             Summary: Improve Java API style used for writting integration tests in Fineract
                 Key: FINERACT-949
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-949
             Project: Apache Fineract
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Michael Vorburger


The current (Java) "style" that integration tests are written in in Fineract is... really ugly!

They are from a bygone era when Java had no generic. All those weird {{java.util.HashSet}}, with a lot of {{java.lang.Object}} etc. in tests are... so not 21st century style.

I don't really have the answer here, yet - but perhaps others have ideas - how does one write Java (test) code in 2020 which deals with JSON in a nicer way?

Does REST Assured (http://rest-assured.io) meanwhile offer a better way to do this kind of thing?

Could https://github.com/skyscreamer/JSONassert be of use and interest for this purpose?

BTW if using REST Assured better than we are is part of the answer here, then let's first do FINERACT-884.
