Abstract:

Integration testing can be difficult and unreliable. Integration tests often require complex setup, access to remote resources, and specific test data, but for all this work integration tests are often flakey. Tests can fail because a remote system is down or over-utilized, test data has become stale, or any other of a number of reasons. Beyond the flakiness of integration tests, integration testing can also suffer from difficulty of reproducing edge case scenarios like system outages, wait times while teams responsible for remote systems complete their work, and the ability to run integration tests locally.

But what if it didn't have to be this way? During this presentation we will define and cover the goals and best practices of integration testing. We will then look at how the tools of TestContainers and Spring Cloud Contract not only make writing integration tests easier, but more portable, reliable, capable of reproducing complex scenarios, and how more value can be derived from tests in the form of documentation and local development aides.
I would do it myself, but it's a bit of a pain on mobile.

Wednesday, April 4, 2018 at 6:00:00 PM Stowers Institute 1000 E 50th St, Kansas City,

Please join us for an evening of looking at the exciting past month of PHP news and learning about interesting concepts and projects in PHP and software development.

Light refreshments will be provided. Join us to meet new people, discuss PHP, and learn something new.

Our Evening Meeting Format

We love Web Development and all things PHP. Our meetings are often a little free-formed, but we shoot for this schedule:

6:00pm - Mingling / Meet and Greet

6:15pm - Lightning Talk: Last Month in PHP

6:30pm - TBA

Your topic here? Contact us to speak (http://www.meetup.com/kcphpug/suggestion/)!

Rate the talks!

All Developers Welcome!

We understand Web Developers often come from all backgrounds, and many work in more languages than PHP. Whether you're curious and just starting out, dabble in PHP on the weekends, write custom PHP on a daily basis, work in a framework like Symfony, Zend Framework, Silex, Slim, Laravel, CakePHP or customize CMS products like WordPress, Drupal or Joomla; our goal is that you will find something new, useful and thought provoking.

Interested in giving a presentation to the group, or demoing something you're working on? Contact one of the organizers through Meetup or talk after a monthly meeting to sign up!
