Mocking is an essential part of unit testing, and the Mockito library makes it easy to write clean and intuitive unit tests for your Java code.
Get started with mocking and improve your application tests using our Mockito guide:
Handling concurrency in an application can be a tricky process with many potential pitfalls. A solid grasp of the fundamentals will go a long way to help minimize these issues.

Spring 5 added support for reactive programming with the Spring WebFlux module, which has been improved upon ever since. Get started with the Reactor project basics and reactive programming in Spring Boot:
Since its introduction in Java 8, the Stream API has become a staple of Java development. The basic operations like iterating, filtering, mapping sequences of elements are deceptively simple to use.
But these can also be overused and fall into some common pitfalls.
To get a better understanding on how Streams work and how to combine them with other language features, check out our guide to Java Streams:

Yes, Spring Security can be complex, from the more advanced functionality within the Core to the deep OAuth support in the framework.
I built the security material as two full courses - Core and OAuth, to get practical with these more complex scenarios. We explore when and how to use each feature and code through it on the backing project.

End-to-end testing is a very useful method to make sure that your application works as intended. This highlights issues in the overall functionality of the software, that the unit and integration test stages may miss.
Playwright is an easy-to-use, but powerful tool that automates end-to-end testing, and supports all modern browsers and platforms.
When coupled with LambdaTest (an AI-powered cloud-based test execution platform) it can be further scaled to run the Playwright scripts in parallel across 3000+ browser and device combinations:

1. Overview
When single-threaded execution isn’t enough, we can use annotations from the org.springframework.scheduling.annotation package.
In this quick tutorial, we’re going to explore the Spring Scheduling Annotations.
2. @EnableAsync
With this annotation, we can enable asynchronous functionality in Spring.
We must use it with @Configuration:
@Configuration
@EnableAsync
class VehicleFactoryConfig {}Now, that we enabled asynchronous calls, we can use @Async to define the methods supporting it.
3. @EnableScheduling
With this annotation, we can enable scheduling in the application.
We also have to use it in conjunction with @Configuration:
@Configuration
@EnableScheduling
class VehicleFactoryConfig {}As a result, we can now run methods periodically with @Scheduled.
4. @Async
We can define methods we want to execute on a different thread, hence run them asynchronously.
To achieve this, we can annotate the method with @Async:
@Async
void repairCar() {
// ...
}If we apply this annotation to a class, then all methods will be called asynchronously.
Note, that we need to enable the asynchronous calls for this annotation to work, with @EnableAsync or XML configuration.
More information about @Async can be found in this article.
5. @Scheduled
If we need a method to execute periodically, we can use this annotation:
@Scheduled(fixedRate = 10000)
void checkVehicle() {
// ...
}We can use it to execute a method at fixed intervals, or we can fine-tune it with cron-like expressions.
@Scheduled leverages the Java 8 repeating annotations feature, which means we can mark a method with it multiple times:
@Scheduled(fixedRate = 10000)
@Scheduled(cron = "0 * * * * MON-FRI")
void checkVehicle() {
// ...
}Note, that the method annotated with @Scheduled should have a void return type.
Moreover, we have to enable scheduling for this annotation to work for example with @EnableScheduling or XML configuration.
For more information about scheduling read this article.
6. @Schedules
We can use this annotation to specify multiple @Scheduled rules:
@Schedules({
@Scheduled(fixedRate = 10000),
@Scheduled(cron = "0 * * * * MON-FRI")
})
void checkVehicle() {
// ...
}Note, that since Java 8 we can achieve the same with the repeating annotations feature as described above.
7. Conclusion
In this article, we saw an overview of the most common Spring scheduling annotations.
