The first public beta release of Trinidad is now available. Trinidad is an in-process test runner for FitNesse tests. Here are some nice things you can do with it:

• run fitnesse fit and slim tests without starting the server as part of your build
• run fitnesse tests from JUnit within your IDE
• debug and troubleshoot fitnesse fixtures as if you were working with unit tests
• easily include fitnesse acceptance tests into your build (through JUnit)
• easily run tests in transactions and roll back after each test (with Spring)

For example, here is how you can run an entire FitNesse test suite from JUnit

public class JUnitExampleFitTest {
	JUnitHelper helper;
	@Before
	public void initHelper() throws Exception{
		helper=new JUnitHelper(new TestRunner(
				new FitNesseRepository("target/test-classes"),
				new FitTestEngine(),
				"/tmp/test-output"));
	}
	@Test
	public void runSuite() throws Exception{
		helper.assertSuitePasses("JavaExamples");
	}
	@Test
	public void runSingleTest() throws Exception{
		helper.assertTestPasses(
                   "JavaExamples.CommonExamples.SetUpFixture");
	}
}

At the moment, Trinidad only supports Java FIT/Slim, but .NET is in plan soon. For download links, usage instructions and examples, see http://fitnesse.info/trinidad.

One of the teams I work with at the moment needs a few more people. The project is a new generation gaming server, the location is west-central london. we’re looking for two mid-level server side java developers (3-5 years experience or more). 100% agile, zero politics. ping me if this sounds interesting. (no agencies, please)

This Tuesday I’m doing a talk on deployment challenges and applying DDD with distributed systems. Topics that will be discussed include strategies for dealing with latency and limitations of web layers, common pitfalls of ORM, avoiding anemic domains, effective storage strategies, integrating with infrastructure and common software packages used to solve these problems.

The talk will be in central London (skills matter), and it is free to attend, but up-front registration is required. For more info and to register see the skills matter web site.

Just looked at google analytics for my blog. December was a really good month, the site had 76,544 unique visitors! Thank you all for coming here and I hope you continue to find it interesting!
