This video shows how to use the power of Test-Driven Development and event-driven paradigm for building JavaScript applications to steer the architecture towards loosely coupled, component based system. Read more

Test-Driven JavaScript

Published November 8th, 2010 Under JavaScript | Leave a Comment

Javascript becomes much more important to interactive website development then before (ok it has been for a while already) but the notion of testing that logic seems even further fetched then testing the code written in C#, Java. And this is something that is wrong as well. How do you test drive your javascript development, what do you need to think about to make it testable? How can you deal with timers, async calls and the dom. Demonstrate all these things including how easy it is to make your own fakes for testing. Demonstrate the refactoring and changing behaviour becomes so much easier.And not to forget that the design of the code is much better as well. Basically that you gain all the benefits that TDD gives you in other languages also when doing TDD for javascript development

Test-Driving GUIs (with RubyCocoa)

Published May 12th, 2009 Under Open Source Tools | Leave a Comment

Test-driven design is probably more popular in the Ruby community than in other language communities. Nevertheless, test-driven design of graphical user interfaces is still seen as something of a black art. In this talk, I’ll demonstrate how to test-drive a Mac GUI, using either RubyCocoa or MacRuby. I’ll concentrate on opening a File Chooser, then move to drag-and-drop (if there’s time). Along the way, you’ll also see Shoulda, Assert{2.0}, and some hackery on top of FlexMock. Although the Mac’s GUI framework is probably friendlier to test-driven design than most, the principles should be broadly applicable.
