Behavior Driven Development with the Spock Specification Framework

A brief introduction to Behavior Driven Development (BDD) and use of the Spock Specification Framework to achieve BDD. This presentation will provide a solid starting point for building BDD specifications in Spock and provide direction in which expand your knowledge of BDD as you delve into the Spock eco system.

• Overview of what BDD is and how it differs from Automated Testing
• Building a Specification with Spock from the ground up to achieve BDD
• Using Spock’s built in Mocking framework to mock data and test interactions
• Data Driven Testing using Spock’s Data Tables and Data Pipes
• Brief Introduction to Properties Based Testing and use of Spock Genesis for data generation
• How to utilize Specifications as Documentation
• Other odds and ends of the Spock Framework

Jamie L. Smyth

Through the course of nearly 20 years in professional software development, Jamie has promoted many rising paradigms that are in common practice today, including the use of Asynchronous Communication, Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State, Test Driven Development, and many others. Currently Jamie is brining Continuous Delivery and Deployment Automation to BodyBuilding.com and Behavior Driven Development and Automated Testing are key components of this strategy. Jamie lives by the mantra that software should be a pleasure to use and create.

Join us for pizza at 6 and the presentation will start at 6:30.

Glowroot: Open source Java APM

Trask Stalnaker, author of Glowroot, will discuss how it has evolved over the past 5 years from a couple AspectJ pointcuts and a flat text file, to a full Java APM tool with tracing, profiling, timers, gauges, percentiles, historical rollups, error capture, sql capture, alerting, plugin architecture, agent API and more.

Speaker

Discoveries in microbenchmarking with JMH

Microbenchmarking is fraught with peril. Method inlining. Dead code elimination. Constant folding. False sharing. Loop unrolling. Bimorphic and megamorhpic call sites. This talk explores these fantastic mysteries using JMH, the excellent microbenchmark harness from Oracle developed under the OpenJDK project.

Hyped for Hyperfit

Bodybuilding.com just spent the last year moving their commerce platform to a RESTful architecture, centered around the new Commerce Hyper API that drives the Mobile Native App experiences. A few interesting artifacts were created during this endeavor, some which will be open sourced in the coming months. One of these, Hyperfit, is library for consuming the resources & hypermedia controls of RESTful Applications & Hypermedia APIs inspired by Retrofit. The session will consist of two parts:

• An overview on RESTful Application Architecture
• Some coding with Hyperfit to consume & navigate a selection of Hypermedia APIs

Speaker

Chris DaMour has been with Bodybuilding.com for over a year as lead architect on the Commerce Hypermedia API. @drdamour / https://github.com/drdamour

Lightning Talks

Dynamic scalability using AWS Lambda

How does Bodybuilding.com handle spikes in image upload traffic? Instead of attempting to predict load and have resources available for peak load, we are moving to the AWS Lambda service in order to dynamically scale our image processing functions. This will allow us to meet peak load and to reduce cost.
