   Not really. They are paying for certifications though.

   I always hated Cucumber. Like there's this idea that business people are supposed to be able to make a semi-formal spec with it (because a good spec system like TLA+ requires at least two neurons, a big ask for a suit) but in reality they quickly realize that non-shit specification isn't as easy as pointless conference calls and sending emails and it doesn't make you feel important so they pawn it off on some other poor schmuck. I got out of my last job before they made it mandatory and I'm grateful for that.
   
   Selenium and its ilk are shitty in general because of waits. Depending on what's used on the frontend you could do something like protractor/synctractor which makes it automated browser testing significantly less shitty.

   Java is one of those things i can't even into. I don't use a CI, but i know a thing or two about selenium, Python flavor, so that's not helpful either.
   
   Sorry. But it's really your fault for not doing something i'm more interested in ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

    Java is a shit show, but it's just what they use in most large companies, so I have to adjust.
