Test smarter with property-based testing

Talk Description

Tired of seeing bugs in production caused by edge cases? This talk introduces Property-Based Testing (PBT) using JQwik—a powerful approach that flips the testing mindset. Instead of manually writing one-off examples and duplicating code, you’ll learn how to define properties that must always hold true and let the test generate hundreds of test cases for you.

We’ll explore how this style of testing uncovers hidden edge cases, reduces maintenance effort, and leads to more robust code. With real Java code examples, side-by-side comparisons with JUnit, and even a taste of how to use it with UI testing libraries (like Selenium, Playwright), this talk offers a practical, hands-on introduction to smarter testing.

If you’re a developer or tester writing tests in Java and want to increase confidence without increasing effort, this is for you.
