It's so hard working with tests for a talk, when they are _supposed_ to fail. (I need a meta-test framework, maybe?)

Another interesting thing that happened when digging into #AssertJ for my talk is that I now have 3 issues to file, along with planned PRs for each of them.

I also have a renewed motivation to write more domain-specific custom asserts: they really make reading tests so much easier.

And that's a wrap for my talks at #KCDC2023!

Thanks to everyone who attended my #AssertJ and IntelliJ IDEA #Refactoring talks!

Slides and links to all the source code I showed (and refactored) will be up over the weekend.

One thing I love about doing major updates to my talks is the chance to explore and learn about the latest and greatest in tools and libraries.

Case in point, I've been a bit lazy in my tests, using #AssertJ methods that work, but aren't always as expressive or concise as some of the newer* ways to do things. That's the potential downside to using the same library for 12 years: if it ain't broke, why fix it?

I think folks will get a bunch of useful tidbits from my #KCDC2023 talk on AssertJ, even if you're already using it.

* New to me is anything in the last 5 years 😄.

@kenkousen This is why I’m doing a whole talk on #AssertJ at the Kansas City Development Conference next week! (And an hour won’t be enough)

Do you use AssertJ for #JUnit testing in #Java? I published a cheat sheet showing the differences between the various `contains` assertions on collections/iterables. More on the way.

What else would you want to know about AssertJ?
