I had a really great time today at Tesco.Com — thanks for inviting me to talk about acceptance testing and thanks again for the champagne. Here are the slides and links from the talk:

• L.G.Shattuck — Communicating Intent and Imparting Presence
• William Crain — The Mission: The Dilemma of Specified Task and Implied Commander’s Intent
• James Shore: How I use Fit
• FitNesse.Org — main FitNesse web site
• Fitnesse.info — Community site with lots of examples
• Fixture gallery — copy-paste examples for all important FIT fixture types

Earler this year I published my first book, Test Driven .NET Development with FitNesse. Instead of working with an established publisher, I decided to self-publish the book using a print-on-demand service. The journey to get the book from the early concept to a printed copy that someone can buy from Amazon was, without a doubt, at the same time one of the most exhausting and one of the most fulfilling experiences in my career. Here is what I’ve learned from it. Continue Reading »

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 »

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.
