Exploring Jakarta EE integration testing

on YouTube ↗54m

" summary

Compares four concrete ways to run Jakarta EE integration tests using a small loan-calculator app: Weld JUnit 5 spins up a CDI container and uses Mockito for fast, in-process tests; Arquillian assembles a WAR, runs tests in-server but needs heavy config and shows signs of low activity; Testcontainers plus MicroProfile (and a custom integration-testing layer) runs the app in Docker with WireMock for a mocked interest service and supports remote debugging; verdict: Testcontainers approach is most pragmatic for real-world stacks.
