Submitted by Antony Marcano on Mon, 24/11/2008 - 00:06. FIT/FitNesse | programmingI've been secretly working on something... well, it's not that much of a secret... It's a new Fit Fixture for Given/When/Then acceptance tests (or BDD style tests). Andy Palmer and I have been writing it in what spare time we have...
Part of it involves finding classes (potentially written by someone else), instantiating them and returning them for use... Today we took the class that does that and refactored it to death... until it looked like this.

Examining the validity of Inversion of Control
Submitted by webmaster@testdriven.com (Links) on Sat, 12/02/2005 - 08:56. programmingInversion of Control (IOC) through injection also known as Injection IOC has not been a designer or programmer friendly pattern. Many question its validity and the validity of IOC in general. IOC seems to be a contradiction to the fundamental concept of object encapsulation. Context IOC is a new approach that attempts to capture Inversion of Control as a pure design pattern to demonstrate that IOC is indeed a very powerful concept.

Three books
Submitted by Brian Marick's blog on Mon, 07/02/2005 - 10:30. agile | FIT/FitNesse | programming | test automationI'd read chunks of Michael Feathers' book, Working Effectively With Legacy Code, before publication, but it's only on the lastfew plane rides that I've read it straight through. It's really good: gobs of experience distilled, delivered in a consistently readable style and with an encouraging, even gentle, tone.

Submitted by webmaster@testdriven.com (Links) on Sun, 30/01/2005 - 01:20. programmingScriptom is an optional Groovy module developed by Guillaume Laforge leveraging the Jacob library (JAva COm Bridge). Once installed in your Groovy installation, you can use a wrapper to script any ActiveX or COM component from within your Groovy scripts. Of course, this module can be used on Windows only.
Scriptom is especially interesting if you are developing Groovy shell scripts under Windows.
