Spring Boot API Testing: A Practical Guide for Enterprise Teams

Enterprise Spring Boot APIs should be tested at three levels: unit tests for business logic, integration tests for external service behavior, and traffic replay for production edge cases. Most teams only do the first. This guide shows all three using a real Spring Boot application that calls external APIs (SpaceX, US Treasury) with JWT authentication. The kind of service that looks simple in development and breaks in production.

JRebel and XRebel: The Ultimate Power Duo for Java Development and Performance

Every minute spent waiting for your IDE to build, package, and redeploy code is a minute taken away from what matters most: writing better code. JRebel and XRebel give Java developers the power to eliminate redeploy wait times and catch performance bottlenecks in real-time — so your team can focus on shipping high-quality features faster.

Oracle JDK to OpenJDK: A Guide to Reliable Migration Testing

One of the most common infrastructure changes Java developers and operators are dealing with today is the migration from Oracle Java to OpenJDK. The reason is the licensing changes made by Oracle and the maturity of the OpenJDK distributions. The migration process is quite simple: replace the JDK, recompile the code, and redeploy the application. However, the differences between the two runtimes can lead to unexpected issues that are not caught by unit tests.

4 Steps to Take Back Control of Your Java Release Cycle and Manage Dependencies Better

Regaining control of your Java release cycle can dramatically improve build stability, security, and developer productivity. In this video, Perforce OpenLogic experts share practical guidance on Java dependency management, including how to audit dependencies, govern their use, and reduce risk in complex builds.

Navigating Spring Dependencies (Spring Boot and Framework)

Navigating Spring dependencies can be challenging. As many Java developers know all too well, the biggest risk in maintaining legacy Spring applications isn’t in the code you wrote — it’s in the web of dependencies you inherited. Hidden deep in your build files, these libraries can make or break your application’s ability to stay secure and up to date. In this video, OpenLogic experts explain how transitive dependencies in older versions of Spring Boot and Spring Framework can negatively impact your application's stability and security.

How to select date from Datepicker in Selenium WebDriver with Java?

Selecting a date from a calendar widget is one of the most common tasks in UI automation. And yet, it often turns into a tricky challenge, especially when the datepicker behaves differently on each site. Sometimes it's a jQuery calendar, sometimes it's a custom airline-style picker, and in many cases, it doesn't respond well to direct input. If you've ever wrestled with a flaky test just to select one simple date, you're not alone.

How to Resolve InvocationTargetException in Java

InvocationTargetException is a confusing error message that Java developers often encounter. The good news? It's not the real problem - it's just Java's way of saying "something went wrong inside a method I tried to run for you." Think of it like a delivery person telling you "I couldn't deliver your package because there was a problem at the destination." The InvocationTargetException is the delivery person's message, but the real issue is what happened at the destination (inside your actual method).
