Testing a Full-Stack Clojure Application

Test the pure core deeply and test boundaries (HTTP/DB) with a small set of focused integration checks.

Testing a Full-Stack Clojure Application orients the full-stack project work around boundaries Java engineers need to review explicitly. Use these lessons to keep domain logic, adapters, persistence, UI integration, tests, and operational concerns separated rather than hidden inside framework wiring.

Read the child pages as implementation checkpoints for a project you could build, test, deploy, and evolve with a mixed Java and Clojure team.

In this section
