- Introduction to Data-Driven Testing With JUnit 5: A Guide to Efficient and Scalable Testing
When discussing the history of software development, we can observe an increase in software complexity, characterized by more rules and conditions. When it comes to modern applications that rely heavily on databases, testing how the application interacts with its data becomes equally important. It is where data-driven testing plays a crucial role.
Data-driven testing helps increase software quality by enabling tests with multiple data sets, which means the same test runs multiple times with different data inputs. Automating these tests also ensures scalability and repeatability across your test suite, reducing human error, boosting productivity, saving time, and guaranteeing that the same mistake doesn't happen twice.
- How to Configure a Jenkins Job for a Maven Project
Jenkins is a widely used automation server that plays a big role in modern software development. It helps teams streamline their continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) processes by automating tasks like building, testing, and deploying applications.
One of the key strengths of Jenkins is its flexibility. It easily integrates with a wide range of tools and technologies, making it adaptable to different project needs.
- jBPM as AI Orchestration Platform
Disclaimer: The views expressed in this document reflect the author's subjective perspective on the current and potential capabilities of jBPM.
This text presents jBPM as a platform for orchestrating external AI-centric environments, such as Python, used for designing and running AI solutions. We will provide an overview of jBPM’s most relevant functionalities for AI orchestration and walk you through a practical example that demonstrates its effectiveness as an AI orchestration platform:
- How to Build an MCP Server With Java SDK
A previous article [Resource 1] described how an open-source PostgreSQL Model Context Protocol server can be plugged into an AI host and provide additional database context to the interacting LLM. Moreover, quite a few interesting insights on the considered data were inferred by the LLM when natural language prompts were written and responded to.
The current article uses the exact same database schema and does a similar experiment, the only significant difference being that the MCP Server is developed from scratch, using the available Java SDK, without involving any additional frameworks.
- Immutable Objects Using Record in Java
It is often useful to have objects that, once created, don't change their content. To see a complete description on how to build such class, you can read my previous article "Immutable Objects in Java".
Let’s imagine we want to build a PersonClass with two fields: firstName and lastName. To create immutable instances, this class must:
