Feed Description: Thoughts on Python and Programming.
I was looking at fit.c2.com, which was an idea of using Wiki style
development to create acceptance tests. It's also probably there to
avoid the tedium of writing one-off (test) code in Java.
Anyway, the example style reminded me very much of doctest. I really
like doctest, but it's really not a complete solution for testing. I
feel like there should be other ways to express tests in the same
spirit as doctest. Fit (at least, I assume that's the name of the
framework) seems to have some more flexible ideas about testing
fixtures. (Though of course doctest's other great feature is that the
fixture for a test is minimal to the point of non-existance)
Anyway, parallel developments are always interesting.
