About the Talk
Most of the developers create different unit tests to validate some part of the code and increment the percentage of code coverage. Everything looks great at the beginning but when someone introduces changes in the code and the test continues working well the problems appear.
Mutation testing is a great way to validate what happens when you dynamically introduce different modifications in your code and see what happens with the result. If the test continues showing that everything it’s okay, your code has some problem.
Pitest is a great tool that provides the developer the possibility to know the quality of their test. This tool offers the possibility to see different types of reports and integrate with some quality tools like Sonar.
Key Takeaways:
Andres Sacco has been working as a developer since 2007 in different languages, including Java, PHP, NodeJs, Scala, and Kotlin. Most of his background is in Java and the libraries or frameworks associated with this language. In most of the companies he worked for, he researched new technologies to improve the performance, stability, and quality of the applications of each company.
In 2017 he started to find new ways to optimize the transference of data between applications to reduce the cost of infrastructure. He suggested some actions, some of them applicable in all the manual microservices and others in just a few. All this work concludes with the creation of a series of theoric-practical projects, which are available on the page Manning.com Recently he published a book on Apress about the last version of Scala.
Also, he published a set of theoric-practical projects about uncommon ways of testing like architecture tests and chaos engineering. He dictated internal courses to different audiences like developers, business analysts, and commercial people. Also, he participates as a Technical Reviewer on the books of the editorials: Manning, Apress, and Packt.
