No, I've never had this problem. (I have heard of people who chose not to test because their access control didn't allow it. It seems to me that they didn't...

Responding to... "a rather specialized language" and "I doubt it's used much internationally at this stage let alone in Portland." I am not sure what...
Right. Ok. I did quote that verbatim didn't I. The scenario you're talking about I'd handle by making the strategy classes package level protected and have my...
As Ward hinted in his email, it comes down to a tension between the desire to TDD and the desire to follow a strict access model. One approach is to ignore...
... Along the same lines as what Jim and Ward have said... If we're talking Java, I've copied a pattern from AppFuse, where the test classes are in their own...

This is straying off-topic but, you know, I used to put a lot of energy into access decisions and worry about how to balance client and testing access; now my...
Hey XPers, Come code! We'll also have hanging out, language discussions[1], caffeine, beer, etc. And, of course, some other XP practices. Code Sprint ...

OK great. I just found out that the 4th Wednesday isn't available here at all through the end of the year. If we like the space next week let's just book it. ...

Hey all,[1] We had a pretty fabulous and successful first code sprint last Wednesday. Three projects were worked on: an agile planning tool, a dark or shadow...
