3. INSPIRATION

   FINDING TRANQUILITY 3
   1) Investing our
   free time in
   something better
   than playing (and
   finding bugs) in
   Red Dead
   Redemption 2

   3) We needed something to quickly
   prototype HTTP automated checks
   without much structure clutter,
   but maintainable.
   4) time wasted in “dependencies
   setup” on pipelines for API
   automated checks

6. DISCOURAGEMENT
   JUN-19
   FINDING TRANQUILITY 6
   Serenity
   Not bad but…
   - Clutter (>170 dependencies)
   - Slow to prototype tests
   - Forced code structure
   (Ex.: @Steps -> @Step ->
   @Given/@When/...)
   Postman
   Fast but…
   - Clutter (848 dependencies)
   - Maintainability = Zero
   - Json as Code…

    FINDING TRANQUILITY 10
    a) Mimic Serenity?
    - “Overkill” internal structure
    - To many dependencies
    (plus weird ones: OpenCV?
    AspectJ?...)
    b) Mimic Postman’s “feeling”?
    - Simplicity with a harsh price
    - Ok… we ramp up the maintainability

14. BREAKING STUFF DOWN
    JUN-19
    FINDING TRANQUILITY 14
    All of tranquility was done on
    our free time.
    (We have little of it)
    Solution:
    break stuff into micro-tasks!

15. GO NO-GO?
    JUN-19
    FINDING TRANQUILITY 15
    Which programming language?
    We chose Go (aka. Golang)
    - Lots of “Hype” in the office J
    - A wonderful standard library. No need
    to include external dependencies.
    - We wanted to challenge ourselves!

22. LEARNINGS
    JUN-19
    FINDING TRANQUILITY 22
    - Most ideas and needs are already there, but we just
    need to pay attention
    - Bootstrapping an OSS project is easy
    - Maintaining an OSS project is hard
    - Free-time management, there is time for everything
    but tradeoff is needed
    - Harsh reality: there is no “silver bullet tool”
    - Jorge is still better in Mario Kart and Smash Bros
