Unit testing is fine, but without proper integration testing, especially if you work with external resources like databases and other services, you might not know how your application will actually behave once it has been deployed to the real production environment.
Before Docker, configuring the environment for integration testing was painful – people were using fake database implementations, mocking servers, usually it was not cross-platform as well. However, thanks to Docker, now we can quickly prepare the environment for our tests.

Q&A
WHAT YOU NEED BEFORE WE START:
1
General experience in using the following technologies is expected. Participants can tag along if they don't know all the details, but some topics might get too complex if they are missing the basics:
- Java
- Docker basics
- JUnit 4
- Spring-Boot basics are helpful.

2
As this is a hands-on workshop, it is essential that you bring a prepared workstation, containing the following software:
- at least JDK 8
- IDE of choice (IntelliJ IDEA recommended)
- Docker CE 19.x

Important: Please prepare the environment & install Docker before the workshop!
We can guarantee that it will work on the following environments:
- Any Linux with native and up to date Docker installation. The user needs Docker permissions.
- macOS with Docker Desktop for Mac
- Windows 10 with Docker Desktop for Windows (WSL2 or Hyper-V backend)

WHAT YOU LEARN
In this workshop, I would like to show how you can use Testcontainers
(https://github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-java ) – a popular Java testing library that harnesses Docker to easily, reliably, spin up test dependencies.
We will use it with a Spring Boot microservice and test against real PostgreSQL and Redis data stores, we’ll isolate it from other microservices, then start Selenium browsers in Docker and test our application, and all with the same library!
Come and learn why Apache, Spring, ZeroTurnaround, JetBrains, Playtika, Zipkin and others already decided to use Testcontainers for their integration testing needs!

COURSE BENEFITS:
-You will be able to upgrade your Java skills with the latest version which means you are no longer fall behind
You will be able to write clear and concise code with the lambda expression which means less chance to produce bugs
You will be able to write declarative and expressive code easily which means less code but more results
You will learn how to refactor old legacy and imperative code with modern functional programming which means less error in your code
You will be able to process large data set in parallel which means a faster result
