Training request: Agentic Testing for Spring Boot ([price])
Hi [Name], I'd like to expense a course: Agentic Testing for Spring Boot by PragmaTech (Philip Riecks), [price] one-time, invoice available. What it is A short course (~3 hours) plus a library of seven skill files - instruction files that Claude Code / Codex / Copilot load automatically - that make the agent write tests to a defined standard: unit, slice, integration, Testcontainers, e2e, and a reviewer that audits the suite. It includes the author's existing Spring Boot testing courses (15+ hours) and 12 months of updates to the skill files. Why now We're using coding agents on [project/team], and the volume of generated code has outgrown what we can review by hand. The test suite is the only review that scales. Right now [pick what's true: it's slow / it's flaky / the agent-generated tests don't catch real bugs / every developer sets the agent up differently]. What we get - One set of testing rules the agent follows for everyone on the team, checked into the repo - A suite that stays fast as it grows: context caching, parallel execution, container reuse are built into the rules - Less review time on generated tests, because they come out right the first time - I'll adapt the skills to our conventions and share them in [repo] - the whole team benefits from one seat Cost [price] once. Compared to [one day of a consultant / the hours we lose per week to a slow build / one incident from an untested change], it pays back quickly. Can I go ahead? Thanks, [Your name]
Tip: keep the email short. Managers approve faster when the cost, the reason, and the ask fit on one screen.
