Specification Testing in .NET using Ruby(xerxesb.com)

submitted by xerxesb(60) 3 years, 1 month ago

The purpose of this post is to run through a process which will ultimately allow you to write Ruby based specifications for your .NET code. Why would you want to do this? The intended purpose for this practice is to gain the most benefit when doing BDD. Trying to do BDD in C# results in a lot of syntactical noise in the code which distracts from the goal of having clear, readable specifcations of how the intended function should behave. The advantage of using Ruby is that the scripted nature of the language allows physical (as well as logical) separation of speficiations from code, opening up the realm of possibility that specifications are written by non-technical folk. Furthermore, the Ruby syntax lends itself to building DSLs perfect for the purpose of allowing clean, almost human-readable code. read more...

submitted by gavinjoyce(25.7k) 3 years, 3 months ago

"Writing a collection which is mutable, thread safe and usable is an extremely difficult process. At least that’s what you’ve likely been told all through your schooling. But then you get out on the web and see a multitude of thread safe lists, maps and queues. If it’s so hard, why are there so many examples?" read more...

As you may have noticed, I have become interested in the concept of Object Relational Mapping and the NHibernate framework. One of the more painful/tedious aspects of using NHibernate is hand writing the xml mapping files.

Brackets, braces, parentheses, and other such creatures(davesquared.blogspot.com)

submitted by nrstott(345) 3 years, 9 months ago

An interesting story about a common task in text-manipulation done with TDD. The problem is stated as such: This aim of this challenge was to determine whether any given string has a legal bracket structure. Basically, make sure all the '(', '[', '{', and '<' have matching ')', ']', '}' and '>'. We also need to take nesting into account, so that "({)}" is incorrect, and "({}<{}>)" will pass. read more...
