Write Tests That Spark Flow
summary
Shows how to test Java microservices with Quarkus, Docker, Kubernetes, WireMock, JUnit and Mockito by splitting fast local dev feedback from slower CI runs, keeping a running dev environment for sub-second hot-reloads, and mocking the barista with WireMock for verifiable async status updates. Advocates separate test lifecycles (unit/use-case tests in-code; system tests against a running cluster) and delegate test abstractions to avoid copy‑paste, reduce brittle tests, and keep feedback under a few seconds.
