Tomorrow I'm giving a workshop on Intermediate Python at the UTOS. In the session I'll discuss testing with the unittest and doctest modules for Python. Then I discuss a bunch of what I consider to be intermediate Python constructs. Included are d

[pycon2008] Video of "Managing Complexity" up

2008.10.28 Tue 1:05 P GMT-07
I gave a talk at pycon 2008 dealing with testing, code coverage, complexity and how to know when you are "done" testing. Though the talk was given at a Python conference, and the examples are in python, the talk is actually a general discussion of d

Pycon2006 Tutorial Recap

2006.02.28 Tue 10:10 P GMT-07
I attended the tutorials the first day of Pycon. The first one I attended was Python 102. I guess I figured it would be more like 302, so there wasn't much new. Since I'm still basically programming in the

Generate twill scripts and mechanize unittests from TestGen4Web

2005.12.05 Mon 10:44 P GMT-07
While attending FOSS.IN, one of the sessions was a website security session. I only caught the tail end, but it felt very similar to a session at OSCON this year by Nitesh. I also attended part of Rasmus' talk where he talked about a tool

SpikeSource Open Testing Contest

2005.08.11 Thu 5:39 P GMT-07
Calling all testers (and developers). In an effort to boost testing among open source components, my employer is offering $20,000 in awards to Open Source projects who compete in the SpikeSource Open Testing Contest. I've blogged a little about

Testing - an afterthought for opensource?

2005.07.20 Wed 11:04 P GMT-07
From my experience commercial testing of software consists of manual qa (grunt labor). Little is automated. I personally feel that even with a slight investment by developers to create unit tests, that effort would pay off later (especially in the
