Talk Title: Hamcrest matchers in JUnit 4.4
Talk Abstract:
David will briefly show a nice new feature of JUnit 4.4, Hamcrest
matchers, in the hope of provoking some interesting discussions. It
provides useful error messages in the test report, and enables more
refactoring of duplicate code. It’s like a lambda, objectifying test
logic, but in Java. It’s also a fluent builder API.
Talk Biography:
David Beutel builds Java web apps at UH, and is always looking for ways
to do it better.
