Writing Great Unit Tests: Best and Worst Practises(blog.codeville.net)

submitted by desmond(2014) 2 years, 9 months ago

A suite of good unit tests is immensely valuable: it documents your design, and makes it easier to refactor and expand your code while retaining a clear overview of each component’s behaviour. However, a suite of *bad* unit tests is immensely painful: it doesn’t prove anything clearly, and can severely inhibit your ability to refactor or alter your code in any way. How can you be sure to write unit tests that contribute positively to your project and don't end up being a liability? read more...

Code is Not That Important, Marketing Is(itscommonsensestupid.blogspot.com)

submitted by nsoonhui(1810) 2 years, 9 months ago

When I was in my early days as a software developer, I thought that the most important aspect for a software product organization, was software development. Code was everything and the single determiner of the success. But as I grow in maturity ( meaning suffering enough bumps on head), I gradually come to the realization that the above just-improve-your-code-and-you-do-fine theory is a total nonsense read more...

Does RentACoder.com Work?(itscommonsensestupid.blogspot.com)

submitted by nsoonhui(1810) 2 years, 11 months ago

A lot of people ranted against online consulting sites- such as Elance, guru, RentACoder and so on. Of course, given that the bids on those websites are ridiculously low ( at least by developed world's standard), one would tend to assume that the quality would vary proportionally with the bids. Whether you think those websites are cannibalizing the software craft, or whether online consulting sites are a force that flattens the world, one thing is certain: online consulting sites work. read more...

LINQ to SQL is NOT dead!(jonkruger.com)

submitted by david_holland(605) 2 years, 11 months ago

Ever since Microsoft announced that the Entity Framework was their ORM of choice, people everywhere have been saying, “LINQ to SQL is dead!” A lot of people feel like they’re not allowed to use LINQ to SQL anymore and that they have to use Entity Framework instead. In fact, LINQ to SQL is not only alive and well, Microsoft has even announced LINQ to SQL improvements in .NET 4.0, including finally adding using ITable<T> for tables instead of Table<T>, which makes it much easier to test. Combine that with this open source tool that will create an IDataContext interface for you and you’re on your way to testable LINQ to SQL. So no, LINQ to SQL is not dead!! read more...
