Fluent NHibernate Solution to enable SchemaExport to create HiLo colum(anthonydewhirst.blogspot.com)

submitted by FlukeFan(279) 3 months, 20 days ago

Selective Unit Testing – Costs and Benefits(blog.codeville.net)

submitted by desmond(2014) 2 years, 6 months ago

Test Driven Development is widely regarded as a hallmark technique of professional software development, but should you really do it all the time? Steve Sanderson argues that unit tests yield significant practical business value only for certain kinds of code. This blog post suggests what might be the underlying forces that determine whether unit tests will justify the long-term expense of creating and maintaining them.
