Poster Presentations at the Dutch Java Users Group J-Fall meeting
Posted by Erik Rozendaal in the early morning: November 18th, 2009
Besides organizing a Scala workshop at the J-Fall meeting we also presented five technical posters to serve as discussion points for anyone interested (or just walking by). Unlike traditional meeting sessions we could interact directly, somewhat similar to open space sessions.

JPA implementation patterns: Testing
Posted by Vincent Partington around lunchtime: July 11th, 2009
In the previous blog in the JPA implementation patterns series, I talked about the three default ways of mapping inheritance hierarchies using JPA. And introduced one non-standard but quite useful method. This week I will discuss various approaches to testing JPA code.
What to test?
The first question to ask is: what code do we want to test? Two kinds of objects are involved when we talk about JPA: domain objects and data access objects (DAO's). In theory your domain objects are not tied to JPA (they're POJO's, right?), so you can test their functionality without a JPA provider. Nothing interesting to discuss about that here. But in practice your domain objects will at least be annotated with JPA annotations and might also include some code to manage bidirectional associations (lazily), primary keys, or serialized objects. Now things are becoming more interesting...

Integration of Fixture and Selenium

Traditionally acceptance test was difficult to integrate with web. Now with combination of fitnesse and selenium you can do the integration easily.
Fitnesse – Selenium integration struggles
Posted by Cirilo Wortel around lunchtime: April 23rd, 2009
Recently I was challenged by a client to test a new web application in an Agile project. The team was new at working Agile and even more with working together with a functional tester, altogether this resulted in me getting very little development support from the team.
Because the lack of tooling and support I focussed my efforts on just recording test-scripts using Selenium IDE, hoping I would be able to reuse them once I got the development support I had been requesting. The plan was to integrate the pre-recorded scripts in a more extended test environment in a later stage of the project.
Using Groovy to keep your Maven and Fitnesse dependencies in sync
Posted by Erik Pragt around lunchtime: July 29th, 2008
The problem
What if you're working with Maven, where you've got all your dependencies nicely organised, and now you decide to use any other piece of 'classpath-aware' software, like Fitnesse. The chances are that you'll need to use the same classpath in Fitnesse as in Maven. A possible solution could be to maintain it by hand, but why not write a very small script for it to do it for you? My (very very very!) basic solution is to use a Groovy, because it's easy to write, easy to read, and easy to use!
