Run your Unit Tests in Parallel


It was about time when the developer of Unit Tests had the ability to run the tests in Parallel using annotations. In today's blog post, we will look at how you can make your traditional Junit Tests to run in parallel using annotations provided by Easytest. EasyTest is a Testing Framework build on top of JUnit to provide you ease of writing and maintaining your tests. It is focused on writing Data Driven Tests for your application.


Lets start by assuming a Class ItemService  that has a method 2 methods :
1) getItems that takes 2 arguments Double itemId and String itemType. The API class is described below.
2)    updateItem that takes an Item instance and updates it in the Database.

public class ItemService {

   public List getItems (Double itemId , String itemType);

   public void updateItem (Item item);

}

We will leave out the implementation for the sake of keeping the example simple.

Lets see the step by step approach of writing Parallel Unit Tests.

Release: Appengine 1.8.2


Вийшла нова версія Google App Engine 
З новинок появилась підтримка PHP, а також підтримка Eclipse WTP і модульності, що потенційно спростить розробку аплікацій під екліпсом
Думаю також багатьом буде цікава підтримка git
Більше про новий реліз можна почитати тут
Як зразок аплікації запущеної на апенжіні можна подивитись на систему реєстрації на #JDayLviv

Java’s Reflection API


If you have ever asked yourself questions like these:
– “How do I invoke a method, having only its name in a String?”
- “How do I list all the attributes in a class dynamically?”
- “How do I write a method that resets the state of any given object to default values?”
Then you have probably already heared of Java’s Reflection API, and in case you haven’t, this is a good opportunity to see what it’s all about, and what it can be used for. This feature is really powerful, but as always, has to be used with some good judgement.
