I got this question from a blog reader recently:

I just wanted your opinion on SLIM as opposed to standard FIT/Fitnesse. Are there things that can only be done via the FIT/Fitnesse route that cannot be done via SLIM? So for acceptance tests and integration tests can I just use SLIM?

We want to exploit the BDD abilities of Scenario tables in SLIM. Ideally I would like to use SLIM to undertake all kinds of tests. I assume it has all the same capabilities? Are there any issues?

Here is the video from my recent presentation “SLIM and the future of FitNesse”. In this talk, I introduce SLIM, the new FitNesse test runner, compare it to FIT and demonstrate its basic features. You can also download the slides

Thanks to everyone who attended my presentation Slim and the future of FitNesse at QCon London 2009 today. You can grab the slides from here.

I’m covering QCon in detail on this blog. See other news and reviews from the conference

I’ll be giving three talks on FitNesse and agile acceptance testing over the next few months – if you are in London, you might want to come by (and say hi and have a beer after the event).

FitNesse.NET tips and tricks

The talk will cover best practices, common pitfalls and some advanced techniques for using FitNesse in the .NET environment that will help you save time and effort when writing and automating acceptance tests. This is a session for .NET developers with some previous exposure to FitNesse.

Slim – The future of FitNesse

This talk will introduce Slim, the most important upgrade to FitNesse in years. Slim is the new test runner which promises to bring platform interoperability, easier integration, a much simpler programming model and lots of small helpers that will allow us to write and maintain executable specifications and acceptance tests easier. This is a session for .NET and Java developers. Some prior exposure to FitNesse and FIT would be beneficial, but not required.

The two events at skills matter are free but up-front registration is required for capacity planning.

Here’s an implementation of the Slim test runner for Fitnesse that wraps all tests into spring transactions and rolls back on the end of each test, to make data-driven tests instantly repeatable with minimal code and no configuration changes in the fixtures or the Spring context. Continue Reading »
