Johnny's Software Saloon

Weblog where I discuss things that really interest me. Things like Java software development, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Macintosh software, Cocoa, Eclipse IDE, OOP, content management, XML technologies, CSS and XSLT document styling, artificial intelligence, standard document formats, and cool non-computing technologies.

I like writing software, listening to music (mostly country and rock but a little of everything), walking around outside, reading (when I have the time), relaxing in front of my TV watching my TiVo, playing with my cat, and riding around in my hybrid gas/electric car.

The Power of Tests

Someone has written a fantastic article on unit-testing Ruby applications.

The Power of Tests:
My belief is that unit testing is for everyone and, in fact, I’ll go so far as to say that I believe becoming a test-driven developer is the single best change a programmer can make in their day to day routine.


The artistic explains succintly what five virtues of unit testing are.

Then it jumps into giving great examples of how to write really useful tests in Ruby.

These examples are primo. Well worth reading if you are a Ruby programmer.
