Mandersn: update. Just registered for Boston 2013.

My name is Mark Anderson.

I live in Austin, TX.

I attended CITCON in Dallas/Ft. Worth in April of 2007.
I was registered for Denver in 2008, but had to cancel my travel plans.
I just registered for Boston in August of 2013.
I'm looking forward to having CITCON here in Austin in 2014.

I am with Viewtier Systems, makers of [http://www.viewtier.com/products/parabuild/index.htm Parabuild], the Continuous Integration and software build management server.

I am here at CITCON to pitch for Cointinuous Integration and to share best practices that we and our customers have developed over years.

Feel free to contact me at vimeshev@viewtier.com if you have any questions.

Simplifying Mock Object Testing

2008-08-22T21:17:29Z

Mandersn: rv to Revision as of 06:46, 22 August 2007

Facilitated by Tom Adams

== Overview ==
* Tom walked through setting up a unit test using mocks (using JMock 1).
* He demonstrated how hard it can be to read even the most simple interactions due to the amount of scaffolding required
* The group contributed to DRYing up the scaffolding
* A superclass for mock object testing was created to house the simplified scaffolding
* The unit tests became so simple that they appeared to simply be duplicating production code
* [http://adams.id.au/blog/2007/01/simplifying-mock-object-testing/ Tom's original blog entry on the topic]

== Tools people mentioned ==
* JMock 1
* JMock2 wraps “mock” and “controller” in one
** Side effect: need to have some way of explicitly moving from expectation-setting mode and replay mode. JMock2 is closer to the EasyMock style of explicit value seeding and method replay.
* EasyMock
* RMock
* PicoUnit

== Summary / comments ==
* DRY up your mock setup
* Create methods that express intent, e.g. Stack stack = makeMock(Stack.class);
* Put these methods into an abstract testing class (e.g. MockObjecTestCase) for reuse
* Use annotations to further reduce scaffolding and make roles more explicit (auto mocking)
* At some point, the behavioural tests mirror production code and perhaps for non-state-based testing at some point the value is reduced

== Process ==

The example uses jMock 1.2, though the same process has been successfully applied to EasyMock 2.

=== 1. Initial state ===

Creating a class that requires the use of a stack.

TODO

=== 2. Lose the controller, only deal with the mock ===

TODO

=== 3. Pull mocks & subject out as fields ===

TODO

Note. You may need to {{reset()} the mocks between tests if you use a framework such as TestNG that doesn't create a new instance of the test case for each test method (i.e. mocks will share state).

=== 4. Automocking ===

TODO

=== 5. Use a framework that does all this for you ===

If all this is too much hard work, you have a couple of options. Push the code out into a class & delegate or push into a super class and (in JUnit) auto-create from {{runBare()}}.

Even easier, use a framework that does all this for you such as [http://code.googlecode.com/p/instinct/ Instinct] or [http://geekscape.org/static/boost.html Boost].

<pre>
package com.googlecode.instinct.example.stack;

import static com.googlecode.instinct.expect.Mocker12.expects;
import static com.googlecode.instinct.expect.Mocker12.mock;
import static com.googlecode.instinct.expect.Mocker12.same;
import static com.googlecode.instinct.expect.Mocker12.verify;
import com.googlecode.instinct.internal.util.Suggest;
import com.googlecode.instinct.marker.annotate.AfterSpecification;
import com.googlecode.instinct.marker.annotate.BeforeSpecification;
import com.googlecode.instinct.marker.annotate.Dummy;
import com.googlecode.instinct.marker.annotate.Context;
import com.googlecode.instinct.marker.annotate.Mock;
import com.googlecode.instinct.marker.annotate.Specification;
import com.googlecode.instinct.marker.annotate.Subject;

@Context
public final class MagazinePileContext {
@Dummy private Magazine magazine;
@Mock private Stack<Magazine> stack;
@Subject private MagazinePile magazinePile;

@BeforeSpecification
public void setup() {
magazinePile = new MagazinePileImpl(stack);
}

@Specification
void callsPushOnStackWhenAddAMagazineIsAddedToThePile() {
expects(stack).method("push").with(same(magazine));
magazinePile.addToPile(magazine);
}
}
</pre>

== What next? ==

* Annotations for defining the role of the test doubles; mocks, dummies, stubs, etc.
* Better framework support for partials, etc.
* Auto-creation of test subject - if constructor takes fields that are mocked out in the test can auto-create the test subject.
* Auto-injection of Spring/Guice/Pico beans.
* Auto-creation of arrays filled with mocks.
* Auto triangulation - Framework takes care of creating (sensible) random values in order to drive out correct code.
* ...?

== Downsides ==

* Lack of explicitness - as you don't have the code in every test, need to go hunting for how things are created.
* Investment in understanding the mocking infrastructure; lifecycle, etc.
* Need to roll your own or use a non-"standard" framework such as Instict.

What Is The One True LanguageFor Writing Tests

2008-08-22T21:17:18Z

Mandersn: rv to Revision as of 15:42, 29 April 2007 by User:Jtf

What is the '''ONE''' true testing language?

'''What are the barriers to multi-lingual dev/testing?'''
* Willingness to innovate
* Wrong organizational assumptions

'''What are the "enablers" to ease the transition?'''
* a "champion" person for the technology
* radical vs. progressive change steps
* changing the way people think for sustainability
* "evolution vs revolution"

'''What makes a good test language?'''
* expressive
** shows intent
** human readable
** "literate"
* quick to write
* tells you why the tests broke
* easy to maintain/refactor
* facilitates exploratory testing
*no/low "context switch"
* uses a <strike>"full"</strike> "real" language
* natural to extend
* no "mental gymnastics"

'''Change happens when...'''
* Champion can push through the trough of disallusion
* eases pain
* it goes into the ditch
* changes thought patterns
* compelling value
* demonstrated value
* timing
* effective evangelist
* introduced by respected thought leader
* information widely available and shared

What is the right mix of practices and tools for introducing CI

2008-08-22T21:17:08Z

Mandersn: rv to Revision as of 20:54, 31 October 2007 by User:Jtf

Facilitated by Jeff Frederick

== What pain will they address? ==
* Expensive (latent) release cycles
** Make it easier to do what I want to do
** Spend less time doing mundane activities
* Engage in higher-value activities rather than repetitive manual tasks
* Remove some obstacles to communication and collaboration
** Increase happiness
** Overcome “culture of blame”
** Accountability and empowerment
* Improve visibility and assurance of code quality
** Sense of accomplishment
** More confidence / courage
** Reduce need to re-write due to lack of knowledge / hit-by-bus
** Ship more often, happier customer, underpants gnomes PROFIT!

== Where do I start ==

* Recognise we have a problem
* Consensus on what the problems are and that we want to change
* Identify the outcomes we would like to have
* Listen & understand how the issues impact others
* Change behaviours
** Empathetic, trust-building
** Pick some easy wins to build momentum
** May make it feel worse before it gets better
** Frequent retrospectives (perhaps daily)
** Talk to each other (across teams). Brown bags, socialise, catch up over lunch
** Co-located cross-functional team
** Light-hearted embarrassment tokens / achievement awards
* Measurements
** “Tasks completed each period” (e.g. Stories per iteration)

** Impromptu: “Hey there, whatchya doin?”
** Ask questions to understand design intent
** Ask someone to look at yours
** Have the strong developers demonstrate good examples for others to learn from
** Knowledge sharing
