Then when I test functions which interact with the html page that I import the .js file into – I class that as Functional testing. [...]

Continuing on our adventures in TDD JavaScript land and we reach for the code coverage tool. The mighty Google returns JSCoverage as the first hit for JavaScript code coverage, which means it must ‘be’ good, right? Let’s find out how well it plays with QUnit.

I have a little project that I started writing in OpenLaszlo. I chose OpenLaszlo because I thought I could script it in standard JavaScript but during the development of my minor app I found a few errors with the OpenLaszlo JavaScript implementation and the project stalled. Now, having started a new job, where the development [...]

Previously I described how I made some TDD mistakes and fixed them by tracking them. And now to help me maintain my good behaviour and reduce my recidivism rate, I install some eclipse plugins: Emma, FindBugs, PMD and mousefeed.

For the longest time I didn’t know what dependency injection meant – anytime I looked it up I glazed over thinking it really complicated. I only recently found out while learning TDD that I can describe dependency injection in terms of – pass an object in as a parameter instead of instantiating it in the [...]

Previously I made some TDD mistakes. So to fix them. I tracked them. I tracked the mistakes by creating an index card that listed the ‘bad’ things on one side, and the ‘good’ things on the other side. Then noted when I did the bad things, and when I did the good things. The writing [...]

Since I generally present myself as a tester, coupled with my relatively novice status when coding in Java using TDD. I don’t mind writing up my TDD mistakes here.
