&lt;h2 id="java-automation-testing--from-beginner-to-advanced"&gt;Java Automation Testing – From Beginner to Advanced&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Goal:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Build a fully‑automated CI/CD pipeline that compiles, tests, deploys, runs smoke tests, and generates quality reports for a Java web application.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Audience:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
1️⃣ &lt;strong&gt;Beginners&lt;/strong&gt; – want to understand the core concepts and get a simple pipeline running.&lt;br&gt;
2️⃣ &lt;strong&gt;Intermediate&lt;/strong&gt; – need a working implementation that can be extended.&lt;br&gt;
3️⃣ &lt;strong&gt;Advanced&lt;/strong&gt; – want optimisations, best‑practice patterns, and real‑world insights.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Generate Kotlin Clients with Smithy</title><link>https://ai-blog.noorshomelab.dev/tutorials/generate-kotlin-clients-with-smithy/</link><pubDate>Mon, 11 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://ai-blog.noorshomelab.dev/tutorials/generate-kotlin-clients-with-smithy/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What you&amp;rsquo;ll build:&lt;/strong&gt; A type-safe Kotlin client automatically generated from a custom Smithy service model, demonstrating its usage.
&lt;strong&gt;Time needed:&lt;/strong&gt; ~60 minutes
&lt;strong&gt;Prerequisites:&lt;/strong&gt; Basic understanding of Kotlin, Familiarity with Gradle build system, Java Development Kit (JDK) 11 or higher installed, Basic understanding of API concepts
&lt;strong&gt;Version used:&lt;/strong&gt; Smithy 2.0&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;h3 id="introduction-to-smithy-kotlin-client-code-generation"&gt;Introduction to Smithy Kotlin Client Code Generation&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Building robust and maintainable API clients can be a tedious and error-prone task. Manually writing data transfer objects (DTOs), request/response structures, and client methods for every API endpoint leads to boilerplate code, potential inconsistencies, and a higher chance of errors when the API changes. This is where Interface Definition Languages (IDLs) like Smithy come to the rescue.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
