Andrew Dassing and Dean Wampler posted a few e-mails to the FitNesse mailing list recently hinting at what will be the new features in the upcoming FitNesse release. According to Dean’s e-mail, we can expect a new release in the next couple of weeks. Some of the changes will make it much easier to edit and manage complex test pages, and there are quite a few shortcuts to make page editing more efficient. Here are the changes that I found the most interesting: Continue Reading »

I read about Wordle on a mailing list recently and decided to try it out. It is a web based app that produces word clouds from text — a really nice way to summarise large chunks of texts and show visually what they are about. Here’s a dump of the introduction chapter of my book Test Driven .NET development with FitNesse.

I really enjoyed talking about Developing Ajax web applications with Castle Monorail yesterday at Skills Matter.

Here are the downloads and links that Dave and I promised to put online: Continue Reading »

Mike Stockdale just released a new version of FitNesse.NET. The new features in this release mostly expand the domain adapter functionality, allowing programmers to map fixtures directly to domain objects and write less code. For more information, see release notes.

Fixture Gallery 2.0 is immediately available for download from SourceForge. Fixture Gallery is a cookbook for FIT/FitNesse tests. It provides developers with a quick overview of the most important fixture types and concepts for agile acceptance testing using the FIT framework. For each fixture type, this document explains the table format and fixture class structure and provides advice when to use and when not to use it. Each example is accompanied by the source code for Java, .NET and Python FIT implementations, in a form that can be easily copied and used as a template for similar fixtures.

The biggest change in version 2.0 are Python examples for all fixtures and concepts explained in the document. FitLibrary fixtures section is now expanded with examples for ConstraintFixture, CombinationFixture, CalculateFixture and notes about SetFixture and SubSetFixture. Many thanks to Jens Engel and Mike Stockdale for their contributions to this version.
