A low code coverage indicates that code is not well tested and therefore unsafe to work with. Unfortunately, a high code coverage does not give certainty that the tests are well written. Mutation testing promises to give us some of that certainty, by checking how well our tests hold up to changes in code behavior.

Generating client code from an OpenAPI specification can save a lot of development time and reduce risk of that code being outdated. However, it is not immediately obvious how to generate that code from a Spring Boot application. This article explains how to generate Angular code from a Java Spring Boot project using Springdoc Swagger and Maven (though you can easily swap out Angular for any other language).

One of Swagger’s strongest selling points is the ability to generate client code from an OpenAPI specification – this usually works well if you’re using the Design First approach. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be much information on how to automate the process when using the Code First approach. Today we will learn how to easily generate Angular code from a Java Spring Boot project using Springfox Swagger and Swagger Codegen.

If you’re using the springfox-swagger2 library, you might come across a problem when it comes to generic types (such as Pet<T>). In cases where diamond brackets are used, Swagger will generate an invalid specification, resulting in a validation error in the Swagger Editor (“”$ref values must be RFC3986-compliant percent-encoded URIs”).
