Hi, all, Yes, I have some actual content to discuss!!! I posted a blog entry today, and Craig read it and gave me some interesting feedback on what I wrote. ...
Well, the second teaching session went well. NOLS (The National Outdoor Leadership School) has a saying: "See one, do one, teach one." meaning you don't...

http://www.agileprogrammer.com/oneagilecoder/ seems to be down at the moment. Something I do when I don't care about order is to compare sets: Build a Set...
Hi, Brian, ... I think that Craig is mostly right. Part of what you want your test case to do is to communicate how you intend the class under test to be ...
... First, I agree with Gary. Call the thing Books. Second, you did call the test PresortedBookList, so by default you are assuming a presorted list. But I...
Craig, Sorry for the long delay. Working full time, taking two college courses and building a house. Something's gotta give and lately it's been my yahoo ...
... To add to Bryan's comments, I found VBUnit3 (http://www.vbunit.org/) to be very useful. It costs $79, which you will recoup in a day. When you are adding...
Thanks for the reply. So basically, you just write your own stand-alone test functions, and call them all from the master function? That's what I've been doing...
... To be fair, my tools (Ruby and RSpec) do a really good job of pushing me to write better tests. It took me a few tries to realize that I should really be...
... OK, you all win. I have definitely learned something new about writing tests like these. The very next test I wrote added the sorting logic, and in that...
... I think we ALL win. ;) ... Stacking the deck to put things in the wrong order doesn't seem as icky as doing it to put things in the right order. The...
I have to agree with Craig here about RSpec and BDD in general. Never thought I'd go for behavior driven over test driven, but RSpec really changed my...
Bryan, I'll try the 2 on 1 thing next time, that might help. I am also using Camtasta Studio to record a screen session walking through the whole thing ...

Hi, Speaking of PHP, keep in mind that there are two unit test frameworks for it, PHPUnit (availble in PEAR) and SimpleTest (http://simpletest.org/). I used to...
This position is for Cyber Korp's Agile Development Center located in Chicago suburbs. Initial assignment is in Columbia, MO for 2 months. Columbia,...
... My PHP projects so far have been small fixes and feature additions to existing code, so I've not had the luxury of enough time to add much testing at all....
... I was curious about this, so I did a search and found the new NUnit constraint syntax. (There's a nice write-up at http://nunit.com/blogs/?cat=3) This...
... Also - if anyone has suggestions of things they'd like to see in the next version of NUnit, we've got a working group together talking about it, and I'd be...
... Along those same lines, RSpec has merged in rbehave like functionality in its trunk. This gives rise to the new Story Runner which is like adding...
I don't think so. I am pretty sure NUnit makes a reflective call under the hood to System.Reflection.CurrentDev.IsOldUnenlightenedSlog; If it comes back true,...

Yep, no fancy tricks. As others have pointed out there are far more test frameworks out there than one would at first think... Later, Bryan...
Hi, Jody, ... Don't I get a smiley with that insult?!? That would be ... System.Reflection.CurrentDev.IsFatOldStupidUnenlightenedSlogSir; to you, young...
How about half a smiley, since I am 40, and no longer so young. ;) In fact, I don't think I can claim enlightenment, either. If fact, I was feeling a bit...
... Right now we're at ground zero. We are hashing out licensing, and the plugin model and some other things. I'll pass it along to see how far we can push it....
... Hey Cory. Does IronRuby work like JRuby where you can into .Net and .Net can call into Ruby? Does that allow you to script and test your .Net classes with...
I'm working on a project for a client (that's right, they're letting *me* write code!), and I'm a team of one right now. That's important, because as I was...
