JP Hamilton has posted a brief blog post on how he unit tests WinForms . Looks nifty, especially if you use a pattern like Model-View-Presenter for your forms. His rationale is that if you keep on testing only the presenter and mocking out the view in your unit tests, your forms code still gets zero...

The previous incarnation of that Microsoft article was heavily panned by critics and in a rare move, Microsoft actually pulled it out of its developer web site. I didn't realise it but Microsoft actually replaced it with one written by Jeffrey Palermo -- http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa730844...

This InfoQ link on pipelined CI got my attention because it was something that I can relate to. The project we're working on used to build on our CruiseControl.NET build server in only three minutes; now it's taking more than 18 minutes to complete. And it's a dual-core 2 GB machine at that...

Have you heard of the term cyclomatic complexity ? I had my first encounter with it in the current project we're doing at work. One of the senior guys in our project set up our build server, with CruiseControl.NET invoking a tool called SourceMonitor and analyzing source code complexity. Basically...

i agree that incorporating code coverage criteria in your build scripts is very restrictive, but you have no choice if your team is just starting out doing tdd or writing plain automated unit tests. how can you force them to learn to write automated unit tests if you will not be pressuring them? without...

Man, oh Man, oh Man! Another timesaver to add in my development toolbox. Jerry Jarell has just released NStub which is a Unit Test Generator for .NET Assemblies and man it looks really promising. From the site: NStub is a unit test generator for .NET assemblies. You simply point NStub at the assembly...

Technological advancements in micro-processors suggest an imminent paradigm shift in software development. The sudden shift from old architecture to a new breed of multi–core processors dictates the use of concurrency concepts to optimize performance and to get around synchronization abstractions like...

Yesterday I had the privilege of speaking about Test Driven Development in front of PHP developers. I had a bit of trouble at first with the projector not playing nice with my cheapo notebook. Too bad that we didn't have much time to cover necessary ground. :( As promised, here are the links to the...

I made that observation, while doing PHP TDD-style, in my previous post . In this interview with Dave Astels and Steven Baker , they also note that TDD is a necessity in dynamic languages such as Ruby. Let me quote: It (the compiler, in statically-typed languages) is, it's testing that you are passing...

OK, so now it's time to "walk the talk." I'll be demo-ing here how to develop a user login facility test first -- how you can begin a test, then code your class to pass that test. Then we'll add one feature or behavior at a time until we completely fulfill the specifications or requirements. Hopefully...

While I was mulling over what to demo for test-first development here in this blog, I chanced upon this CodeProject article . What do you think about this? Actually the same problem was the one I demoed in my previous MSDN Connection events for Microsoft Philippines some months back. I've gotten tired...
