DESCRIPTION:### Testing REST: Functional Correctness At Scale Using AKKA 
 and REST Assured&#13\;\nThis month's speaker is Steve Hall who has 20 ye
 ars of experience designing and delivering unique solutions to business 
 problems. Steve is a Lead Software Engineer working with REST\, big data
  and social solutions at Nike in Beaverton\, OR. &#13\;\n&#13\;\nHis cur
 rent project enables millions of users on mobile devices to follow and j
 ust as easily stop following any digital content that may be of interest
  to them. The team has found that building these systems using REST and 
 NOSQL can scale massively. However\, achieving that scale requires some 
 unique approaches for handling the volumes of data that needs to be stor
 ed. Tonight he will present an overview of what the team has learned abo
 ut data modeling in a typical NOSQL datastore such as Cassandra or Dynam
 o. Following that he will discuss why traditional unit\, integration\, a
 nd performance testing approaches proved to be inadequate\, and why the 
 team went looking for a better solution. &#13\;\n&#13\;\nHaving presente
 d the problem\, he will then present how the team has applied AKKA and R
 est Assured to create a testing framework that proves the system is func
 tionally correct at scale\, and why it matters. &#13\;\n&#13\;\nFinally\
 , he will close with a few insights for other ways that AKKA could be us
 eful when working at large scale.\n\nTags: java\, akka\, rest\n\nImporte
