Podcasts that boogie
If you:
- Want to learn more about Continuous Integration
- Live to disco dance
- Still watch reruns of Saturday Night Fever
- Are curious about Test Categorization
- Use the word “copasetic” in everyday conversations
then you’ll have a hip time listening to these two podcasts:
- Test Categorization — introduces Test Categorization as a technique for reducing software build durations.
- Introduction to Continuous Integration — introduces the basic concepts of Continuous Integration.
In the Age of Aquarius disco never dies man. Dig it?

Test categorization is ql, I am missing only two things:
- no IDE support (except testng-eclipse, which has no release yet)
- It would be nice to make CI systems use the categorization, but how can one configure the existing CI systems to do this?
You can configure a CI system to run categorized tests via your build script. For example, you can have an Ant task that runs unit tests only and that task is part of a dependency on a larger build task which is run anytime a check-in occurs.
As for IDEs—yeah, you are right; however, you can usually configure IDEs to run build files, hence, you’d be able to run a categorized test in the same manner as above.
