Is Code Coverage Really All That Useful?(kevinwilliampang.com)

submitted by kpanghmckpanghmc(2055) 3 years, 6 months ago

Test driven development proponents often tend to push code coverage as a useful metric for gauging how well tested an application is. 100% code coverage has long been the ultimate goal of testing fanatics.

Unity - Dependency Injection and Inversion of Control Container(dotnethitman.spaces.live.com)

submitted by misbaharefinmisbaharefin(845) 3 years, 8 months ago

Dependency injection is a programming technique to reduce component coupling. Dependency injection is also commonly known as “inversion of control” or IoC or sometimes as The Hollywood Principle - "Don’t call us, we’ll call you”. The goal of dependency injection is to separate the concerns of how a dependency is obtained from the core concerns of a boundary.

This happened because UML was pushed in a direction that most code writers don’t like: it started to look a lot like bureaucratic paper work. read more...

The Onion Architecture(jeffreypalermo.com)

submitted by terrbleterrble(1665) 3 years, 9 months ago

The fundamental rule is that all code can depend on layers more central, but code cannot depend on layers further out from the core. This architecture is unashamedly biased toward object-oriented programming, and it puts objects before all others. read more...
