And suddenly, there was IDD. By Gil Zilberfeld
I met Richard Fennell face-to-face at The Typemock Partner Academy. In the morning, we had a nice discussion about what motivates developers, and later at the Academy he gave his presentation about how Typemock Isolator helps his business grow. As he talked about using Isolator as a design tool, I finally understood his earlier post …

It seems that the post I wrote yesterday – Unit Tests vs. Integration tests was well heard, Ayende wrote his take on my post his blog. I’d like to begin by saying that no one claimed that a project should have only unit/integration tests. all I’ve said in the previous post is that unit testing …

Unit Tests vs. Integration tests
Ayende has written a short and to the point post about Unit tests vs. Integration tests. An even shorter summery of the post is: Unit tests runs faster but integration tests are easier to write. I believe there is even a greater difference between the two: most of the time integration tests require to set …

Typemock Isolator AAA Futures
Since launching the AAA API for Typemock Isolator last summer, we have put much care and consideration into making sure we are doing things right this time around. There are many considerations we take into account before performing any addition to this API, including Fluency and natural language readability – in my opinion readable tests = …

Why TDD Rocks
Yesterday I had (yet another) realization about the power of TDD. In the latest iteration I’ve been working on adding features onto out new AAA API (see Gil’s recent posts for more info). Feeling in control, I was real confident I was about to finish ahead of time and pick up some tickets from our …

Is the visibility of tested methods important?
We are having quite a discussion lately within Typemock about the importance of the visibility of tested methods. For example, should it really be harder to test a private method? If it is harder, then many developers will opt to change the scope of the tested method to public, even if business wise, it should …

Since I still need to sort my thoughts on the matter (which will be presented in a future post) here’s just a teaser. Oren has …
