I'm wondering if someone on this list is interested in a paying gig improving the Language::Guess module so that it is much, much faster, say 50-100 times...
I can't speak for anyone else, but I recently joined the list. I began my professional career in 1998 writing Perl programs for the web. Then, in late 2001,...
Not sure what unit tester you all use, but I wrote one that seems pretty good (so far). Its main claim to fame is it that it automatically detects test cases...
Right. TMTOWDI applies. But what is it about the de facto standard wheel that you don't like? I read your code, and I don't see any advantage. Enlighten me....
... It's, like, very, ok, repeatitive, ok? Test::* and xUnit need a refactoring so that you only express what is the essence of the cases. They are also weak...
... Please explain more about what you mean "weak on the deviance side". I tend to test my failure cases using mocked objects and subroutines, which means the...
... I'm reading that as not liking seeing lots of "ok BLAH" statements in the test output - in which case just write a test runner that doesn't show them. I...
... No, I don't like typing them. :-) ... Yes, that's what we do, too, but the structure is missing to allow for easy refactoring. ... Here's a simple...
... I'm not a big fan of Mock objects. I only use them when it's absolutely necessary. I like end-to-end tests, even our unit tests hit the database. ... I...
... You make several good points, but it seems to me like you are throwing out the baby with the bath water. I never declare the number of units. A "best...
... That is a personal preference. I prefer mocks, because it allows me to test in isolation. My theory is that perfect components will work together...
... We have about 12,000 lines of unit tests. We have 1,500 lines (including lengthy pod) of test framework. I would estimate that we have 50% fewer lines of...
... Testing does not make perfect. Code proofs don't even make perfect. The definition of perfect is constantly changing. Working out APIs a lot sooner is...
... I think you mean "the simpler the tests, the probably fewer the number of bugs". Otherwise, I completely disagree; your code has to get specific...
... I can't recall the last time I opened a test and didn't know what it was testing, but if this ever happened I suppose my response would go something like...
