Java Theory and Practice: Testing with Leverage

  Submitted by IdaAshley Java 3 Comments

In this final installment on testing of the three part series, Brian Goetz
examines another technique for smoking out bugs that violate design rules: aspects. The first two installments in this series, Part 1 covering testing in integrated frameworks and Part 2 on testing with leverage, show how static analysis tools like Find Bugs can provide greater leverage in managing software quality by focusing on entire categories of bugs rather than on specific bug instances.

      Those are different articles, although they do cover the same subject. I’d actually prefer such technical articles as opposed to silly opinion pieces (some are good, most are silly) and the usualy Mac OS X vs Windows vs Linux article, “Why I no longer use XXX”, “Is XX the year of the Linux desktop”, “Ubuntu Linux review no. 101”, etc.

      Stop complaining ;)

    See, the problem here is the C# guys simply can’t learn ANYTHING that doesn’t have the MICROSOFT brand on it. Plus, it’s about error handling, and again, the C# programmer is utterly incompetent in error handling.

    That should get some comments going…

    You can’t just post a GOOD ARTICLE and not put the blood in the water.

    The real joke is the C# guys have actually learned “Microsoft’s” Java,

    so, they probably now could start actually writing and USING JAVA. Except for the fact that Microsoft doesn’t actually teach Object Oriented Programming so C# guys will really write some Bad Java. But, on the question of learning advanced techniques, they could, in theory, benefit from articles like these…
