I throw tests away if 1) they are obviated (subsumed in more interesting tests) or 2) the requirement is withdrawn. If #1 and #2 problems in your email have...
Hi Steven, ... Good point. But we are using system APIs for most of that stuff; APIs that (hopefully) were tested by those vendors. I'm still under the...

I know your pain. This is how I TDDed in C++: -Create your unit test test project. -Write your test first using your unit test framework (I used UnitTest++). ...
Hi All, NUnit 2.4.2 is available at http://nunit.com/?p=download NUnit 2.4.2 fixes a number of outstanding bugs and adds a number of new features. Culture and...
