For those of you looking for a general introduction to and demo of contract testing with Pact-JVM and Pactflow, a discussion on some of the implementation challenges of CDCT and how bidirectional contracts can help, I did a talk on just that yesterday:

I just wanted to express my gratitude once more to the Pact(-Flow) team here. I ran a half day contract testing workshop at the expo:QA conference earlier this week, using Pact-JVM and PactFlow, and it was a massive success if I may say so myself. Lots of positive feedback on the tools and how to use them in a contract testing workflow. Next up: Canada in September! https://kwsqa.org/tq2023/schedule/presenters-day-1-workshops/

Hey! Join me and the LambdaTest team on September 25 as I talk about integration testing challenges, how contract testing, Pact and PactFlow can help address these and the different types of contract testing. More information and registration here: https://www.lambdatest.com/webinar/solving-the-integration-testing-puzzle-with-contract-testing See you there!

Not a talk or a conference per se, but starting next month I'll run free hands-on workshops once a month on several different topics, including a workshop on contract testing with Pact (JVM to start with) on December 11. For those of you just starting out, this might be a good opportunity to not just hear what contract testing is all about, but also to get a feel for what it takes to write consumer-driven and bidirectional contract tests in Java with Pact and Pactflow. More information, including a link to a blog post with the why, what and how, and a registration form can be found here: https://www.ontestautomation.com/free-public-workshops/ Feel free to share this with anyone you think might be interested. Oh, did I say it was free?

In other news, the recording from my talk earlier this week with the folks at LambdaTest is now available:
