Folks. I've drawn a blank in my address book looking for a well-qualified TDD coach in the Albany, NY area for a company who are looking to adopt a test-driven approach in the longer term.

Do you - or someone you know - fit the bill? Drop me your details if you might be available on a freelance basis for this sort of gig.

I'll be giving a free evening public talk in Clerkenwell, London for SkillsMatter on 8th September at 18:30pm. The talk is applicable to anyone on an agile team or running agile projects...

Testing is an integral and prominent aspect of agile development, however, new teams form and existing teams prevail with uncertainty about how testers fit into the process. Even those projects that don’t have testers dedicated to them can still feel there is a void in how they ensure that they are building the right product and building the product right.

It's that time of the year where a little refresh of QuickGraph (http://www.codeplex.com/quickgraph) is needed.

What's new?

• New API to add and remove vertices from the graphs
• Important bug fixes in the shortest path algorithms (oops!)
• Support for MSAGL ( http://research.microsoft.com/research/msagl/ )
• QuickGraph.Data, provides data structures build graphs of databases (given a DataSet)
• QuickGraph.Heap, provides data structure to build graphs of SOS managed memory dumps (more later)

Enjoy.

Update: renamed project to YUnit to avoid clashing with other frameworks.

I've been playing with custom test types for team test lately and the result of this experiment is YUnit. A microscopic test framework that lets you write tests anywhere since it only uses the Conditional attribute. That's right, any public static parameterless method tagged with [Conditional("TEST")] becomes a test :)
