Well. It is a continuum, right? Scott picked four points on said continuum. I might not have chosen the same points he did to exemplify the continuum, but...

Once on a No Fluff Just Stuff-seminar Venkat told a story about how he started out doing code review by just deciding with a collegue that they would team up...
I believe I understand what a continuum is. What I'm curious about is how you would characterize the continuum and what your points would be. I'd like to...
That's a good example. I probably wouldn't have called out the continuum, even though it's there. I can't see the water in which I swim. If Scott had pointed...

What kind of testing are you talking about? The unit testing features in VS 2008 work quite well. I've worked with both NUnit and MSTest unit tests and think...
Thanks for your response Chris. I'm not talking about unit testing but automated acceptance testing. We've liked Selenium so far (quite better than the others)...
Thanks a lot Max for your response. I guess I will try Selenium for a while as it seems to be the easiest right now & I've been hearing a lot good about it. ...
