Hi George, ... My first intro to BDD was in the days of jBehave. The person explaining it to me told me my personal view of testing was fatally flawed because...
Hi Charlie, ... I confess that I don't like it either, and for the same reason I don't like most of the given when thingies: I can't read them easily as...
Hi Ron, ... That's why it's good to have a choice of tools or for a tool like NUnit to give a choice of syntaxes. As I have said before, I didn't implement the...

Charlie, ... Yes, that. While it didn't say "should," it seemed more natural and convenient to use those matchers after using rspec for awhile. But I've been...
Hi George, On Wed, May 16, 2012 at 7:46 AM, George Dinwiddie ... I think it's perfectly reasonable to have personal habits and idiosyncracies, so long as those...
In the Java world, we wish we had LINQ. And Lambdas. But some of that is more convenience than substance. We've had anonymous inner classes in Java for some...
A trivial thought occurring during my daily ten-mile bike ride yesterday... It was 26 years (1959 - 1985) for COBOL to stabilize with the release of COBOL 85. ...
Hi Marvin, ... It could be, provided that the relevant parts of the framework are (1) user-accessible and (2) designed to be inherited from. As a first cut at...
Perhaps I'm not understanding how to make this complicated? Here are three representative convenience assert methods for persistence using JUnit v. 3 that seem...
Hi Marvin, Convenience assert methods are easy to write in almost every framework. We were talking about an entire syntactic overlay, not just a single assert....
