| TDD and Java Swing |
| Published: April 25, 2007, 1:41 am |
| Tags: Working Software |
| It’s been awhile since I’ve written any Java Swing code, and doing so now is making me feel a little stupid. Test Driving the development of Swing hasn’t improved much since the last time I did this. Back in 2003, Jeff Waltzer and I decided to experiment with TDDing a Swing application to see if [...] |

| TDD and Exploratory Testing |
| Published: April 9, 2007, 10:22 am |
| Tags: Working Software |
| I’ve often found that Developers and Testers misunderstand each other, even when they have a congenial relationship. (And in some shops, the relationship is anything but congenial.)

| Interface between Domain layer and Persistence layer |

| Tags: Working Software |
| What’s in a name? I happened across Debasish Ghosh’s post “Inject Repositories, not DAOs in Domain Entities” and it triggered a few thoughts.

| It’s all code |

| I’ve never really liked stored procedures. I always put it down to the fact that I’m a programmer, not a database person. I like keeping the functionality in the code. The database is just a place where objects go when they sleep. My current client uses stored procedures for all database reads and [...] |
