I am Mark Levison. I'm Agile Coach and TDD practitioner. I'm trying to improve my own use of mock objects and help teams that I'm coaching inside IBM learn...
I've started several coding dojo's ( http://www.notesfromatooluser.com/2008/10/tdd-randori-workshop.html) at our organization and now they both run the bowling...
... Have a look at the extended example in part 2. It starts from acceptance tests and uses mocks later on. As we've often said, we do TDD with mocks /within/...
... I've always known this I've just never had a good what to mock or perhaps more importantly what not to mock. In our case I think it might make sense to go...
... It doesn't really matter what, as long as there are some objects that collaborate and an entry point for external events. ... I'd say (as with any new...
... WindowLicker is for end-to-end testing and testing GUI components. You can happily ignore it if you want to concentrate on experimenting with mock objects....
Hi Mark, One thing I do is get my students to re-implement stuff. So, for example, I did the bowling example and then got them to do it again using mocks....
Thanks for the suggestions Jamie, I'm interested in the credit card example whenever you have the chance to send it. Cheers Mark On Sat, Nov 29, 2008 at 2:02...
Thanks Nat. ... I'm familiar (in passing) with Window Licker. Even if I wanted to introduce the complexity of the gui at this stage, we build Eclipse...
... WindowLicker is organised in layers. The lowest layer (windowlicker-core) is copes with testing asynchronous systems and performing user interaction...
... Reason: wife, kids, marriage, continued interest in lfe beyond Agile, * personal* *kanabn board *with a large backlog and very low rate of flow. I will...
I've just read through the rough cuts version of your book on Safari and am looking forward to the final cut. I was wondering if you had considered presenting...
... We decided not to present the material in pattern form for a few reasons. My own opinions are: Patterns are a very dry format. I find patterns boring to...
A Hamcrest Matcher reports whether an object matches some criteria and can describe its criteria. For example, this code creates Matchers that *matche* if...
Hello all, I'm as my yahoo id suggests, Adam Shimali. I've joined the group at the suggestion of Steve Freeman after I chased him for updates on the book at...
Hello all. I've published a new chapter to the online draft book: Unit Testing with Threads. This is a chapter from the "advanced topics" section that comes...
Hello all, my name is Magnus Forsberg and I've joined the group because of my interest in TDD. I stumbled over the group while digging through the net for...
I thought this was a really clear, well-written chapter, especially as it's not an easy subject matter. Minor things: "We'll need an interface between the...
A few more thoughts + some typos... The Executor is a policy, so maybe it shouldn't be in the constructor, but set via a setter. However, in this case, it...
Another typo, I think: Blitzer blitzer = new Blitzer(25000); ... java.lang.AssertionError: final count Expected: <50000> got: <36933> I think the Blitzer...
Hi David. Thanks for the in-depth feedback. Yes, typos are useful, especially in the code where they might easily slip past copy-editors. Thanks also for...
In case the suspense has been too much... There's more from the extended example, one on how to maintain ongoing TDD, and one on how to cope with threading. ...
Hi guys, I'm really looking forward to the book! In particular, I appreciated the section on logging - you mentioned it was a controversial discussion, but I...
HI guys, As always, take what you need from this. I have tried to be precise, but because it's such an interesting chapter (and I think a difficult one to ...
BTW, I think it's coming together, and when it does I will enjoy reading the book from front to end. Sometimes reading isolated chapters create more questions...
... I've not read the new chapters yet, so this is slightly OT, but I have high hopes that this book will help clean up some common misconceptions about this...
Hey guys I do applaud you for taking this one on at all, and will be interested to see the relationship between this and Testing Asynchronous Code. Detailed...
Just uploaded some more changes, as we rework Part III. - added the TDD and Threading chapter - reworked the chapter on Third-Party code - struggling with the...
