This week’s bag is so disco:
- Version Control System survey- Interesting trends for 2006– both Subversion and Microsoft’s Team System show disco growth.
- Check in all your binary dependencies into Source Control- Jeremy Miller advocates it; however, I couldn’t disagree more!
- COBOL: The New Latin- “COBOL is growing … by about a billion lines per year” and you thought Disco was dead.
- Singleton is Incompatible with Unit Testing- Michael Feathers of “Working Effectively with Legacy Code” fame suggests making your Singletons Fingletons.
- STAF V3.2.0 is now available- STAF is a framework designed to improve the level of reuse and automation in test cases and test environments, man.
- Test Driven Development- TDD in C! You’ve got to read it to believe it– although, I’m a bit more liberal on the definition of TDD– it doesn’t imply test first, in my opinion. That’s an incredibly hard technique for people to master. I’d rather instill a process where all non-trivial code has tests (which would be written after the code itself).
- TestNG version 5.3 has been released- Keep up, if you can, man.
- Unit test Struts applications with mock objects and AOP- I firmly believe there are a lot of Struts applications in production today.

Your link to the TDD article points to an article that’s in C++, not C. The ‘class’ keyword was the give-away
Thanks for the good blog!
