Survey Surfaces Massive Amount of Java Technical Debt

A global survey of 2,039 Java developers published today finds 63% reporting that dead and unused code adversely affects their team's productivity, with 22% describing the impact of that technical debt as being severe. Conducted by Dimensional Research on behalf of Azul, a provider of a distribution of OpenJDK, the survey also finds that more than half (56%) now deal with a Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVE) involving Java on a daily or weekly basis.

Testing: exceptions and caches

Kacper Borucki blogged about parameterizing exception testing, and linked to pytest docs and a StackOverflow answer with similar approaches. The common way to test exceptions is to use pytest.raises as a context manager, and have separate tests for the cases that succeed and those that fail. Instead, this approach lets you unify them. I tweaked it to this, which I think reads nicely: One parameterized test that covers both good and bad outcomes. Nice.

This extends to the software development community, which is seeing a near-ubiquitous presence of AI-coding assistants as teams face pressures to generate more output in less time. While the huge spike in efficiencies greatly helps them, these teams too often fail to incorporate adequate safety controls and practices into AI deployments. The resulting risks leave their organizations exposed, and developers will struggle to backtrack in tracing and identifying where - and how - a security gap occurred.
