Attention, please; Static NUnit variables; Testing a WinForm...

Gordon Weakliem thinks not enough attention is given to people who know how to do test-first: "Searching just now, there are 172 results for Java in the greater Denver area, and only 10 for JUnit. That's 162 companies that don't care if you can write unit tests. These are minimum standards for decent development practices these days. Maybe you should just advertise that you're looking for people who know JUnit and Ant; just asking for Java is setting the bar too low."

James Newkirk explains why variables in NUnit [TestFixture] Classes need to be static.

Thibaut Barrère tests a Windows Form: "Yesterday I started adding test to a windows form application. Until now I only tested non graphic libraries, but was concerned about how to lock the behavior of a graphic application. Graphic applications (both web and non-web) are usually very likely to regress from a functional point of view, and seem to generate a lot of support, maybe because an inspired gui tester has that kind of black magic skills to find new, undiscovered ways to use your application."

Vinny Carpenter discusses the book Expert One-on-One J2EE Development without EJB and highlights the chapter on TDD as one of his favorites.

Ben Curtis finds out about SimpleTest's Partial Mock Objects.

Scott Hanselman shares his list of favorites NUnit add-ins and is ecstatic about TestDriven.NET.

Brian Button keeps the momentum with Part 5 of the series on building a Payroll System test-first: "As promised, we are finally adding the input and output handling stuff. If you can recall from way back in installment one, I chose to implement this stuff last, because it wasn't challenging and it wasn't the core of the problem. In other words, I was pretty sure I could make it work when I had to, so I wasn't worried about it. Well, since the meat of the story is now finished, I need to do my I/O, and here it is." He also gets thrilled by a pair refactoring session with Peter Provost.
