Testing Vaadin Applications
Made Easy

Modern web applications require robust and efficient testing methods to ensure reliability and user satisfaction. However, testing web applications can be challenging. This talk will use real-world examples to demonstrate how to perform UI Unit and End-to-End testing using Karibu Testing and TestBench. The lecture addresses the clarification of the differences between these two testing methods and provides insights into selecting the appropriate method for specific scenarios. In addition, we examine the use of Testcontainers for running test databases and measuring code coverage with JaCoCo.
