High and low about Java and Web programming
Today, as many other days I had assigned myself a task from Jira and started to work. First, by checking what to do and then I started to write the complementary JUnit tests to get the tests to break. Is it not great!? Ofcource, it’s even more fun to be able to write whishful failing [...]
This week I tried these two Eclipse plugins at work.
I wasn’t so happy with EclEmma but maybe I just didn’t get the settings right. Would have been nice to have see the result just by looking at a production code file. Running the coverage tests all the time is going out of the way to [...]
I stated in some earlier post that this year was going to be all about quality. I have started the long road where the goal is mainly the quality of my own work, but I also aim to be a good force and try to help whoever needs it (even if they don’t express it [...]
Took a look at some of the slides from Devoxx08 and found a few very interresting things (http://www.devoxx.com/display/JV08/Conference+slides). Among others, “Zero Turnaround in Java Development - by Jevgeni Kabanov” that you really should act on.
I’m joining a new project this week and I’ll try to add some pressure in this area if I get the [...]
Today we had our sprint demo and it did not turn out very well.
Why? Well, we sometimes lets the code degrade, the builds fail and the status of the first level integration server have all too low priority.
How to solve this?
Run all tests at all times when checking in code.
Have a responsible person at every [...]
Sat down with an 8-hour task today, a junior Java programmer and went all testdriven. It was fun and it went well. It was fun. It went well. Just like it should be working with Java development. I sure hope it was educating also, but I think so.
Maybe I had a good drive for some [...]
How do you make sure you understand the specification? Well, you write a test and then production code and test it to see if it works out in real life. But this is almost always too late to find out that something was missing in the specification or that you enterpreted something wrong. Most of [...]
What?
Well, I’m talking about the stock market and also hours left on the sprint. Out burnrate is for the first time really good, maybe the split into two smaller teams did give a quick result. I’m not sure what will happen with the burnrate when the things inbetween teams are picked up. Or maybe [...]
Any day (one day) now I’m going to sit down and create a post about this topic - where both subtopics really fascinates me and where I want to gain more and more knowledge and experience.
There are quite some simularities - and then I’m not even going to talk about Dogbert… well, maybe a [...]
