From 30-Minute Builds to 3-Minute Feedback.
PragmaTech helps Java Spring Boot teams transform slow, fragile tests into fast, reliable feedback - so you can ship with confidence, not fear.
From Deployment Anxiety to Fearless Shipping
Most Spring Boot teams struggle with the same testing challenges. Sound familiar?
Slow, Brittle Tests
Your test suite has become the bottleneck, forcing developers to wait on slow builds or skip tests entirely. Instead of providing safety, it just gets in the way.
- ✗ Build times stretching to 20+ minutes
- ✗ Flaky tests that fail randomly
- ✗ Developers skipping tests to "save time"
Testing Confusion
Without a guiding strategy, every developer is left to guess, copying patterns without understanding them. The result is a confusing mix of tests that create complexity instead of clarity.
- ✗ Unclear when to use @SpringBootTest vs. @WebMvcTest
- ✗ Excessive mocking that hides real issues
- ✗ No strategy - just cargo cult copy-pasted patterns
Deployment Fear
This lack of trust culminates in deployment anxiety, where every release feels like a gamble. The fear of breaking production paralyzes innovation and refactoring.
- ✗ "Hope and pray" releases
- ✗ Bugs caught in production, not in CI
- ✗ Teams afraid to refactor or ship frequently
You don't need more tests.
You need the right tests, running fast, giving you confidence.
Fast, Reliable Feedback
Builds finish in minutes, not hours. Your test suite becomes a trusted safety net that enables speed.
- ✓ Builds within single-digit minutes
- ✓ Rock-solid test suites
- ✓ Developers trust the tests
Clear Testing Strategy
Your team has a shared playbook. They apply the right test patterns instinctively, focusing on value over volume.
- ✓ Know exactly which test type to use
- ✓ Minimal mocking, maximum value
- ✓ Consistent patterns across the team
Ship with Confidence
Shipping becomes routine, not a ceremony. You can refactor major components and deploy on a Friday, fearlessly.
- ✓ Deploy multiple times per day
- ✓ Catch issues before production
- ✓ Refactor fearlessly

What Workshop Participants Say
Hear from developers who have attended our hands-on testing workshops.
"The Spring Boot testing workshop at Spring IO 2025 was hands-on, focused, and immediately applicable to our daily work.
A great blend of practical insights and expert guidance."
"I am glad that I had a chance to attend Philip's workshop at Spring I/O this year.
The course material is very well structured and caters for wide variety of professionals from beginners to the advanced users of Spring Framework.
The workshop is centred around hands on lab assignments and the manner Philip presented material lead audience from the theoretical concepts to practical use of these concepts and eventually laid foundation to apply newly obtained knowledge in practice while working on lab assignments."
"Had a great time at the Testing Spring Boot Applications Demystified workshop! I learned a ton including new concepts like slice testing and test containers.
The in-depth explanations helped me finally understand tools I'd used without fully grasping, and I'm walking away with concrete ideas I will implement with my team.
I also really appreciated the philosophy that testing is not all about achieving a certain coverage threshold, but about having the confidence to release on a Friday afternoon."
