All, Please can you help me find information on how to make money from putting a product in open source and case studies of who has done this successfully? We...
... Eric S. Raymond's "The Cathedral & the Bazaar" is a famous essay. The book has much more then just the essay. In "The Magic Cauldron" he mentions the model...

Hi all, Reinforcing what Ben has said below. Talking about TDD as a "testing" mechanism is missing the point. The primary focus of TDD is a design activity....

Hi all, ... Another key argument for TDD is that you only write code when you have a failing test, the argument being that it prevents the programmer from ...
And I'll add my 2c worth too :-) The study to me was artificial. It was a setup in a university environment. It doesn't factor in the realities of writing...
Hi All, ... My biggest concern with this sort of statement is the thought that anything can be tested in a unit test. I often find that the points of the code...
I agree with Dmitri. I believe test-first integration testing is the way to go, and it's how I try to do things. I don't do unit tests at all, because the...

Here is a summary of what I do: 1) Take a piece of required functionality that might take a day to a week to implement. Not something that one class...
