The weekly bag– Aug 1

August 4th, 2008

• Web Component Testing Screencast- my friend Rod Coffin demonstrates some interesting aspects related to efficient web testing.
• Software Is Deployed, Bugs and All- does this surprise you?
• % test coverage doesn’t provide useful information- you are correct, man; in fact, code coverage is only effective at telling you what you haven’t tested.
• Java Performance Tuning: A Conversation With Java Champion Kirk Pepperdine- great quote: “Complex code tends to confuse [just-in-time compilers], so that they provide either suboptimal optimizations or no optimizations at all.” Oh yeah, not to mention complex code is a bear to maintain!
• Minimalist Coding Style- now, what would Kirk say regarding this style of coding?
• Unstable code- speaking of code, Oren’s got a brain teaser here, although “unstable” is quite a generic term and thus, might have lead to the number of different comments he received.
