I remember an xpstl meeting years ago where we were trying to test a Java robot battle simulation (Robocode?) The conclusion of the group was that the code was...
... What is it you were trying to test - a particular robot, or the simulator? And why was the conclusion that the code is untestable (stochasticity, no source...
We were trying to build and test a robot. However, the framework was too intrusive. Our robot had to extend a base class that provided fixed functionality. We...
... This relates to a couple of key points about TDD: * Yes, it is common to need to change the design of a system, to make it testable. * In most cases...
Sorry for sending this, but I am playing with sieve scripts on my new email host. I needed a mailing list message so I could test my filtering. Please ignore,...

"pre" factoring purports to reduce the need to "re" factor. I must ask: Why in the hell would you want to avoid refactoring? Isn't refactoring something we...
Ron Jeffries argues against Alistair Cockburn that Refactoring is not Rework. He borrows the position "programming is not typing" from Martin Fowler (need I...
My impression, from skimming through the Prefactoring book at a book store, was that Ken is using "big design up-front" wording to describe something that is...
I'm in favor of doing Kerievsky's "Refactoring to Patterns". I own it, but so far have only skimmed it. It looks good, sort of a sequel to Fowler's ...
