Code Generation: The Real Lesson of Rails
In an article introducing Ruby on Rails' Active Record, Bruce Tate suggests that Java could enjoy some of the benefits of Rails by taking a wrapping rather than a mapping approach to persistence. I think this misses the point. What Rails really demonstrates is the benefit of code generation.

Fun With Automated Characterization Test Generation
This is the fourth installment in the "Working Effectively With Characterization Tests" series. This time we look at how automation can help you create and/or improve your characterization tests using JUnit Factory, a free, web-based, experimental characterization test generator (and my pet research project).

Deterministic Software Development
As long as we believe that it's possible to deterministically control the development of software, deterministic solutions will be the only ones that we can entertain. Only by letting go of the idea of determinism can we open up to other, less perfect ways of influencing the process.

Working Effectively With Characterization Tests - Part 3
In this 3rd part of the series, we put our newly created characterization tests to work, and we see how even the simplest and most innocent code changes can cause unexpected and unwanted changes in the behavior of our code. Fortunately our characterization tests are there to protect us.

Working Effectively With Characterization Tests
This is the first installment in a series of short articles I plan to write on characterization testing. Characterization testing is an important concept and an essential tool for software developers working with legacy code (i.e. most of us) and it deserves broader exposure and more attention.

Do We Need a Threading Maturity Model?
Almost every program we write today will execute in a concurrent computing environment. But to what degree do developers really have to be aware that their programs run on concurrent hardware?

Developer Testing Masters and Brain Surgeons
Testing is tough for most programmers, but without some amount of developer testing delivering quality software is even tougher. We propose a new software specialization and position – Developer Testing Master – to help software organizations fill the horrifically expensive testing gap between development and QA.
