Innovative Testing Techniques with Bytecode Instrumentation

Bytecode instrumentation is a powerful technique that enables you to inject arbitrary behavior into your Java code. It can be useful in testing/debugging, enabling code to be temporarily added during a test run and having no impact on your production-ready application.



This presentation attempts to demystify the process of bytecode instrumentation. It includes an overview of what is possible and why you might want to try the technique, followed by a practical example of how bytecode instrumentation is done and how the speaker has used it in the testing of real applications.
