    Yesterday evening I found a set of Google blog posts talking about web application acceptance testing which reflect Google experience through “Several years of experience across multiple project teams”. This reflect lot of points I brought into our discussions either at Innoveo or Jobping; best practices, screen/page object, dev. language, recording/coding, BDD.. Here are the blog posts: Survival techniques for acceptance tests of web applications (Part 1) Survival techniques for web ap...

    I was thinking to myself about how I wanted to format dates in a particular project recently. I said, "Self, is it wrong to use an extension method inside a view to do this?" I was clearly distracted with something else, so I didn't answer, but then The Gu did the Twitter to this gem by a guy named Chris, and he says it would not be cool. I want to make a case for two things. The first is all the cons that come up in Chris' approach (despite otherwise being a great set of rules), and second, ...

    After I posted my last post about my JavaScript bundler utility, I had a few comments from people who made comments that I needed to better integrate it into an ASP.NET or ASP.NET MVC application. I had approached the problem from the standpoint of a build. I wanted an executable that could be pointed at a series of files during a build, or some other automated process, and perform all of the work involved in minifying, combining, and compressing my JavaScript and CSS. I started thinking about...

    Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 was released this week and one of the first things that I hope you notice is that it no longer contains the latest version of ASP.NET AJAX. What happened? Where did AJAX go? Just like Sting and The Police, just like Phil Collins and Genesis, just like Greg Page and the Wiggles, AJAX has gone out of band! We are starting a solo career.

    Let’s start with a quick recap: Unit tests test individual software components. They supply mocks or fake versions of dependencies (such as a database) so that the unit test doesn’t rely on any external code and any failures can be pinpointed exactly. Unit testing is central to Test Driven Development – the entire TDD process is [...]...
