java 8 lambda expression and its applications

This is an example of using Lambda Expression in Java 8,

Without using Lambda Expression, the highlighted code would need to be like this,

We can use this SortedCounter to count the course selected by the classmates of a given student to recommend courses to the student, there are many occurrences of lambda expression in the above example,

in the above class, the parameter for SortedCounter and one forEach loop are the examples for Lambda Expression.
        //Declare a Predicate using lambda expression
        Predicate<String> notContains = course -> !courses.contains(course); 

        //Passing a lambda expression as a constructor parameter        
        SortedCounter<String> sortedCounter = new SortedCounter<>(
              (course1, course2) -> course1.compareTo(course2));

        //Both forEach calls take a lambda expression as parameter
        classmateService.getClassmates(student)
           .forEach(
                classmate -> 
                     courseService.getCources(classmate)
                       .stream()
                       .filter(notContains).forEach(
                           purchase ->
                            sortedCounter.count(purchase)
                        )
        );


We can use interface to switch the cache evict policy, and use SortedCounter class in Least Frequently Used cache policy,

Least Frequently Used eviction policy,
and a self populating cache,


Award::new is called method reference in Java 8, the alternative is a lambda expression or Anonymous Inner Class,the following 3 code snippets have the same functionality.
    
    //Use method reference
    private final static SelfPopulatingCache<Integer, Award> AWARDS = 
        create(Award::new);


    //Using lambda expression 
    private final static SelfPopulatingCache<Integer, Award> AWARDS = 
        create(level -> new Award(level));


   
    //Before Java 8, using Anonymous Inner Class
    private final static SelfPopulatingCache<Integer, Award> AWARDS = 
         create(
            new SelfPopulatingCache.Creator<Integer, Award>() {
                  @Override
                  public Award create(Integer key) {
                      return new Award(level);
                  }
            });
    }
This test make sure the valueOf return the same instance even under load, the highlighted code is also an example of lambda expression,
and this is the code without it,

structure of the code

Let's start with some code, I believe most people are familiar with the style, these are the code similar to what can be found in most people's codebase.

The method is so long and with so much details. It is very difficult to understand the author's intention and how business requirement is mapped to code.

To better map business requirement into code, we need to have some smaller classes to form an easy to follow structure, or an application architecture as used by many people,

Why do we need this DynamicEnum? From the about test whyNeedIt, you can see, no matter how many collections the instance is added to, only one copy of the object is created.

store multiple boolean variables without additional memory usage

Java doesn't specify the storage usage of boolean variables, here, but most popular JVM store boolean as an integer. If you have a class with multiple boolean variables, the memory usage will be linear to the number of instances of the collection. For large collections, this can be significant.

We can also solve this problem by using a multiple flag enum, SixFlags, which doesn't require additional memory usage so definitely is a huge advantage in Big Data age.

How can we find the correspondent enum instance when one flag changed? we can use the resolve(int index, boolean flag) method. Even it is quick to encode the boolean flags into an integer and then look up the enum instance in a lookup map, this approach still requires some computing. The most efficient approach is to calculate all the correspondent enum instances by flipping one flag each time and store the flipped instances in an array variable. The SixFlags class implemented this approach,
    /**
     * @param index
     * @param flag
     * @return itself or the flipped instance which has the same value as the given value
     * on the given index.
     */
    public SixFlags resolve(int index, boolean flag) {
        return flag == flags[index] ? this : flippedFlags[index];
    }

    ...

    static class Helper {

        static void flipFlags() {
            lookup.keySet().forEach(key -> {

For example, enum instance YYYYYY, all its flags are true, and it will be encoded as 63 if true is 1 for each flag. When flipping the first flag, we can get the correspondent flippedFlag from the first element of the flippedFlag array which is _YYYYY, and second flipped flag is Y_YYYY, and so on.

Why do I call it SixFlags? :)

comparing mockito and powermock

I changed job so I don't work on Selenium as much as the last project. Right now I am writing more junit tests than functional tests. I have observed this interesting behavior of some popular mocking libraries and I would like to share it with you.

I have written two tests for this class, one in Mockito, one in PowerMock,
package com.algocrafts.development;

public class Developer {

    private final SVN svn;
    private final Build build;
    private final Activities activities;

    public Developer(SVN svn, Build build, Activities activities) {
        this.svn = svn;
        this.build = build;
        this.activities = activities;
    }

    public void work() {
        activities.standupMeeting();
        activities.tdd();
        if (build.isGreen()) {
            svn.checkin();
        } else {
            activities.drinkCoffee();
        }
        activities.lunch();
        activities.tdd();
    }
}
Test in Mockito
package com.algocrafts.development;

import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.mockito.Mock;
import org.mockito.runners.MockitoJUnitRunner;

import static org.mockito.Mockito.*;

@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class DeveloperMockitoTest {

    @Mock private SVN svn;
    @Mock private Build build;
    @Mock private Activities activities;

    @Test
    public void whenBuildIsGreen() {

        when(build.isGreen()).thenReturn(true);

        new Developer(svn, build, activities).work();
        verify(activities).standupMeeting();
        verify(activities, times(2)).tdd();
        verify(svn).checkin();
        verify(activities, never()).drinkCoffee();
        verify(activities).lunch();
    }

    @Test
    public void whenBuildIsNotGreen() {

        when(build.isGreen()).thenReturn(false);

        new Developer(svn, build, activities).work();
        verify(activities).standupMeeting();
        verify(activities, times(2)).tdd();
        verify(svn, never()).checkin();
        verify(activities).drinkCoffee();
        verify(activities).lunch();
    }
}
Test in PowerMock,
package com.algocrafts.development;


import org.easymock.EasyMock;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.powermock.api.easymock.PowerMock;
import org.powermock.core.classloader.annotations.PrepareForTest;
import org.powermock.modules.junit4.PowerMockRunner;

import static org.easymock.EasyMock.expect;
import static org.powermock.api.easymock.PowerMock.expectLastCall;
import static org.powermock.api.easymock.PowerMock.replayAll;
import static org.powermock.api.easymock.PowerMock.verifyAll;

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest({Developer.class, SVN.class, Build.class, Activities.class})
public class DeveloperPowerTest {

    private SVN svn;
    private Build build;
    private Activities activities;

    @Test
    public void whenBuildIsGreen() {

        activities = PowerMock.createMock(Activities.class);
        activities.standupMeeting();
        expectLastCall();
        activities.tdd();
        expectLastCall().times(2);

        build = PowerMock.createMock(Build.class);
        expect(build.isGreen()).andReturn(true);

        svn = PowerMock.createMock(SVN.class);
        svn.checkin();
        expectLastCall();

        activities.lunch();
        expectLastCall();

        replayAll();

        new Developer(svn, build, activities).work();
        verifyAll();
    }

    @Test
    public void whenBuildIsNotGreen() {

        activities = PowerMock.createMock(Activities.class);
        activities.standupMeeting();
        expectLastCall();
        activities.tdd();
        expectLastCall().times(2);

        build = PowerMock.createMock(Build.class);
        expect(build.isGreen()).andReturn(false);

        activities.drinkCoffee();
        EasyMock.expectLastCall();

        activities.lunch();
        expectLastCall();

        replayAll();

        new Developer(svn, build, activities).work();
        verifyAll();
    }
}
You may notice that the test in Mockito is simpler, but that's not the point I am trying to make.
Now let us add one line code to the Developer class,
package com.algocrafts.development;

public class Developer {

    private final SVN svn;
    private final Build build;
    private final Activities activities;

    public Developer(SVN svn, Build build, Activities activities) {
        this.svn = svn;
        this.build = build;
        this.activities = activities;
    }

    public void work() {
        activities.standupMeeting();
        activities.tdd();
        if (build.isGreen()) {
            activities.stareAtScreenForHalfHourDoingNothing();  //This line is added by mistake.
            svn.checkin();
        } else {
            activities.drinkCoffee();
        }
        activities.lunch();
        activities.tdd();
    }
}
and run both tests, the test written in Mockito still passes but the the test written in PowerMock fails. What does this mean?

This means, in my opinion which may not matter too much, test written in PowerMock is safer than Mockito. What plays the critical role?
PowerMock.verifyAll();
