Putting Spring to the Test

Developer-driven tests are a critical element of any software project. And Spring offers unparalleled opportunity to write tests that keep your code in check.

In this session, we'll start by looking at how Spring's brand of loose coupling through dependency injection lends itself to test-friendly development. Once the basics of Spring testing are covered, we'll turn our attention to the other members of the Spring portfolio such as Spring Web Flow and Spring-DM to see how they encourage developer-driven testing.


About Craig Walls

Craig Walls has been professionally developing software for over 15 years (and longer than that for the pure geekiness of it). He is a senior engineer with SpringSource and is the author of Modular Java (published by Pragmatic Bookshelf) and Spring in Action and XDoclet in Action (both published by Manning). He's a zealous promoter of the Spring Framework, speaking frequently at local user groups and conferences and writing about Spring and OSGi on his blog. When he's not slinging code, Craig spends as much time as he can with his wife, two daughters, 4 birds and 2 dogs.
