It aims to solve some of the barriers to acceptance and entry into TDD by using concepts that more accurately reflect the intent of the process. For instance, although TDD makes your code very well tested, this is really just a nice side effect. What we're primarily after is to design incrementally, by “specifying” the “behaviors” the code should have, and do so in a manner that can be automatically verified to show that… text/html 2012-05-10T14:16:08+01:00 Martin Spamer http://www.spamer.me.uk/wiki/doku.php/dsdm_dynamic_systems_development_methodology?rev=1336655768&do=diff text/html 2012-05-09T12:18:28+01:00 Martin Spamer http://www.spamer.me.uk/wiki/doku.php/java_language_idioms?rev=1336562308&do=diff System.err.println(new File(".").getAbsolutePath()); DocumentBuilderFactory documentBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(); DocumentBuilder documentBuilder = documentBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder(); Document xmlDocument= documentBuilder.parse( pathToXmlFile ); text/html 2012-05-08T00:11:14+01:00 Martin Spamer http://www.spamer.me.uk/wiki/doku.php/webservicesdescriptionlanguage?rev=1336432274&do=diff WSDL is an XML XSD document which describes the location and use of Web services. * <types> The data types used by the web service * <message> The messages used by the web service * <part> A message part. * <portType> The operations performed by the web service * One-way The operation can receive a message but will not return a response * Request-response The operation can receive a request and will return a response * Solicit-response The operation can send a request an… text/html 2012-02-22T14:35:34+01:00 Martin Spamer http://www.spamer.me.uk/wiki/doku.php/test_automation?rev=1329921334&do=diff text/html 2012-02-22T14:35:02+01:00 Martin Spamer http://www.spamer.me.uk/wiki/doku.php/design_patterns?rev=1329921302&do=diff Software Architecture Patterns * Batch Process * Client Server * N-Tier * Peer to Peer * Service Oriented Orchestration Patterns for Service Oriented Architecture * Scatter & Gather * * Fan-In / Aggregate * * Fan-Out / Decompose * Pipe-line text/html 2012-02-22T14:27:18+01:00 Martin Spamer http://www.spamer.me.uk/wiki/doku.php/java_development?rev=1329920838&do=diff Java Development Java language idioms * Checked vs Unchecked Exceptions * Encapsulate Data with a Memento * Implementing UML Associations in Java * Example Singleton Template for Netbeans * Connection Pools * Detect an unreachable host in Java * Java Class Factory * Java Static Class initialisation * Detecting unreachable hosts with java * Loading a resource from within a jar * ISO Timestamp text/html 2012-02-22T14:25:55+01:00 Martin Spamer http://www.spamer.me.uk/wiki/doku.php/internet_technology?rev=1329920755&do=diff * User Datagram Protocol * Transaction Control Protocol * Unicast Addressing * Multicast Addressing text/html 2012-02-22T14:25:22+01:00 Martin Spamer http://www.spamer.me.uk/wiki/doku.php/quotations?rev=1329920722&do=diff “Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of the wise.” Douglas Bader. text/html 2012-02-22T14:24:47+01:00 Martin Spamer http://www.spamer.me.uk/wiki/doku.php/miscellaneous?rev=1329920687&do=diff * The Ballonist * Dear Mr Architect * The Butterfly Parable * The Rule of Rules * Quotations to inspire * Topics TODO text/html 2012-02-22T14:02:17+01:00 Martin Spamer http://www.spamer.me.uk/wiki/doku.php/sidebar?rev=1329919337&do=diff * Content * Software Architecture. * Software Engineering. * Object Oriented. * Design Patterns. * Java Development. * Internet Technology. * Test Automation. * Methods & Process. * Coaching & Mentoring. * Miscellaneous. * Software Rights. text/html 2012-02-22T13:53:06+01:00 Martin Spamer http://www.spamer.me.uk/wiki/doku.php/software_engineering?rev=1329918786&do=diff Software Engineering is the application of Scientific Methods and Engineering Principles to the development of software.
