... Damn - I couldn't resist and just read the article. Eli is a nice guy, but the article was so misguided it got me totally pissed off. He's basically...
Hi, Most people in my group don't write unit tests (let alone practice test-driven development). I'd like to hold a short training session next week on...
... Generally I would write unit tests for the subclass methods (the ones calling the method being pulled up) prior to pulling up the method. If I'm in a...
While the Singleton is frowned upon in most OOP circles, having a single instance of some objects is often quite useful. For example, it's not terribly useful...
I have spent much of the last year developing my little program pretty much by myself, with the occasional help of one other developer. I've been pretty good...
I work with a few programmers who are clearly in the group referred to. I have yet to figure out what really motivates them other than the paycheck thing. I...
Ironic that the meta-class which gives you such power is itself a Singleton... ;-) -Kelly ... From: testdrivendevelopment@yahoogroups.com Notice that...
... I can assure you that it can exist, at least in one direction. In fact, if I don't feel any sense of loyalty for my team/company any more, I know that it's...
Jay, I often describe crisis management in terms of a Florida land developer from the fifties (prior to environmental lawyers). His job consists of improving...
Perhaps I should have said it doesn't exist in American corporate culture... ;-) Cheers back at ya! -Kelly ... From: testdrivendevelopment@yahoogroups.com ... ...
Hello, Kelly. On Saturday, December 2, 2006, at 1:25:27 AM, you ... I have met very few people, if any, who are actually MOTIVATED by the paycheck. ... ...
Hello, Kelly. On Friday, December 1, 2006, at 10:19:29 PM, you ... Your story is not entirely a happy one. I hope that this happy note portends more ... Ron...
... Duplicating the test code? Surely not. Why not just make the setup method abstract (or a relevant portion of it abstract) and define two subclasses of the...
You can use ILMerge to merge multiple assemblies http://research.microsoft.com/~mbarnett/ILMerge.aspx Why is adding a single module for a solution; with...
Kelly, I am not sure of how much you would like them to change. I think that I have been in a very similar boat for that last few years. One thing that I ...
Hi Kelly, ... This sounds to me like the crux of your problem. Why are you doing it? I don't mean working with other programmers, but working with programmers...
Hi Kelly, ... I think that's quite right. "TDD makes you go faster" is an advanced insight. The only way to get people to see it is to get them to try it. I...
Hi Chris, ... You can't remove duplication if you don't create any. :-) Seriously, I'm pretty sure the reason that many people have trouble with removing...
Less than 5 minutes for a build. I'm envious. Our builds take a couple of hours, and a large proportion of that is spent building one application; apparently...
... I like the USGA Handicap System ... http://www.usga.org/playing/handicaps/manual/handicap_system_manual.html see section 10. The document is better than...
Hi Joe, ... http://www.google.com/search?q=tdd+bowling+game I don't like it much myself, as I've never understood the rules of bowling, but it seems popular. -...
Hi Kelly ... I'm sorry to hear about your situation; it sounds like it's been a discouraging experience. I think, however, that there's an implicit ...
... Isn't that the heart of TDD is focus on spending minimum time and effort to make code just work? If we get more time, we refactory it and then make it more...
Hi Carfield ... I wouldn't say that's how I practice TDD. I try to do the refactoring after every code-test cycle and incrementally add the elegance. Even ...
... (Actually I'm not so sure about that ...) ... I still don't like it. I don't want to copy the test: I make myself vulnerable to fiddling with the test code...
Hi Chris, ... When I say "shortly" I mean "in a few minutes." Does that make my approach more palatable to you? ... That's exactly what I do, except that I...
... I believe you are thinking more along the lines of YAGNI (You Ain't Gonna Need It) or my own personal fave WAGNI (Wag Ain't Gonna Need It). I would also...
Hi, I am making my framework to run in the testfixture setup. once the framework started running, i need to integrate the framework and NUnit so that i can get...
