The development of the virtual threads, also known as Project Loom, began in late 2017. The final implementation brings with it two major changes. Virtual threads now support thread-local variables by default, and they are now monitored by default and observable via the new thread dump. This blog post introduces virtual threads and explains how they are used in Java.

Developers are quite familiar with unit testing, even with integrative approaches like @SpringBootTest. But many lack a clear design/development/test strategy and stick to their preferred programming language. Acceptance Test Driven Design (ATDD) is a structured approach to designing your tests and programme from the outside in, focusing on larger blocks of functionality rather than individual classes. This blog post shows how this works.
