dependencies. Limited to what is within your control and what can be done without spinning up an application context. So you will mock your interactions with external systems. By doing so, you will focus on testing the behavior.

Why don't you try #sociableTesting?

You can’t attend an @rotterdamjug.bsky.social meetup without making a detour to enjoy this beautiful bridge by night
28.10.2025 21:47 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Just had the opportunity to present how you can easily write robust unit tests. Tests that help you change your code with confidence, without fear of breaking things.
Thanks @rotterdamjug.bsky.social and @royvanrijn.com for having me!
Tomorrow I'll be presenting at the RotterdamJUG meetup!
I prepared an inspiring session about how you can improve your unit tests, making them less fragile when you make changes or refactor your code!
I hope to see you there! Check the meetup event for more details! www.meetup.com/rotterdamjug...
🚀 BeJUG is back in Ghent this November!
Big thank you to Inetum (www.inetum.com/en/belgium) for hosting us!
Speakers are @frankdelporte.be and @wbauweraerts.bsky.social. Looking forward to what they have to share!

Dealing with legacy code is inevitable code. Sometimes it's well-structured, but often it's poor quality, like spaghetti, with testing gaps. When refactoring legacy, apply "Golden Master" or "Lift Up Conditional" to increase confidence in maintenance. #softwareDevelopment #legacy #quality

No major changes in the fixture builder concept, just had to do some version updates!
Support for Java 25 (LTS) is on it's way!
