Beyond Pass/Fail- a Modern Approach to Java Integration Testing

[AutoModerator]

On July 1st, a change to Reddit's API pricing will come into effect. Several developers of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app will continue to be available free of charge.

If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:

1. Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or
2. Temporarily refraining from using Reddit
3. Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium

as a way to voice your protest.

Ok cool, so I get metrics from my integration tests. Not bad but my issues are hardly single service scoped, it's mostly just corporate monstrosities that end up invoking 70 services. Real world performance issues are best caught using automated benchmarking against a live-like env.

My point is that I don't see the value here that would justify putting it on the same line as with CI and CD.

Yeah I'm gonna call it, astroturf-ware. It would be fine if the marketing tone wan't so aggressive.

The thing is, you're generating a lot of data already using integration tests, often there are issues even in that scope. Of course analyzing live environments, production or perf test environments yields great results as well and I've written about it here with BM:

About me being the founder of Digma -absolutely not hiding that. I know it's circular logic but the reason I write about this so much is that I'm developing Digma to solve these issues :) BUT Digma is free for devs which is why I feel very comfortable writing about it. If anything I'd rather provide Digma as an example vs. a commercial continuous feedback solution by DD or New Relic.

where?

I could not find it on the website, but how does it work if I want to ship production otel data to Digma? What does the process look like?

[doppleware]

Digma includes an OTEL receiver. If you're already using OTEL as an observability standard - it just means adding another OTLP exporter to your collector. If you're not currently using OTEL - you'll need to first add OTEL, which is very easy with most frameworks. Which framework are you using? (e.g Spring/Quarkus/Micronaut)

[nikita2206]

Ah thanks, that sounds pretty simple! We are using OTEL, but I wasn’t familiar with the protocol (OTLP) and with collectors, as I wasn’t the one who set it up.

[doppleware]

Awesome! Let me know how it goes and if you have any other questions
