13. Java 8 – What is a Lambda?
Lambda expressions are anonymous methods
Arguments
person
Arrow Expression or {Statement}
->
person.getAge() > minimumAge
Example usage with new Iterable.forEach default method:
employees.forEach(e -> e.setSalary(e.getSalary() * 1.03));
The general syntax consists of an argument list, the arrow token ->, and a
body. The body can either be a single expression, or a statement block. In the
expression form, the body is simply evaluated and returned. In the block form,
the body is evaluated like a method body.
Benefits
Internal Iteration
Pass Behaviour not just Data
Fluent Pipelined Operations
Lazy Evaluation
Parallelization

14. Java 8 –Streams
A stream is a sequence of elements. Unlike a collection, it is not a
data structure that stores elements. Instead, a stream carries
values from a source, such as collection, through a pipeline.
int sum = widgets.stream()
.filter(w -> w.getColor() == RED)
.mapToInt(w -> w.getWeight())
.sum();
// Filter
// Map
// Collect
The operations filter, map, and forEach are aggregate operations.
Aggregate operations process elements from a stream, not directly
from a collection.
A pipeline is a sequence of stream operations, which in this
example is filter-map-sum. In addition, aggregate operations
typically accept lambda expressions as parameters, enabling you to
customize how they behave.

15. Java 8 – Lambda Stream Methods
public interface Stream<T> extends BaseStream<T, Stream<T>> {
/**
* Returns a stream consisting of the elements of this stream that match
* the given predicate.
*
* @param predicate a <a href="package-summary.html#NonInterference">
*
non-interfering, stateless</a> predicate to apply to
*
each element to determine if it should be included
* @return the new stream
*/
Stream<T> filter(Predicate<? super T> predicate);
/**
* Returns a stream consisting of the results of applying the given
* function to the elements of this stream.
*
* @param <R> The element type of the new stream
* @param mapper a <a href="package-summary.html#NonInterference">
*
non-interfering, stateless</a> function to apply to each
*
element
* @return the new stream
*/
<R> Stream<R> map(Function<? super T, ? extends R> mapper);
}

16. Lambda – Filtering / Mapping
Filtering
List<Person> eligibleVoters =
potentialVoters.
stream().
// Get the List of voters as a Stream
filter(p -> p.getAge() > legalAgeOfVoting). // Filter using Predicate
collect(Collectors.toList()); // Convert Stream Back to List
Mapping
return mixedCaseStrings.
stream().
// Get Stream from List
map(s -> s.toUpperCase()). // Convert Value
collect(Collectors.toList());
// Convert Back to List

17. Lambda – Method References
// Reference to a Static method
Arrays.asList("a", "b", "c").forEach(Printers::print)
// Reference to an method on an instance
public static void printPages(Document doc, int[] pageNumbers)
{
Arrays.stream(pageNumbers).
map(doc::getPageContent).
forEach(Printers::print);
}

48. Ten Tips for Unit Tests
•
•
Make the tests understandable
• Comments
• Expected Behaviour
• Diagnostics
•
Absolute Repeatability
• Must trust each test
•
Independent Tests only
• Must run in any order
• No dependencies
•
Diagnostics on Failure
• Message in assets
• Reference input data
• Record test environment info
• Make it simple to debug
•
•
Think Before Testing
• Input Data
• What is it called
• Expected Output
No hard coding environment
• Chained exceptions
• Use config files for portability
• Mock objects
• No databases
•
No Extraneous Output
• Too much output == confusion
• Slient test
• Use option/config to turn debug on
Small and Simple
• Use setup and teardown
• Separate test logic from setup to make it easier to debug
•
Test 1 thing only
• One scenario per test so its more obvious why it failed
• Enables faster debugging
•
Fast Tests only
• Run as often as possible
• Quick results
• Maintain quaility bar
• More likely that devs will run with every change

49. Stress Testing – Arquillian & JMeter
http://arquillian.org/
Arquillian brings the test to the runtime so you don’t have to
manage the runtime from the test (or the build). Arquillian eliminates
this burden by covering all aspects of test execution, which entails:
• Managing the lifecycle of the container (or containers)
• Bundling the test case, dependent classes and resources into a
ShrinkWrap archive (or archives) Executing the tests inside (or against)
the container
http://jmeter.apache.org/
Apache JMeter - may be used to test performance both on static and
dynamic resources (Files, Web dynamic languages - PHP, Java, ASP.NET,
etc. -, Java Objects, Data Bases and Queries, FTP Servers and more).
It can be used to simulate a heavy load on a server, group of servers,
network or object to test its strength or to analyze overall performance
under different load types. You can use it to make a graphical analysis of
performance or to test your server/script/object behavior under heavy
concurrent load.
