Learning Modular Java Programming

By: Tejaswini Mandar Jog

Overview of this book

Modular programming means dividing an application into small parts and then developing it. It is an approach taken by developers to build applications and helps them add efficiency in their development process, thus making it more effective. The book starts with the fundamentals of Modular Programming. Then we move on to the actual implementation, where we teach developers how to divide an application into different modules or layers (such as presentation, execution, security, lifecycle, services, and so on) for better management. Once readers are well-versed in these modules and their development, the book shows how to create bindings in order to join these different modules and form a complete application. Next, the readers will learn how to manage these modules through dependency injection. Later, we move on to testing; readers will learn how to test the different modules of an application. The book ends by teaching readers how to maintain different versions of their application and how to modify it. By the end of the book, readers will have a good understanding of modular programming and will be able to use it to build applications with Java.

Summary


Application development is a lengthy and time-consuming process. In each step, there are multiple loopholes where there is a chance of making mistakes. All such mistakes will club together to make a blunder. If this got caught at the end when the final product testing is carried out, it's of no use and the developers will run short of time for development. In this chapter, we discussed various steps such as unit testing, integration testing, and the modules to use for application development in order to reduce the errors in the development with testing. We also saw the complexities to manage request and response objects for carrying out unit testing of controllers. The example covered here showed the use of mock objects. We saw various ways, such as the Spring framework and Mockito, to create such Mock objects. We also covered the MockMVC object to carry out integration testing.
