| The Latest from Llewellyn Falco's Approval Tests | MORE | | Llewellyn Falco (Approval Tests): What's new in ApprovalTests.Net v.22 ? is here, you can get it on Nuget Here's what's new: UTF8 Support [Contributors: Scott Reed & Maurice De Beijer] Text Files will now work with UTF with (many/most) Diff Tools. ApprovalTests.Net v.22 This basically comes down to making everything UTF8, and including the bom (byte order mark) header in the text files. Backwards compatibility break** This change means version22 of ApprovalTests will break compatibility with previous versions. To adjust for this, when you run your tests, ApprovalTests will check the.approved file and add the UTF8 bom if needed.

DevelopMentor Courses - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 | | The Best from Llewellyn Falco's Approval Tests | MORE | | Using Reporters in Approval Tests The DiffReporter is most often used for this, because you can just right click in your particular differencing tool (TortoiseMerge is shown above, BeyondCompare, WinMerge or KDiff can also be used) and approve the output ‘approve whole file’. Rather than launching the output in any tool, this reporter creates the command-line output needed so that you can move the results file to the approved file quickly. Today I pushed new versions of ApprovalTests for both C# and Java to SourceForge. Updates include new capabilities around the Reporters feature set for ApprovalTests. png, *.html, DevelopMentor Courses - Saturday, December 31, 2011 Tooling stack of testing Asp.MVC Views “Craftsmen know their tools” At last weeks Jim Counts did a session on Testing MVC Views with ApprovalTests. watch the video here ] While I am always happy to see more ApprovalTesting in the world, I was also impressed with the full tooling stack Jim used throughout the presentation.

DevelopMentor Courses - Tuesday, April 10, 2012 - Approving the Weather
Through the beauty of diff tools not only do we get the large picture of what's going on but the details and granularity of everything that has now changed. How can I test the weather? We have a project where we need to know the weather report. This is possible thru a web API that will give us the weather report. However, we have no control over either the API or the weather. So how do we test this? The traditional approach is to encapsulate all calls to the weather API and then mock it out. The unfortunate part is this doesn't actually test the weather at all. new approach. - I know exactly what I want!
Approvals is another tool to help you write better code and get you closer to exactly what you want Well.sometimes When creating software, customers don't usually know exactly what they want at the beginning. Agile has checkpoints that allow for quick feedback; while the product is under development, customers can see features as soon as they are completed, giving them an opportunity to accept it or to suggest changes. Approvals give developers the same opportunity. As a developer, you may not know exactly what you want. That tends to lead us to a more natural flow of coding. %>

| The Latest from DevelopMentor | MORE | | Agile Clinic: Dear Allan, we have a little problem with Agile. m no fan of Jira, or any other electronic tool but most team use one so nothing odd so far. 'Consider this blog an Agile Clinic. On Friday an e-mail dropped into my mailbox asking if I could help. The sender has graciously agreed to let me share the mail and my advice with you, all anonymously of course… The sender is new to the team, new to the company, they are developing a custom web app for a client, i.e. they are an ESP or consultancy. the Developers work in sprints, estimating tasks in JIRA as they go. Sprints last three weeks, including planning, development and testing. Yikes! Allan Kelly's Blog - Sunday, April 28, 2013 A Roundup of MongoDB Management Tools Back in the early days, there really were no management tools analogous to RDBMS tools (e.g. It’s time to look around and see what management / monitoring tooling is around these days for MongoDB.

The lack of management tools was hurting MongoDB’s adoption in the early days. The news is good. Michael C. Kennedy's Weblog - Monday, April 22, 2013 Requirements and Specifications Having worked through this I conclude that BDD is an excellent specification tool. Now, while BDD and SbE may well give Developers first class specification tools these tools should not be mistaken for requirements tools and shouldn’t be used as such. 'As I was saying in my last blog, I’m preparing for a talk at Skills Matter entitled: “Business Analyst, Product Manager, Product Owner, Spy!” which I should just have entitled it “Requirements: Whose job are they anyway?” and so I’ve been giving a lot of thought to requirements. So I turned to my bookshelves…. nothing. Allan Kelly's Blog - Monday, April 15, 2013 | -
| The Best from DevelopMentor | MORE | - Building Windows Machines in Amazon EC2
All information, source code, and especially tools are provided as is and on a "use at your own risk" basis. Tags: Articles Tools In this article I'm going to give you a simple, step-by-step overview of how to create a Windows 2008 server image in Amazon's Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) infrastructure. Now I must admit I'd rather have found a good tutorial on The Internets or even in a book. Feel free to send me any I missed. My experience is they are either dated or about Linux and so on. First, briefly why does one care about EC2? Here we go. Create an Account. Enable EC2 Features. Michael C. Kennedy's Weblog - Saturday, January 30, 2010 - The NoSQL Movement, LINQ, and MongoDB - Oh My!
The NoSQL movement asks the question: “Is the relational database (RDBMS) always the right tool for data storage and data access?”. You may have to run a transformation tool if you’re making radical data changes, but that’s true in SQL systems as well. To get started, download MongoDB the tools and server here: [link]. Generally I look down upon that sort of development, but for an admin tool it’s just fine. All information, source code, and especially tools are provided as is and on a "use at your own risk" basis. Insanity!” Flat files? Related classes? Michael C. Kennedy's Weblog - Thursday, April 22, 2010 - 11 Killer Open Source Projects I Found with NuGet
All information, source code, and especially tools are provided as is and on a "use at your own risk" basis. Articles ASP.NET NoSQL Open Source Tools Visual StudioSo maybe I'm late to the party, but I recently started playing with NuGet. It's a killer new way to find, install, maintain, and manage references to open source libraries in Visual Studio 2010. Plenty of people have written about it ( Phil Haack and Scott Hanselman for example). Let's just say you should learn about NuGet if you don't know it already. RazorEngine at [link]. YUI Compressor for.Net at [link]. Here you go. Michael C. Kennedy's Weblog - Wednesday, January 19, 2011 - A Roundup of MongoDB Management Tools

Power Tools making it even easier to do Code First development with an existing database. The EF team at Microsoft just release a first CTP of the EF 4.1 Guess it isn’t really code first in that case but database first I did a quick test with an existing database, Northwind to be exact, and it worked pretty well. The only gotcha is you have to make sure the EF4.1 assemblies are available in your project otherwise you will receive the exception below. Adding Ef4.1 is easy though, just download the installer and install them or even better, just add a package reference using NuGet. Enjoy! The Problem Solver - Thursday, May 19, 2011 %>
