Code Digger Session on Channel 9
Submitted by Jonathan de Halleux on Thu, 06/11/2008 - 08:10.Check out the session on Code Contracts and Pex on Channel 9. You will learn about the new cool API to express pre-conditions, post-conditions and invariants in your favorite language – i.e. design by contracts (DbC) for .NET and the new Code Digger experience in Pex, and most importantly how DbC and Pex play well together.
Schools can go away... when we all think alike
Submitted by noreply@blogger.com (Michael) on Thu, 06/11/2008 - 12:06.In a recent blog post, Paul Gerard wants to reject the idea of schools of software testing as defined by Bret here. To me, this means that he belongs to a school of thought that suggests that there shouldn't be schools of thought about software testing. That's different from my school of thought, so I guess we're in different schools of thought, at least on that issue.
Labels, Stereotypes and Schools
Submitted by Paul Gerrard on Thu, 06/11/2008 - 13:02.As usual, I'm grateful to James Bach in commenting on my last post. in a wide-ranging statement, he defends the value of schools of thought. I agree entirely that schools of thought have value. Partly they allow one to compare and contrast aspects of a discipline, particularly where there are differences of opinion, thought, belief, behaviour etc. and heaven knows there's plenty of variety in that regard. Schools also provide a focus for people who think in certain ways, allowing them to share ideas with people of like-mind.
CMG Final Agenda
Submitted by Alexander Podelko on Thu, 06/11/2008 - 21:36. non-functional testing | performance testingCMG Final Agenda (in pdf) is finally available. Online agenda is available too.
Looks like CMG'08 is one more step towards performance testing community. I believe that CMG was the best conference about computer performance for a long time, but now we have significantly more papers related to performance testing and performance engineering. Conference proceedings from 1976 through 2005 are available to the public – probably the largest collection of performance-related papers (and most of them are practical).

How Much Cheese Would It Take To Sink An Elephant?
Submitted by jason@parlezuml.com (Jason Gorman) on Thu, 06/11/2008 - 22:48.Dear folks,
Perhaps some bright spark among you could help me win an argument with a waitress from Belarus. The big question is quite simply this:
How much cheese would it take to sink an elephant?
I'm sure there are all sorts of deeply scientific factors in this question that I and she have not thought about. Like does cheese actualy sink? Does it depend on the kind of cheese? Does it depend on the kind of elephant? And so on.
