In this session, we’ll address the missing link in Enterprise Java development: simple, easy integration testing.

Unit tests and mock objects will only take you so far; the only answer which truly ensures that all components are playing nicely is a comprehensive integration suite. Unfortunately, writing integration tests has historically involved manual setup of a heavy, cumbersome test harness. That’s time lost, but it doesn’t have to be anymore.

Here we’ll introduce Arquillian, a powerful container-oriented testing framework layered atop TestNG and JUnit. Arquillian manages your runtime, abstracting out deployment and allowing you to focus on real test logic. We’ll cover:

• Transparent container lifecycle management
• Declarative deployments
• Test Enrichment (Dependency injection intotests)
• In-container test execution

Attend this talk to learn how the simplified component model of Java EE can be applied to testable development.
