Via Brian Marick:

Jim Shore has started the fit-users mailing list.

"This list is for general discussion of Fit. Appropriate topics include how to use Fit on your project, fixtures, and approaches to test-driven development using Fit. Direct discussion of Fit development to fit-devl@lists.sourceforge.net."

Precision & Accuracy

This came across this on the IXP list today from Don Wells and I thought it was one of the better descriptions of precision and accuracy.

One thing we all need to remember when talking about metrics is the difference between accuracy and precision.

Consider a yardstick that I take and cut a foot off of.  I then repaint it and put the markings back on.  So I have a yardstick that is only 2 feet long instead of 3 feet.  This yardstick is not accurate but it is precise.
