Vert.x and JUnit Testing

My experience with unit testing with either JUnit or TestNG is limited. With Domino development, business logic is often tightly coupled to accessing the underlying database. That makes automated testing a challenge. Similarly, the development of OpenNTF Domino API has been typically focused on code that interacts with the Domino server and databases, again making automated testing challenging. Where data persistence and the database-layer API is the main focus of the development, creating mock classes doesn't really bring much benefit. So it was Watson Workspace Java SDK which was my main experience of JUnit testing. Unit tests make a lot of sense where the business logic is about managing REST service access, both inbound and outbound.

Domino on Docker - Some Learning Points

About a year ago I did a blog post on Domino on Docker, with the intention to follow it up on developing against that Domino Docker server via Notes Client and integrating with it from other Docker containers or outside of Docker. Unfortunately other things got in the way, and it then got put on hold pending the work Thomas Hampel and Daniel Nashed were doing on the IBM repository for Domino on Docker and Roberto Boccadoro's Domino on Docker guide posted on OpenNTF's wiki guides site.
