Test-Driven Development with Java - Create higher-quality software by writing tests first with SOLID and hexagonal architecture

Alan Mellor

Sinossi

Test-driven development enables developers to craft well-designed code and prevent defects. It’s a simple yet powerful tool that helps you focus on your code design, while automatically checking that your code works correctly. Mastering TDD will enable you to effectively utilize design patterns and become a proficient software architect.
The book begins by explaining the basics of good code and bad code, bursting common myths, and why Test-driven development is crucial. You’ll then gradually move toward building a sample application using TDD, where you’ll apply the two key rhythms -- red, green, refactor and arrange, act, assert. Next, you’ll learn how to bring external systems such as databases under control by using dependency inversion and test doubles. As you advance, you’ll delve into advanced design techniques such as SOLID patterns, refactoring, and hexagonal architecture. You’ll also balance your use of fast, repeatable unit tests against integration tests using the test pyramid as a guide. The concluding chapters will show you how to implement TDD in real-world use cases and scenarios and develop a modern REST microservice backed by a Postgres database in Java 17.
By the end of this book, you’ll be thinking differently about how you design code for simplicity and how correctness can be baked in as you go.

Unlocking Herbal Antivirals - A...

Helen Brooks

The groundbreaking book "Unlocking Herbal Antivirals: A Comprehensive Guide to Natural Immune Booster" explores the field of herbal medicine in great detail, emphasizing how effective it is at treating viral infections. This book, written by Helena Brooks, bridges the gap between conventional wisdom and contemporary research to give readers a thorough grasp of herbal antivirals and how they support the body's natural defenses.  
The book starts by explaining the basics of viral infections and going into how viruses enter the body and get past the immune system. Through a combination of historical narratives and modern research, the book vividly depicts humanity's long-standing attempt to use plants' medicinal properties to combat viral infections.  
The book's foundation is an extensive analysis of a broad range of plants recognized for their antiviral properties. Every herb is carefully documented, including information on its traditional applications, botanical traits, and scientific backing for its antiviral properties. Astragalus and licorice root are two lesser-known but equally valuable herbal allies in the fight against viral viruses, as the reader is introduced to a veritable gold mine of plant allies.  
"Unlocking Herbal Antivirals" stands out due to its focus on herbal treatment, supported by evidence. The author painstakingly sorts through the enormous amount of material, condensing intricate scientific conclusions into understandable ideas for readers of all stripes. Making informed judgments about their health is made possible by the book's use of case studies, clinical data, and expert interviews to provide readers with a balanced evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of herbal antivirals.
