Visual Studio Team System #20: How Do I: Use Generic Tests?

Visual Studio Team System #20: How Do I: Use Generic Tests?

Posted in Companies, Development, Broadcasting, Frameworks, Practices, Microsoft, Screencasts, .NET Framework, Q&A

A generic test is an existing program that is wrapped and made available as a test in Visual Studio Team System. In this video we see a demonstration of how a wrapped shell program accepts an input value from our test environment and how the program's output value is used to determine whether the test passed or failed.

Testing is Overrated

Testing is Overrated

Posted in Conferences, Development, Practices, Ruby, Q&A

Summary Developer-driven testing is probably the most influential software development technique of the last 10-15 years. There's no question that it has improved the practice of building software. And in a dynamic language like Ruby, it's hard to get by without it. But is it really the best way to find defects? Or is the emphasis on testing and test coverage barking up the wrong tree?
