There was a bunch of good things to see at this years Devoxx. My personal highlights are ScalaTest (you definitively want to look into this when testing concurrency in any java code ... the best way to test different race scenarios I've seen so far). Another highlight was the amount of work done on JavaFX yet. The new UI for the clickable gui builder shown briefly by Tor ... surely you remember...

A new Java Power Tools Newsletter is out! In this issue, we study the theory and practice of Mock Objects, including the subtle differences between mocks and stubs, and a simple case study using Mockito, the new kid on the block of Mock Objects frameworks for Java. Check it out!

4 New Screencasts: LWUIT, JDTF, JSR 290, and JavaCard Our documentation team has put together four brand-new screencasts on current subjects. They are 5 minutes each in length and a great way to get introduced quickly to the highlights of each topic. I encourage you to have a look: LWUIT (Lightweight User Interface Toolkit) screencast A 5-minute overview to jump-start your understanding of LWUIT...

I am absolutely thrilled to anounce that I will be talking at the Canberra JUG meeting next week (on Wednesday, September 9, to be exact), about BDD in general, and Easyb and JDave in particular: Behaviour-Driven Development, or BDD, is an excellent development strategy that can help bridge the traditional gap between requirements and implementation. This talk will go discuss the basic...

At JavaOne this year I did a short talk on using JMX in test-driven development. It's based on what I discovered working with JMX on another project, and delved deeper into while adding JMX support to SomnifugiJMS as part of release 21. Test-driven development worked extremely well when combined with JMX. JMX should help testing systems with some defined life cycle. Here's the core ideas of the talk, written out, with real examples, not mashed onto slides.

Let's not be pedantic. Write unit tests before you code a method, or after it - in my experience, it matters little, as long as you think about and write the tests at roughly the same time as you write the code. It's coming back to do the tests later (or not coming back at all) which causes problems. Personally, I like to write unit tests just before or immediately after writing small chunks...

Hamcrest is a great little library for making your unit tests more concise and more readable, but sometimes there are a few surprises...

The ultimate aim of writing software is to produce a product that satisfies the end user and the project sponsor (sometimes they are the same, sometimes they are different). How can we make sure testing helps us obtain these goals in a cost-efficient manner?
