This template provides a reference implementation of a typical task management system, which can be examined and converted into a base for developing a real-world enterprise project.
Gradle 7.4 is used as a build and task execution system.
Key features:
- Gradle Wrapper
- The recommended way to version the build system itself.
- Kotlin language for build scripts
- Advanced editing experience.
- Java Toolchains
- Control of used JDK vendors and distributions.
- Binding tasks to specific Java version.
- Special custom plugins
- Optimized test-driven development.
- Mutation testing setup.
- Small modules
- Easy to compose and replace.
- Best for parallel task execution and execution plan optimization.
- Friendly for the build cache.
Java 17 is used as the main language.
Implementation features:
- Java Platform Module System (JPMS) is used for all non-test modules.
Git 2.35.1 is used to manage the codebase and releases. Release versions adheres to calendar versioning.
This project demonstrates the use of several types of automated tests:
- Microtests for the main logic
- Heavily involved in the main cycle of test driven development.
- Mostly use detached datasets shared across the team.
- Basic environment tests to verify development process
- Intended to be launched either at the beginning of work on a project or after changing the system configuration.
- Code coverage reporting
- Per module and aggregated.
- Mutation testing to check tests quality
- Only for core modules with critical business logic.
