Mauricio Salatino @salaboy Laurent Broudoux @lbroudoux SIMPLIFYING CLOUD-NATIVE APP TESTING ACROSS ENVIRONMENTS THE WORKSHOP 

Before we start… • git clone https://github.com/salaboy/spring-io-2026-workshop • cd spring-io-2026-workshop/ • Run ./init-workshop.sh or ./init-workshop.ps1 • You need an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY • Create issues if you have questions 

Workshop objectives • How to run all these tools in developer environment and keep a reasonable cognitive load? • Illustrate usage of modern development techniques (mocking, contract testing, containers testing, observability, …) • Managing complexity and deal with non-deterministic behavior. 

Who we are! Mauricio Salatino @salaboy Laurent Broudoux @lbroudoux CNCF Ambassador, Java Champion, OSS & ecosystem @ DashO Cloud native Architect @ Postman Microcks founder

Wrap-up 

Key Learnings 🤔 • Mocking & Contract Testing come together for cutting dependencies and providing with fast feedback loops • Observability is mandatory for understanding how distributed AI-infused apps are expected to work • Dapr provides powerful abstractions, making your application portable and your workflow durable • All of the above can run on your machine without a Kubernetes cluster!
