I''ve decided that I want to use more automated tests because I''ve been intrigued by the idea of BDD. I am new to using tests, so I''m curious if there have been any writeup on using rSpec. This is one of the only ones I''ve found: http://blog.teksol.info/articles/2005/11/17/building-a-plugin-on-rspec It seems that the benefit of BDD is that it makes it easier to use tests in...

...are experienced Agile developers. What would be some good things to focus on for this brown bag? Are there slides to presentations that would be useful? Any resistance/skepticism, and how to best address these concerns? I''m kindof nervous because there is some skepticism toward rspec and BDD. Mainly: - Test::Unit already does that, so why do we need rspec? - It''s not production ready. (Stack traces are too cluttered for RspecOnRails; although this opinion was based on version 0.6) - New people will be confused seeing rspec code (although this is solved by more...

Hi everyone, We went ahead a created a BDD mailing list in Google to talk towards BDD and how it can be applied to just software development in general (language agnostic). We try to mediate the usage of language syntax but occasionally it creeps up in there. We would love to have Ruby BDD''rs (is that a word) lend their perspecti...

I posted a quick screencast demonstrating some BDD with RSpec yesterday: http://wincent.com/a/about/wincent/weblog/archives/2007/05/ behaviourdriven.php I''m a C/Objective-C programmer who knows a bit of Ruby, almost nothing about Rails, and in BDD I can really only claim "new but interested" status. It''s not scri...

<http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=10368> Came across this as a stub page browsing Amazon UK. This is good news! I''m surprised it hasn''t been discussed on the list before. Was Chad keeping it a secret? I hope it will have plenty of BDD theory. I''m still waiting for that magic book I can give to someone and say "here - read this, it tells you how to build software".

...ent category of alias analysis, I think the implementation of such an analysis, that trades off computational efficiency for a more precise computation of aliasing would be a beneficial addition to the LLVM project. In terms of which algorithm to actually implement, I am considering implementing a BDD based algorithm, possible candidate include: Whaley + Lam [2] which simply clones points on the call-graph to generate different contexts and then performs a context insensitive analysis. This uses BDDs to reduce memory consumption. Zhu [3] Which utilises a BDD base approach for a custom context...

Hi I hope this is not OT. I''m training my replacement at work to do BDD Rails development. He''s done a CS/maths degree but has no professional programming experience, so he''s never NOT done a project without BDD. In a way I am jealous of his unspoilt situation :) I''ve gone about things this way: * first teach him some Ruby (he did...

Hello, and Happy News Year from France J Since 4 month I'm trying to configure Samba 3 on an Ubuntu server 10 to replace a W2k server. The client software is used over Windows XP vista and seven. This software use smb for a flat file (.dbf) share for 9 users the new server is more powerful the old one but I think that the Oplocks options are causing high latencies in the request.

I''ve notice that a project like Rubinius has both a spec & a test directory. Rspec has only a spec directory. Obviously I support BDD, but isn''t there also a place for state based/verification testing? I sometimes sense that I *do* want to practice Test Driven Development. That is, I want some assurance that my production code will run as intended. But I also want some verification of a bug right after I have i...

...low). Whatever our trials and algorithms, even subsetting data (to check if some singular point was the cause of the mess), we do not reach convergence... or screw up with singular gradients (?) etc... eg: nls(pourcma~SSlogis(transat, Asym, xmid, scal), start=c(Asym=30, xmid=0.07, scal=0.02),data=bdd, weights=sqrt(nbfeces),trace=T,alg="plinear") As anyone a hint about an alternate approach to fit a model ? Or an idea to get evidence that such model cannot be fitted to the data.... bdd <- structure(list(transat = c(0.0697, 0.13079, 0.314265, 0.241613, 0.039319, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.0...

...k search. That said... I''ve been positively thrilled with RSpec for use outside of Rails. It has been in my attempts to use it within Rails that I have begun to question whether and how it can buy me much more than Test::Unit. I recently began using RSpec to drive the design, in BDD fashion, of a Rails app. Believing that behavior is best measured from the user''s experience, I started by writing a View spec. I considered this a top-down approach. Were I still using Test::Unit, I likely would have started in the same place that I usually do out of habit: t...

While the spirit of BDD is to spec first and code second, many of us have legacy code. Worse, some of us have legacy code without very good coverage. Recognizing that *I* have such code, I created a script that grinds through your .rb files and creates placeholder specs for each public method. While it is more se...

I read the Ed Gibbs blog posting on BDD, and there was a reference to implementing the game Deflexions as a way of learning about expectations... I''d like to do this exercise, can you provide me with the details (starting points, objectives, etc...) Thanks! Dominique -----------------------------------------------------------...
