In most of my environments I reach in short time the requirement to have some kind of automation server. How cool would it be, to start this server as part of my local Virtual Development Server? And what if the result will be usable for a lot of other use cases too?
As I create my Virtual Development Servers I asked myself how can I easily test, that it is working? As I put now my servers into containers via docker-compose I searched for a test framework, which supports this out of the box. I heard a lot about TestContainers in the past and again at Javaland 2022 conference last week, so I want to test now, if this will help me.
I have presented last week on APEX Connect 2020 again. For all non DOAG members - you can find the german presentation on Slideshare too:
I have presented last week on DOAG 2019. For all non DOAG members - you can find the german presentation on Slideshare too:
We try to be agile in developing and merging our features into branches when they are ready for use.
I have presented last week on DOAG 2018 in Nuremberg. For all non DOAG members - you can find the german presentation on Slideshare too:
Today my presentation is confirmed: "Regulatorics: Offside is when the referee whistles". Maybe the German title will be better understood: "Regulatorik: Abseits ist, wenn der Schiedsrichter pfeift".
I have presented last week on DOAG 2017 in Nuremberg. For all non DOAG members - you can find the german presentation on Slideshare too:
Today my presentation is confirmed: "Therefore, whoever binds forever: automate your tests". Maybe the German title will be the better understood: "PL/SQL: Drum test-automatisiere, wer sich sich ewig bindet!"
Yes - I did it again and attend Javaland, conference in Phantasialand Brühl. It was not easy this year to concentrate on the sessions because of the hottest march of the last 100 years. But the quality of the sessions beats the weather. Maybe again my invest in reading the abstracts and filter the sessions before the conference has payed off.
Yesterday I attend the annual barcamp DEVCAMP of the DOAG development community. There are mostly developers with SQL, PL/SQL, Forms & Reports, ADF, JET background and some Java, Javascript and APEX developers too. And not to forget: 1 dba and some managers. Here is my summary.
We now try to automate the build of all needed images as soon as Oracle GitHub Sources changed or we need to build our Vagrant VirtualBox again from scratch.
For automation of all of my processes I need Jenkins in my development server. First I had installed Jenkins as Docker container via Vagrant Docker provider. But with this architecture it was very complicated to create docker images and run Docker containers on the Docker host, in this case my Vagrant Virtualbox. So for simplification I have decided to install Jenkins with the provisioning of the Vagrant Virtualbox via a shell provider in my Vagrantfile.
This year I have decided to give the Javaland conference a try. I’m not a java professional, but in the program was listed a lot of interesting testing presentations, so my company booked for me.
I have presented today on DOAG Development 2014 in Dusseldorf. For all non DOAG members - you can find the german presentation on Slideshare too:
If you speak german and you are interested in quality assurance for your ADF projects you should come and attend my presentation at DOAG Development on 06/04/2014 in Duesseldorf.
