Sunday, May 23, 2010 5:17 PM mehfuzh Is your test method self-validating ? Writing state of art unit tests that can validate your every part of the framework is challenging and interesting at the same time, its like becoming a samurai. One of the key concept in this is to keep our test synced all the time as underlying code changes and thus breaking them to the furthest unit as possible.  This also means, we should avoid  multiple conditions embedded in a ...

In LINQ is Better Than ForEach, I described how to use the reduce chain refactoring to better describe the functionality of the code. By encapsulating what we were doing, the calling code became more declarative, and the the functionality was more reusable. This didn’t sit well with one reader (more)

I've been trying to put together a link list of things that have helped me improve as a developer over the last couple of years.  This is far from complete, but it's a start.  I'm not saying this is an absolute "you have to know these things" list or that it will work for everyone out there, it's just things I've found to be really helpful for me.  As always, your mileage may vary.  What's helped you the most?

I had a discussion today with a software architect who disagreed with me that LINQ to Objects should be used instead of foreach loops. My claim is that LINQ is better. He says that I shouldn’t make such a blanket statement, because LINQ is inefficient. I stand by my assertion. (more)

recently downloaded a cool fighter plane game (iFighter lite) on my iPhone. As I started playing, I felt that plane is moving a bit slow!! But soon enough I saw a little perk on the screen and I flew over it and suddenly plane's speed increased. Soon enough, enemy planes started attacking me and I shot back at them. But again I felt my bullets were too slow! I shot down few planes and a new perk showed up on the screen. As soon as I collected it, my plane started shooting more bullets per attack!! Yeeee...

Now, for what I learned! I’m going to do 3 posts showing what we went over at the dojo. Part 1, this post, will be only about SpecFlow and how to set it up for your projects. Basically our leader/sensei came in and said pretend you were just handed a user story that says “Visitors to our website will be able to sign a guestbook”. So, with that user story in mind, we setup our SpecFlow. Here’s how: (more)

Getting Results the Agile Way: A Word from the Author This is an excerpt from my latest book, Getting Results the Agile Way.  It's from the A Word from the Author section.  One of my reader's tells me that this was the most impactful prose for them.  I think because it answers the question, "Why did I write this guide?"  This is yet another reminder to me how important it is to lead with your why.

Most of software applications are built to be used by humans, this is why Rich UX is a very important factor in the success or failure of software projects. Rich UX often discussed from the technology perspective, although in my opinion UX requires a process and mentality where the human is at the center, not the technology. Lightweight processes under the Agile umbrella are a great candidate for managing human centric applications with their assertion on feedback and change as a core value. Also valuin... (more)
