Introduction

In Coding Katas mostly programming tasks are set that are intended to solve a specific problem on a green field. I often experience that participants of the katas can easily adopt these micro-tasks into their projects. However, they often find it difficult when it comes to integrating existing solutions where they have to mock in order not to have to fully initialize the existing components.

In real projects, you often encounter situations where you depend on external dependencies and have to serve and use their interfaces. Unfortunately, this approach has been neglected in many coding kata examples so far. In this article, I would like to explain a task that I use for this purpose in my coding dojos at team neusta.
