As always, it was a real pleasure to talk at Skills Matter yesterday. Thanks to everyone who attended the talk. There was quite an interest in this talk, and we might do a re-run for the people who could not make it this time. If you’d like to attend a re-run of the talk soon, drop an e-mail to the organisers and I’ll be happy to do it if there is enough interest.

Here are the slides from the talk. The video should be online at skillsmatter.com soon as well (subscribe to the RSS feed to get notified about that).

These are the links that I mentioned in the talk:

• Spring/Hibernate rollback example
• DbFit project pages on FitNesse.info

You might also be interested in checking out Scott Ambler’s agiledata.org site.

I’m doing a talk on effective test driven database development this Thursday in London (near Farringdon station, stating at 18:30). I’ll talk about unit testing stored procedures, test data management and best practices for java/.net integration testing that involves a database. In the talk I’ll also give a technical demo of my DbFit database unit testing library that provides DB management/unit testing capabilities to FIT/FitNesse.

The event will be organised by Skills Matter, and it is free but registration is required. For more info, see:

See you on Thursday!

Here’s the video from last week’s Effective .NET Test Driven Development FitNesse workshop. The workshop focused on introducing agile acceptance testing and working with FitNesse, with best practices and ideas how to use fixtures efficiently. The recording is about two hours long.
