... I'm a little puzzled by this. Could you tell us more? Prevayler reads are all in RAM with no context switch, whereas reading the file would seem to require...
... Hi William, There are several potential reasons for the performance increase. We maintained a simple write-though cache of the data so read performance ...
... We might be drifting off, but it's very interesting. I hope that folks with the right tools will dig into this. On the face of it, it's not clear what's...
Dear colleagues, Do you use OO design patterns? Do you teach an objects-first CS1? Do you have some nifty examples you'd like to share? If so, read on! ...
... I wonder if Prevayler is flushing too much. Flush tends to be an expensive operation. Maybe Prevayler needs to be tuned to flush command serialization to...
... I appreciate the importance of executing full unit tests in a very short time. However, TDD is also a design technique. I have observed that mocking or...
... I'm not seeing why this might be true. (I do have my own fear that without integrating the code it won't work, but that seems to me to be a separate ...
Hi All, I was looking for an example where extreme programming is succesful in outsourced cases(software development outsourcing) to different geographies and...

... Hi Dominic, We've had quite different experiences and results. Although our current team is mostly in the seasoned OO programmer category, I've seen the...
... See below. ... Yes, I share that fear, because I have seen it borne out in practice, but it has not been such a big issue as the other ones. ... I didn't...
Ron, ... Those collaborators have to come from somewhere, though. Are you assuming that A is instantiating B and C ? If A is using instances of B and C that...
... Early in the project we manually wrote mock classes. These were reusable in different situations. Now we use a reflection-based mock implementation that...
... As I understand the terminology, the word "mock" should be reserved for objects which, in addition to simulating the real thing for the client objects,...
Hi Steve, ... That's interesting. ... It doesn't sound like it from the rest of your post. ... It sounds as though I use the term "stub" for what you call a...
Agilistas: Per a thread elsewhere, it seems that publishers lack the clout to direct bookstores how to arrange their books. This explains attrocities like...
... Even some of the mock implementations of mockobjects.com doesn't fit our definition of a mock because they implement some simple domain-related behavior in...
... I have Deployment Tests, which generally use the Gold Master technique on deployment descriptors /or/ XMLUnit, to write the descriptors test-first. ... ...
... If it weren't for interoperation with other applications that demand RDBMS... I just haven't had a real project on which I've been allowed to try...
... Agreed. That's the reason I said "testing goal". I'm emphasizing that the approach I described is a testing approach, and not a design technique. I am...
... <snip /> ... No, it doesn't bother me much, and I can't say why. Maybe the problems I'm solving at that simple. <snip /> ... Ah, no; for every /interface/...

... [ ... ] ... Interesting. I haven't found myself using mocks that much. OTOH, the first place I found myself using them was in a situation where the need ...
... Or that they come from somewhere, yes. ... Yes. I'd prefer not to do that and, in general, would not. ... I haven't the time or inclination to create one...
... Understood. It occurs to me now that this is one of those things I'd expect a team to find its own balance on, and that biasing them at all might be ...
... That's perverse. Why would sensible people go through all the trouble of building a proper three tier architecture, to separate presentation, business...
While I agree with the general consensus of this thread, I'd like to mention, that finding bugs is not the only use of debuggers. Since I'm a solo developer,...
