I already had the book xUnit Test Patterns: Refactoring Test Code on my Amazon wishlist. But after reading Sam Gentile's xUnit Test Patterns and evolving TDD and test automation post today about the book and its topics I've decided to go ahead and order it now. I still have 3 books that I am currently reading ( 1, 2, 3 ) but this will jump to the front of the line when it arrives. EOF Technorati tags: TDD, xUnit, Test Patterns...

Here is a simple example, lets try and find the following address: 240 St. Joseph Ave, 94115. Live Maps / Live Local / Local Live / Virtual Earth finds it with no errors or warnings. Yahoo Local Gets the right location after using the closest match "240 Saint Josephs Ave, San Francisco, CA 94115". Web 1.0 Mapquest can't find the address but it does suggests the correct location. Ask Maps & Directions can't find the address but focuses the map on the correct zip code. Google Maps can't find the...

Thanks to Andrew Stopford and everyone else who works on MbUnit development. MbUnit 2.4 was just released. If you are not unit testing or practicing TDD in your projects, I don't know how you could choose plain old NUnit over MbUnit. If you are using regular NUnit it is very simple to convert your projects MbUnit, they use the same [Test] attribute. MbUnit has: Row Testing: [RowTest] [Row("Hello")] [Row("Goodbye")] public void TestString( string myString ) { // do your tests in here... }More row...

When you first use a new piece of software do you trust it right away, or does it need to earn your trust? The same goes for the code you write, are the kind of person who just re-reads some code and says "it will work" or do you doubt yourself until your unit tests are complete and all passing? I'm the untrusting type, and when it comes to my code I rarely trust my unit tests at first. If I can't write perfect code on the first attempt (like all people), how can I think that my first attempt at...

My team has been working on and off all week trying to find out why one of our windows services was crashing at the same time every day with a very unhelpful eventlog message. Like all good errors, a search on the error message returns many results where people get the same message but for a bunch of different reasons and where many of the search result threads are left unanswered. This service was first developed in .NET 1.1 way before I joined the company (only 5 months ago). It had been running...
