Test Driven Documentation with Spring Rest Docs
During this talk Roman will give a detailed overview of Spring Rest Docs as well as demonstrate practical usages of it within a Spring Boot app with live coding. We will discuss the tradeoffs that developer has if s/he uses swagger as base framework and what benefits spring rest docs provides. Also, Roman will advise how to migrate your existing swagger’s project documentation into asciidoc format, extend it with tests and start using Spring Rest Docs.
After this session you will be ready to apply Spring Rest Docs at any project – a new one from the scratch or on existing one.
Spring Rest Docs has provided robust, flexible approach that is called Test Driven Documentation. It extends well known Red-Green-Refactoring from TDD with additional phase of building documentation on the fly.
This approach aligns 3 main components in your project – code base, integration tests and documentation and you are absolutely sure that your documentation is always up to date because it is generated from your tests. Furthermore it supports HATEOAS and provides lots of new features that are not available in Swagger.
