NHibernate: Testing The Performance Urban Legend

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 20:01:10 GMT

I wanted to challenge the dogmatic urban legend passed down from .NET developer to .NET developer since the classic ASP days. That dogma simply states you should always access your database via stored procedure for "performance reasons". Inline SQL is BAAAAAAD. So I fired up Visual Studio, created a class and started writing tests.

Getting Started with Test Driven Development

Mon, 14 Jan 2008 01:01:46 GMT

"Few days ago I started a poll on www.KoffeeKoder.com where I asked which tool do you use for testing your applications. Surprisingly, most of the people are not using any tool for testing. This means that there are more and more applications being developed which are destined to be failed. In this article I will talk about test driven development hoping that more and more developers start using TDD and see how it benefits the application."

Test-Driven Development for Embedded Software

Mon, 08 Oct 2007 11:34:09 GMT

Despite a prevalent industry perception to the contrary, the agile practices of Test-Driven Development and Continuous Integration can be successfully applied to embedded software. We present here a holistic set of practices, platform independent tools, and a new design pattern (Model Conductor Hardware - MCH) that together produce: good design from tests programmed first, logic decoupled from hardware, and systems testable under automation. Ultimately, this approach yields an order of magnitude or more reduction in software flaws, predictable progress, and measurable velocity for data-driven project management. We use the approach discussed herein for real-world production systems and have included a full C-based sample project to illustrate it.
