Anyone here use HTTPort and/or HTTHost (www.htthost.com)? Can you confirm if the public HTTHost servers are working today? Can you confim that www.htthost.com...
Just would be nice to compare notes with others who have worked with this stuff. Boy it sure has been time-consuming to setup but I am starting from zero so I...

Just stumbled upon this article by Martin Fowler that cleared up some misconceptions I had about Mock Objects. I had heard about them but assumed they were...
... I came upon that article a while ago, but I have to admit I didn't quite grok it. Can someone clarify/simplify any of this: "Stubs are typically used to...
The main difference as I understand is this: Stub - class that returns static values or provides empty implementations of methods. Mock - class that can return...
By "which style" I guess you mean state-based (real secondary objects, stub secondary objects) vs. interaction based (mock secondary objects). I'm curious...
I think I got that part. Unit tests should test, at most, one class. So each test generally has one object under test. You run the test, verify the state of...
... Does this help? Hmmmm. I dunno, I guess a little. I'm still a bit confused though. Maybe someone can cough up a simple concrete example for a stub and...

... That is half of what I perceive of the difference. What I see as the other difference, what MF seems to be more interested in, is how using the interactive...

... This is the beauty of TDD. When I run into this situation, I can't help but think that the method really belongs on the class who's state it changes. -- ...
... Aha. Just went back and read the article again - in detail now, instead of skimming it - and things make much more sense now. I've not come across this...
... Well, yeah. But rather than directly discussing the topic, I kind diverted things into "I don't get it". And I would have gotten it if I had just...
The other half you refer to is just the oft-discovered fact that how you write tests influences how you write code. Starting with: writing tests at all tends...
Having now read through the entire Fortress spec (and understood maybe 10% of it, though some of the words look familiar) the language it reminds me most of...
I meant to allude to the "kitchen sink" aspect of these languages relative to their time. Each of those sought to incorporate every good idea in language...

Also wanted to add that my real hope for this category does lie in the Doman Specific stuff like that link I posted a while back for JetBrain's stuff. But...
