This concludes the test code walkthrough. When you read the code, you might want to use only a subset of the ideas that are illustrated. Maybe the Cucumber method isn't really a good fit for you, or you value concise and succinct code over the layered abstractions used in the example. That is a natural and sound reaction.

We also looked at concrete ways of working with automated software testing in a CI server. We used Jenkins and Maven as well as JUnit and JMeter.
