We’re building a Google Photos clone, and testing is damn hard!
How do we test that our Java app spawns the correct ImageMagick processes or that the resulting thumbnails are the correct size and indeed thumbnails, not just random pictures of cats? How do we test different ImageMagick versions and operating systems?
What’s in the Video
00:00 Intro
