I just added my short book review of xUnit Test Patterns – Refactoring Test Code by Gerard Meszaros to our books page.

Happy reading…

This is a presentation I hold in 2010 for bbv Software Services AG. It shows how my team lives Scrum.

I’d be glad to see your feedback in the comments section…

Updated: new version available!

I have compiled two cheat sheets about clean code (the ones mentioned in my post about Code Quality!).

The first covers clean code – code that is easy readable and keeps changeable. The second is about Test Driven Development. Both cheat sheets list principles, patterns, practices and smells.

You can download them here – Clean Code Cheat Sheet V1.3, Clean TDD Cheat Sheet V1.2.

Take a look!

I’d like to read your feedback in the comments section…

Einführung

Scrum, ein agiles Prozess-Framework, wird von Scrum Fanatikern gerne in allen Lebenssituationen appliziert. Daher liegt es nahe, dass Scrum auch auf die Ehe (besonders, beim Lebensbund zweier Scrum Practitioners) Anwendung findet.

Dieses Standardwerk zeigt wie Scrum auf eine Ehe appliziert werden kann.

Agile Fun, scrum

Are you tired of using the object property in MOQ?

Are you tired of declaring a huge amount of local variables to declare complex hierarchies?

…

Have a look at the new Mock.Of<T> feature in MOQ! Let’s see an example.

I’m going to speak about code quality (see my short version of the presentation) at the conference BASTA!

BASTA! is mainly focused on .NET technology and gives you the opportunity to see and speak with a wide range of technology experts.

If you have any feedback of what you are missing in my short presentation, please write a comment here or on the post with the presentation. The short version takes about 30 minutes and my speak at BASTA! is scheduled for 1 hour and 15 minutes.  I will mainly show real life examples of the theory shown in the short version. But if you want to here something specific, ask for it

I’ll probably will publish the long version on this blog, too – for all of you not joining the conference.

So long…

This is a small summarization what the differences are between the different variations creating mocks with mockito.

Null values (default)

Per default, after creating a mock, every method will return null. Just create your mock with:

Sample sample = Mockito.mock(ISample.class);

I think, this is very useful and straight forward. (And based by mockito developers idea, to create very fast a mock for testing). Sometimes it is very difficult to determine an error which was produced through such a null value. For this case it is very practicable to tell mockito, returning SmartNullValues.

I’m glad to announce that I’ll speak at the Lean Agile and Scrum Conference in Zurich on September 7th 2010 about Agile Architecture: From User Stories to Architecture (in german).

There will be great speakers present like Mary Poppendieck and Henrik Kniberg!

Join the conference at http://www.leanagilescrum.ch/veranstaltungen.

Looking forward to see you there…
