FAIL
Painfully Slow Builds - Productivity Killer
Endless test runs constantly pull developers out of their flow, destroying motivation and causing expensive context switches.
FAIL
Flying Blind with AI Code - The AI Time Bomb
AI tools pump out code in record time, but without fast, automated checks, this turns into a ticking time bomb for production bugs.
WARN
The Flaky Test Frustration - False Security
Unreliable integration tests drive teams crazy with avoidable retry-loops, giving a false sense of security and wasting valuable time.
WARN
Review Bottlenecks - Exhausted Auditors
Developers are shifting from proud creators to exhausted code-auditors, spending hours untangling "almost right" AI code.
DEBT
Dropping DORA Metrics - Sinking Metrics
Instead of shipping features fast, teams are stepping on the brakes because they fear the next deployment.
DEBT
Maintenance Hell - Craftsmanship Decay
Code gets blindly approved because the test suite is too slow to provide immediate, reliable feedback.

The Solution
Fast Feedback: The Engine in the AI World
When AI generates code by the bucket, the bottleneck moves from writing it to verifying it. Fast feedback loops - automated testing and CI - are the protective engine that keep speed honest.
Backed by the DORA research
DORA's Core Model puts "Fast feedback" alongside fast flow and a climate for learning as a capability that predicts software delivery performance - which in turn predicts organizational performance and well-being.
Throughput is no longer the constraint - human time, attention, and QA capacity is. The fixed limit has become people, not code.
The hard problem now is designing environments, feedback loops, and control systems so agents can build and maintain complex, reliable software at scale.
Unattended agents parallelize the work, but only fast feedback keeps scarce developer attention from becoming the next bottleneck.

What tech leaders say
From the moment we engaged with PragmaTech, it was evident that their team was committed to delivering excellence. The implementation of their software has significantly enhanced our acceptance test suite, streamlining processes, and boosting efficiency. What used to be a cumbersome and time-consuming task has now become seamless and effortless, thanks to PragmaTech's innovative approach.
From course students & talk audiences
“As feedback, I really wanted to let you know that your courses are genuinely excellent. Very focused and hands-on, far more so than many of the other resources on the internet or YouTube that essentially stop at Hello World. I've been a Java and Spring developer for many years, and I learned a lot from you, especially about integration testing. Thank you so much for that! It really helps me in my daily work. ”
Oli
Course Student
TDD Course
“Honestly, it's the best course content on testing in general. Most importantly, it gives you the structure - how to navigate the testing field. Yet it still provides real-world examples. The content is absolutely awesome. A good investment of money and time. ”
Sergei Sukhoborov
Course Student

“The session was very insightful and easy to follow. Already 2 months later we've been able to cut test execution time in half! ”

Session at Entur
“Philip delivered an outstanding session in our Spring Boot CoP, breaking down testing concepts into clear, practical bites. His structured approach to unit, sliced, and integration testing resonated with us. The session sparked plenty of internal discussion and motivates dev teams to rethink parts of their testing strategy. A truly valuable talk. ”

Spring Boot CoP
“We had Philip as a guest in our Spring Boot Community of Practice, and his talk gave an excellent overview of the support the Spring Framework offers for the various types of tests. We'll use this as a starting point for further discussion, drawing on the very good material Philip provides. ”
Stefan Scheidt

Spring Boot CoP
“A very well-structured talk that gave our developers a solid overview of Spring Boot testing. Especially for less experienced colleagues, the introduction was very easy to follow and helped surface existing gaps and topics worth exploring more deeply. Thank you, Philip! ”

Internal Tech Talk
How working together looks.
Three things you can count on from day one.
Skin in the game
The Guarantee
Once we have the unvarnished baseline report, we agree on a target together - usually a 50% cut in build time. If we don't meet it, you pay nothing.
A handful at a time
The Exclusivity
We deliberately keep the client list short and work with only a handful of teams in parallel. Expect blazing-fast feedback, direct access, and zero queues.
The Bonus
The Autopilot Upgrade
You get a custom MCP-Server (or Skill) to make testing knowledge instantly accessible, plus optional monthly check-ins to ensure your DORA metrics never slip.

Challenge
An abstract integration test class wired with @DirtiesContext forced a fresh Spring context for every test, dragging every PR through a 26-minute build on GitHub Actions.
Solution
Removed @DirtiesContext, adjusted dozens of existing integration tests to share a single cached context, and streamlined data setup and cleanup so they no longer leak state. Rolled out in 3 weeks.
Result
Build time dropped from 26 to 12 minutes on GitHub Actions. A follow-up workshop handed the team the patterns and guardrails to keep those minutes from sneaking back in. Devs are shipping faster than ever.

Challenge
Resource-heavy integration tests with a test setup that wasn't parallel-friendly - the suite ran sequentially for 15 minutes on every push, killing the team's feedback loop.
Solution
Refactored the test setup to remove shared mutable state and enabled effective JUnit parallelization across the integration suite. Rolled out across the codebase in two weeks.
Result
Build time dropped from 15 minutes to a blazing-fast 3 minutes. Devs now get feedback in the duration of a coffee break.
