Catnippers Social Club Projects Overview (Summer 2021)

Watch on YouTube

At the beginning of the September 2021 I've launched Catnippers Social Club. To put it shortly - it's an Open Source Software community focused on learning together and sharing knowledge. I've realized that there is no enough time to develop everything by myself, so after developing Ultimate Stack Developer application (micro-blog platform based on Spring Framework & Angular) for half a year, I've decided to open the source code and invite some people and work on it together. In the meantime I've been able to create some other small projects (mostly as a side-products of the Ultimate Stack Developer app development), so that Catnippers' portfolio now consists of three different projects developed by four developers, one tester, one UX/UI designer and myself performing as a Project Manager.

Selenium to Selenide Tutorial

Watch on YouTube

Selenium is a great testing tool, no doubt. Nevertheless, it has quite complex infrastructure in comparison to other automated frameworks (e.g., Cypress). Once I've learned about Selenide I was hooked on a spot. It is concise, and focuses more on tests per se, instead of configuring whole Selenium architecture. Don't get me wrong though, I really appreciate Selenium as it fully utilises WebDriver, with the entire Java (or C#/Python) eco-system, and all the features it provides (e.g., JDBC connectors for SQL data verification). But, if you'd like to write simple End-to-End tests with ease and stick with the Java, C# or Python - Selenide is a no-brainer.
