Telenet used AEM 5.6 to build their website. For legacy reasons, the upgrade process was postponed until Adobe announced this particular version will no longer be supported. The codebase was deployed on the new AEM 6.3 and all functionality was regression tested. As certified AEM developer, it was my job to go over all detected issues and find a solution to make it work with the new AEM version.

Speedup Writing Tests with Wiremock Spring Boot, Voxxed Days Brussels 2024
Published on: May 21, 2024
Calling APIs is business as usual. Building API clients is always good fun, testing them is somewhat trickier.
Wiremock is one of the most frequently used tools to mock APIs. Setting it up for testing purposes in your Spring Boot application is a bit daunting. Or should I say: WAS daunting. Enter WireMock Spring Boot, making your life easier.
In this short talk I'll introduce the idead behind Wiremock. Next, we'll put this newly gained knowledge into practice and craft unittests for a JsonPlaceholder client. To conclude, I'll give an overview of resources and documentation where you can review the covered topics.
Speedup Writing Tests with Wiremock Spring Boot, Devoxx Belgium 2023

Calling APIs is business as usual. Building API clients is always good fun, testing them is somewhat trickier. Wiremock is one of the most frequently used tools to mock APIs. Setting it up for testing purposes in your Spring Boot application is a bit daunting. Or should I say: WAS daunting. Enter WireMock Spring Boot, making your life easier. I’ll kick off with building a simple API client and adding WireMock Spring Boot in the mix. Although simple, there are some gotchas as usual. As a wrap-up, we’ll go for some practical tips on how to test a third-party client. Expect some tips on how to figure out what calls are done and how to turn this in some nice tests.
No more John Doe: realistic mock data with mockaroo, Devoxx Belgium 2022
Published on: Oct 11, 2022
When working on something new, you often have to create fake data. Those attempts usually never exceed the John Doe or test123 level, and that’s fine. If you need more meaningful information, or have to generate data on more than one occasion, then you need a tool - welcome mockaroo! Mockaroo offers a wide range of generators, ranging from IT (domain names, IP addresses, email) over commerce (currencies, IBAN) to miscellaneous (colors, animals, currencies). On top it provides an intuitive UI to get you started. Next to that, you can save your data in common formats. In this session, I’ll briefly cover why realistic data is useful. Next I’ll dive into mockaroo and how to create your realistic dataset. While doing so, I’ll provide practical tips based on previous experiences. A short demo consuming this test data as an API will conclude this talk.
Automate boring tasks, save time & learn something new, Devoxx Poland 2021
Published on: Aug 25, 2021
We’ve all been there: repetitive, boring tasks we like to postpone. First of that kind that pops up in your mind: filling out timesheets! While working at a Telco project, we had to fill out timesheets in the most archaic, nerve-wrecking system. Soon I was fed up and decided to automate this process with calling a REST Api, Selenium and some python programming. Soon I noticed I could automate other repetitive tasks. In this talk I’ll present my journey of how I made my life somewhat easier. I’ll present some real-life examples including filling timesheets, posting deployment updates, updating your environment, ... and give some tips and advice how you can find those boring tasks you might be able to automate!
