Many people enjoy splitting testing up in a myriad of test types: Acceptance Tests, Functional Tests, Integration Tests, Performance Test, Technical Tests, Unit Tests. I have myself been guilty of such terminology as “embedded integration tests” and “requirement tests”. However, what unites the tests are more important than what divides them. The divisions are fuzzy, and they should be. All tests have but two purposes: To tell you if you’ve..
The idea of effective reuse is a pervasive one. Software organizations have searched for ways to avoid “reinventing the wheel” for as long as there has been a software industry. But all research on research on reuse indicates that it is much more expensive than people expect. There are a few delicate balances that a reuse effort needs to observe. The ones I’ve notices the most have been Quality versus Expediency and Control versus Evolution..
Inspired by the “Hi, I’m a Mac” ads of Apple, Gregg Pollack and Jason Seifer has made these cute Ruby-on-Rails ads (featuring Ruby-on-Rails versus Java and Ruby-on-Rails versus PHP): Click here to view on YouTube
Working on a PHP project recently, there was the requirement for text localization. The standard way to do this in PHP is to use the standard way to do this in C, which is gettext . I’ve worked with various translation systems, including one I built myself for uboot, involving a hierarchy of languages going from most specific to most “international”, and with each string having a hierarchical id such as “myprogram.errors.disk-full”.
The old uboot code had, amazingly enough, 21k lines of unit tests. But they were not useful unit tests, as one had to run each program individually, and they each had a bunch of (different) prerequisites, such as account_id 3 existing and having an empty inbox, and so on. And with the older tests, their output would be a bunch of print statements (e.g. insert message; print count of messages), and one would have to compare the printed outpu..
Mezclar la versatilidad de JSF con la definición de flujos de negocio de SWF, todo ello con una estética semejante gracias a Tiles? Pues es posible, aunque resulta realmente tedioso y complicado para aquel que es relativamente nuevo a algunas (más bien todas) de estas tecnologías del mundo Java JEE. A esto es a lo que me he dedicado la última semana de trabajo, a intentar comprender el funcionamiento y buscar por Internet la forma de pode....
This was never going to work out. Data transfer interface. Our side in Perl and their side in PHP. Both scripting languages (bad) and not even the same scripting language (incompatible badness). Over the data transfer interface, we are transferring users. Including a code to enable them to unsubscribe from an email newsletter. The first 7 characters of the code identify the users (digits) and the rest of the code is a hex string containin..
After spending more time than I care to indulge trying to get commercial application servers to behave, I finally decided to Do the Simplest Thing that Could Possibly Work, and create a new application server from scratch. Well, not really a full application server. For 90 % of the Java applications out there, all that you really need is Servlets, so I limit myself to that. And not really from scratch.
Classes in modern programming languages can be arranged in hierarchies, e.g. a perl class might be called Uboot::Message::Mail or a Java class com.uboot.message.Mail. In some programming languages (e.g. Perl) one always refers to the class by its full name (such as Uboot::Message::Mail) and never by its leaf name (e.g. Mail). For example: use Uboot::Message::Mail; my $mail = Uboot::Message::Mail->new(); print "it's a mail" if ($mail->isa..
Last night, I worked until after midnight trying to get our application up and running after some seemingly inconsequential changes in Spring-XML configuration. Our application consists of a total of 32 modules (including 6 wars and one “server” module that packages them, and 11 modules that are shared with other projects). Most of these modules have Spring-XML fragments that are included in a few different ways, with the result that a nobo..
Jon “maddog” Hall gave a talk about using Linux thin clients (e.g. the Linux Terminal Server Project) to provide Internet and application access to schools, third-world countries and organizations in general. He specifically noted that thin clients (like the HP Compaq t5125 which only uses 10 Watts of power compared to the 550 Watts used by most computers) could easily provide low-power, high-performance computing on a large scale.

Look at the documentation for the Perl switch statement . Look down the bottom at the “limitations” section. Look at the last limitation. If your source file is longer then 1 million characters and you have a switch statement that crosses the 1 million (or 2 million, etc.) character boundary you will get mysterious errors. The workaround is to use smaller source files.
Here I am, programming using “vi” and, as usual, it’s annoying me. Why am I using it? It’s just occurred to me, I remember from my childhood, my father would come home from work and complain about “vi”. I wonder if my children will use “vi”?
I’m selling my old bogu (kendo armor) on Huuto.net : It has been gathering dust for last couple of years, and now it looks like I won’t be making a kendo comeback because I’m quite taken with Haidong Gumdo . Besides, it is better to de-clutter since I’m moving soon. I originally bought the bogu back in 1999 when I was practicing Kendo in Helsinki University Kendo Club .
This is probably old news to many, but Google Earth is a very nice tool for visualizing flight track logs . I went yesterday to the Helsinki-Malmi airport , intending to go to the traffic circuit for some landing practice with the club’s “ moped Cessna ”. Instead, through the magic of the old airport, my plan was changed into flying another plane for maintenance to Joensuu , 500 kilometers away. I had bought a BGT-11 GPS data logger....
Why does one feel ones so much more in control, when using Firefox, than Internet Explorer? When you select a slow link in Internet Explorer, the whole program hangs for about 1-2 seconds. Firefox doesn’t. Although 1-2 seconds is hardly a large % of ones life, it makes a big difference to the experience one has when using Firefox. Recently I wrote something similar to an IM client (written in Java). It sits on the Windows tray. You can ..
