Last month’s debut of The Stelligent Early Quality Podcast Series was a groovy hit and we’re pleased to announce another edition for this month which focuses on Test Categorization. These short podcasts are sure to give you a laugh, but we also hope you'll find them educational! Please send us your comments too!
We’re pleased to announce that Stelligent’s CTO, Paul Duvall, will be authoring a series of articles on IBM’s developerWorks that focus on software development automation. Stay tuned to articles on Continuous Integration tools, feedback mechanisms and platform architecture.
The Quality Labs team has released a new version of NDbUnit, which is a .NET library that facilitates placing a database into a known state. This framework can be used to increase repeatability within developer tests that interact with a database by ensuring that the database’s state is consistent across the execution of tests. Also too, they've created an Ambient Orb Ant Task project - see below for more information!
Don't forget- we’re hiring! If you or someone you know is passionate about software quality, then we want to talk to you! Feel free to email resumes to
Now, when a build event occurs, like failing tests or even a failed build, rather than receiving yet another email, the Ambient Orb device changes color. How’s that for cool? The Ambient Orb Ant task is hosted at Quality Labs.
Learn what thousands of people already know: the Test Early blog is the place to GO; for valuable insights and practical code examples for building quality early into the development lifecycle.
Whether you are using .NET, Java, or a dynamic language like Python, Groovy, or Ruby, there's always something you can find on early quality at the Test Early blog.
Disco pioneers Andrew Glover and Paul Duvall produced a new podcast on early software quality regarding Test Categorization and, of course, they've done it with a hip twist. As always, you'll enjoy hearing these copasetic cats find creative ways of injecting '70s vernacular into a technical discussion.
Quality Labs, which is an open-source repository sponsored by Stelligent and JNetDirect, has released a new version of NDbUnit. The 1.2 release addresses some enhancements and bug fixes. Full .NET 2.0 support is still being worked out; however, the framework appears to work without changes in most scenarios. See the forums for specific details.
This release had some excellent input from some new team members. Thanks guys!
The sixth article in IBM developerWorks’ series "In Pursuit of Code Quality,” by Stelligent President Andrew Glover, explores three important ways to measure code complexity based on method length, class length, and intra-class coupling.
