James, I would love to see you take the idea of “SharpMock” to the next level . If not anything else, it would be an interesting challenge to write about. James took PostSharp and started looking at the possibility of intercepting static method calls...(read more)

Isolator feature focus: Recursive Fakes

ISerializable - Roy Osherove's Blog : Agile — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 22:17:05 GMT

Here’s another feature Typemock Isolator has that no one else currently has: the ability to return fake objects from properties recursively (without the use of an auto mocking container for such a feat). this saved a lot of reperitive test code of creating...(read more)

BDD: Behavior vs. Spec Frameworks

ISerializable - Roy Osherove's Blog : Agile — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 21:49:01 GMT

In my search to understand a little more about BDD and BDD frameworks, one gem that I gleaned is that there is an important distinction between “Spec” and “Behavior” frameworks. “Spec” is intended for the unit level granularity (like unit tests) and Read...(read more)

Here is one feature that sets Typemock Isolator apart from all the other frameworks, that has nothing to do with legacy code: Live Objects. This feature allows you to just “new” up an instance of an object, if you can, and then fake method results on...(read more)

Unit Testing decoupled from TDD as well== Adoption

ISerializable - Roy Osherove's Blog : Agile — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 13:27:22 GMT

The discussion on the future of unit testing for the masses has shifted from the standard “if they are too stupid to learn it, we don’t want them” to “TDD without good design will make really bad tests”. and this is a good thing. it’s a good thing because...(read more)

הקורס בספטמבר נגמר והבא בסוף אוקטובר

Danko — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 07:31:00 GMT

הקורס הראשון היה מדהים

היו מלא אנשים שאני מכיר כבר שנים שרצו לקבל הסמכה פורמלית ומרבית האנשים עצמם הגיעו עם ניסיון בסקראם מה שגרם לקורס להיות מאתגר מאוד לכולם

והכי חשוב למדנו הרבה והיה כייף לא רגיל

כמובן כמובן שכולם הוסמכו כסקראם מאסטרים בסוף הקורס

זו ממש היתה פריבילגיה של קורס ואתם יכולים להתרשם גם מהקליפ

הקורס הבא בסוף אוקטובר אם גם אתם רוצים להיות סקראם מאסטרים אתם יודעים איך להשיג אותי

Over Specification in Tests

ISerializable - Roy Osherove's Blog : Agile — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 10:23:07 GMT

I've gotten the chance to visit and consult various companies and I see this all the time: Over specification in tests, especially when doing mocks and stubs . One main reason for that is that people use their stub as a mock object (stubs are fake...(read more)
