Insightful point. This is my first agile project and I have definitely noticed how much quicker we have run into challenges compared to previous traditional ...
When I first got interested in Extreme Programming I came across a presentation (http://can.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/camug/pres/CAMUG_110502.pdf) that mentions a...

The location for tonight is ThoughtWorks, Level 11, 155 Queen Street. That's the north-west corner of Queen and Bourke Streets. We'll post someone downstairs...
I enjoyed the meeting last night. A lot of good points were raised. One point that was raised that I found very interesting is that tests should that expose...
Glen, Glad you enjoyed it. I hope your ears weren't bleeding too much by the end of it ;-) I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to assert here but I'll have...
I'm assuming you want to get lists of users to display on a screen - it looks like you're going the right way to me. ... From: Glen Stampoultzis...

Ahhh, Ok if that was the goal then I slightly mis understood but even still, I'd still pass the user manager into teh constructor of the security class and not...
Cool. Passing it into the constructor seems sensible. When I first started to write that email it intended to be a question but then as I was writing it I...
I also very much enjoyed last week's presentations. I am interested in hearing opinions on structuring of your Unit tests. It seems natural to group tests by...
I haven't read the book but it sounds interesting. The "typical" way is as you suggest, by class. My own observations are that if there is that much different...
To all XP/Agile software development fans: The Organizing Committee of XPAU 2004 would like to hear about your opinions/experiences regarding the Question of...
I start grouping tests by class, then restructure them as appropriate. This doesn't happen often, but I will split up tests when a) there are a lot of them for...
I agree with Simon that it could be an indication of a class with to much responsibility ... or your setup/teardown is perhaps doing too much. A colleague of...
Hi David, ... Me too. That was a really good meeting! ... I haven't read the book, but from stuff on mail lists a while ago, I think part of the idea is that...
Hi, I have just double checked to make sure I am able to let MXPEG know that I am in need of an "Agile" Python developer for an 18 month position starting...
Hi All, Seeing as though we seem to be talking quite frequently about TDD these days and the structure of our tests, i wanted to raise a question i've been...
Hi Marcus, ... key phrase "complex dependencies". I believe this is the subtle distinction you're looking for - complex dependencies indicate integration...
Marcus, If I were to put my "hard-core"/"idealist" hat on (or maybe if I were to just leave it there), I'd say that the complexity of the classes is the very...
We are auto-generating our data access layer (DAL) from a schema stored in an XML file. The system (when finished) will generate Entities (a simple class with...
... Certainly, you should write tests for the generator itself. And a great way to acceptance-test the generator would be to run it against a test-schema,...

Hi Guys, I have a quick question about usage of cruise control. Cruise control monitors a version control system. If there are changes since the last build it...
I have to agree that generating unit tests would be a waste of time as you'd have to test the generator to make sure they were being generated correctly :-)...
We have acceptence tests running on both developer machines and the cruise box but (from memory) they only break on a developers box. We run integration tests...
