I have merged DbFit with fitnessedotnet release 1.7.1 and fitnesse (java) release 20080812. I will publish a new official release (1.1) in a few days.

My acceptance tests are running OK. If you are using DbFit at the moment, please take 10 minutes to test the latest beta version and let me know if you encounter any problems, so that I can fix any potential issues before the release. Download the betas from:

dbfit-20080813.jar (java)

dbfit-dotnet-20080813.zip (dotnet)

Ivan Sanchez translated the FIT/FitNesse Fixture Gallery to Portugese. Translation of release 2.1 (2008-08-11) is now online:

• a print-ready PDF
• an executable FitNesse wiki
• a live web site

Fixture Gallery 2.1 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, Python and Smalltalk FIT implementations, in a form that can be easily copied and used as a template for similar fixtures.

Version 2.1 brings Smalltalk examples for all fixtures in the document. I’d like to thank Randy Coulman for providing these examples.

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 »
