When to start using TDD?

The sooner the better!
Guys from Sabre have started teaching TDD to students at The Jagiellonian University.

Great idea!
If anyone needs a volunteer to teach TDD in London – I’m in!

Here is the link to Bartosz’s post about their TDD project in Krakow.

Infinitest and IntelliJ

Infinitest is a very interesting tool for continuous testing. I am looking forward for IntelliJ plugin.

In the mean time
Here is how you can run it in IntelliJ now:

1. Run your tests as usual from IntelliJ
2. Go to console window and copy -classpath x;y;z…
3. Create application run configuration for class org.infinitest.Infinitest as usual and add the copied string to VM parameters field.
4. Run newly created configuration

Enjoy!

Aspect Oriented Programming – real life examples

Some time ago, on my previous blog, I wrote a short series of articles showing real live examples of using AOP. It is time to group them together and share with you again:

• Introduction and caching example Transparent Caching with AspectJ
• Tracing history of bean with AspectJ in 10 minutes
• Retry if failed pattern with AspectJ in 10 minutes
• @Configurable without Spring in 10 minutes

Enjoy!
