Hard assertions = fast feedback ✅
But when one failure hides others, you lose valuable insight. 😥

Here’s how to use custom soft assertions with AssertJ to make your tests graceful, readable, and thorough:

No @devoxx.com for me this year 😭 but I'm not (that) sad because I know it's very competitive and the best of the best talks will be in the event.

Want cleaner, more expressive tests in Java?

✅ Avoid endless try-catch
✅ Group failures with elegance
✅ Use AssertJ the right way

Soft assertions can raise your testing game without clutter.

Testing Architecture isn’t just about big decisions — it’s about repeatable, proven patterns.

I shared 3 design patterns to guide architectural decisions, like BaseTest, Fluent Interface, Factory, Data Generation, and more.

No, because if I have a library that is feature complete, this would force me to create a release per year, because people will think the library is outdated. One of my customers uses that to force his customers to update to the newest version.

I like CalVer whenever versions become a point of discussion; it's hard to argue to continue to use 2019.08 today, whereas 1.5 hides that nuance of using outdated technology.

Breaking changes with SemVer are a solved problem when you use the right technology! ;)

Elias Nogueira 🇧🇷🇳🇱 @eliasnogueira.com · Jul 30

Today I heard from a coworker that SemVer is old and outdated and CalVer should be used because is more modern.

What do you think: is SemVer really outdated and has no value anymore?
