I can't find any references to the idea of "positive programming" or "intentional programming" or what ever it is called. Not knowing its name has complicated...

I don't think Null Object is it and I was reading about the Intentional Programming concept but it seems to be more aimed at a 4GL solution to allow for more...
This sounds a little like Design by Contract. See /Pragmatic Programmer/ Chapter 4. Also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_by_contract I like your name...
I like this idea and wish we could find the name for it (if one exists). I was working with a team who took a very similar stance in exceptions. If an...

Cinci-ART, Seems that we won't have an interesting project for Rails 2008 after all. Alan McKean from Gemstone gives details on recent developments concerning...
We touched on it at the last meeting, should we use precondition asserts (shoulds) to ensure that the environment is correct before running the test code. I...
Warning: Overly long response. Sorry, got carried away. ... I think the proposition was phrased a bit differently: Should we test preconditions? I took the...
Very interesting Jim, but I think removing the mock may have changed the balance of power for that decision. Your new test is proving behaviours scoped to a...
... When in doubt, always change the balance of power. :) ... I hear you, and I'm not absolutely against the technique you suggest, but I do have some...
Ok, answer 3 is the magic one. I am trying to move towards BDD by grouping context in the setup methods anyway, so adding the asserts there would make perfect...

Got no replies to this from the CRB list :( --Craig . . . Does anyone have any tips for or thoughts on ways to navigate in a codebase that is new to you?...
... I don't know how to build a call tree like you outlined; however, have you looked at rdebug? I'm not 100% with it yet; but it's fairly good. Rdebug would...
