Hi guys, I am a brazilian Rails programer and I''ve been working on a Rails project for an american on-line newspaper website. I am in need of a good Rails programmer to help me out write the unit and functional tests for the project. I''ve been kept 100% busy developing application functionality and therefore have had almost no time to write test code. Currently there are around 4000 LOC of application code and 840 LOC of testing code written. A 1:0.2 ratio. We should be getting the site live at the end of this month and until then we expect to have improved this ratio to at least 1:0.8. Therefore, I am seeking a good programmer that knows how to write unit and functional tests for Rails projects. I am expecting a productivity level of 250 LOC/day (beeing just test code, it''s an acceptable productivity level). In the future, I hope to keep the programmer in the project to help write new functionality for the website as well. If anyone''s interested, please contact me at demetrius-fDpYTK8McCzCdMRJFJuMdmHhYuNVXqSN@public.gmane.org Below are the current project statistics as of today: +----------------------+-------+-------+---------+---------+-----+-------+ | Name | Lines | LOC | Classes | Methods | M/C | LOC/M | +----------------------+-------+-------+---------+---------+-----+-------+ | Helpers | 2023 | 1600 | 11 | 116 | 10 | 11 | | Controllers | 1277 | 1056 | 19 | 163 | 8 | 4 | | APIs | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | Components | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | Functionals | 365 | 264 | 32 | 56 | 1 | 2 | | Models | 1690 | 1318 | 28 | 137 | 4 | 7 | | Units | 723 | 577 | 12 | 60 | 5 | 7 | +----------------------+-------+-------+---------+---------+-----+-------+ | Total | 6078 | 4815 | 102 | 532 | 5 | 7 | +----------------------+-------+-------+---------+---------+-----+-------+ Code LOC: 3974 Test LOC: 841 Code to Test Ratio: 1:0.2 Rgds, Dema
This post makes me warm and fuzzy inside. This is a great idea, both from a project quality point of view and as a great way of evaluating possible candidates before letting them produce production code. Best of luck finding someone suitable. P.S: There is still a lot of value to be had from writing the test cases before the production code instead of retrofitting them...

hey Tobias, Why aren''t all the rails docs in Hieraki instead of a wiki? Seems like it would be a lot more productive to have a structure lined up and allow people to contribute specific pages or whole sections - it would also formalize the documentation into one block which is searchable and easily understandable. PHP got that down perfectly: it''s the best manual for a language I have encountered - by far. Lots of user notes, excellent overview of the language, specific API reference with a good flow and lots of examples... TO get an idea of the duplication of effort on the wiki: there a LOTS of places on the wiki where the same documentation problems are discussed: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/RorDocGoals http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/DocumentationWish http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/DocumentationDiscussion http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/ The%20''Middle''%20Documentation%20Problem The first URL is most complete and best. I think it''s time for wiki contribution to be reduced to "sketch area" and a big, serious, proper, useful RoR book to be written with Hieraki with a fixed structure that''s agreed upon with voting or something. (or it could be written in some gawdawful crap like DocBook). We use a reduced XHTML tag subset for binarycloud, so it''s easy to write if you have something like dreamweaver (hand hacking simple XHTML isn''t rocket science either), but not as good for accepting contributions since people need SVN access. We were able to generate PDFs pretty easily with htmldoc. best, _alex -- alex black, founder the turing studio, inc. 510.666.0074 root-16h2cdTTKgpzNNFeSAH1EA@public.gmane.org http://www.turingstudio.com 2600 10th street, suite 635 berkeley, ca 94710
