Generating data with Mockneat

At some point every developer comes to the point where he needs larger amounts of data. One OpenSource library I like to use is Mockneat. The Mockneat library offers an easy to read API to generate Json, XML, CSV, SQL and whole POJO’s. The nice thing about it is that you can generate valid data with little effort.

    Spock Testing-Framework

    First of all Spock and JUnit are both great test frameworks, usually JUnit is one of my standard tools that I unpack in a project. In my last project, a colleague had thrown Spock into the room and we decided to try it out in one of our microservices and roll it out completely if we liked it, which we finally did. You can find all examples here on Github, of course.

      Licecap for better bug tickets

      How to record screen videos with Licecap and create better bug tickets.

Licecap is very simple because it has only 2 buttons. One to start the recording and one to stop it. I have seen a similar tool in a Sprint Review by a colleague today and will use Licecap to create bug tickets, because a video is often much more meaningful than text that stands alone.

        Node.js and NPM behind an enterprise proxy

        For those who, like me, sometimes have to access the Internet via a proxy, the use of Nodes Package Manager NPM can be a real struggle. At first I thought that the proxy can be configured as usual in the Linux world via the environment variables HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY. Unfortunately I thought wrong… This is how NPM needs to be configured: npm config set proxy http://proxy.de:8080 npm config set https-proxy http://proxy.

          Gitlab CI Debugging

          I would like to show you how to debug a CI process locally using Gitlab CI. I often see a firework of failed Gitlab CI tests when creating new projects. Even it’s very easy to test the CI process locally before pushing it into the repo. First of all it requires docker to be installed, you can find it here. You also need a GIT project and the corresponding .gitlab-ci.yml which defines your CI process.
