Cocumber for Java

For my 16 years in Software Development one of the things that I haven't really mastered is unit testing. Junit testing is something that I don't really use because the bar to get there is really high and we also have a task like agile sprint on which is a time box to do list.

Time changed and applications we develop must work on desktop, web and mobile the level of quality shippable product has just been raised but the time to develop is just getting shorter.

To meet those challenges embracing test driven development (TDD) and behavioral driven development (BDD) is requirement for every application development. It simply gives us a high level of confidence when we pass it to our testers or ship our shippable product.

I am pretty much familiar with TDD using JUnit test case in Java so I won't be discussing it here.

The main difference between TDD and BDD in simple terms is: TDD is for technical people and BDD is for non-technical people.

With BDD the tool I use is Cocumber which has a similar definition in describing a story.



A developer can easily match his story in BDD with his Agile and convert it from business story task to technical test for validation and double checking. This helps the developer reduce his mistakes and provide different possible ideas on scenarios his working on.

What I like a lot about Cocumber is you only write one file that has "test" on the suffix and it can link it to you're definition classes.




In todays generation of Software Development it would take a lot of effort from developers starting from UI interface, business logic, OOP concepts, MVC pattern, frameworks, Junit testing, behavioral development and continues integration. It would also be wrong to remove testers in the future since they have this rich experience to check and explore things on apps and break it.

We just have to adopt and persevere on values, principles and practices that will produce quality products.

Cocumber is doing a good job and like what they do. To learn more about the tools visit https://cucumber.io

Apple's Edge Over Microsoft?

In the world of IT, models created by business empires will dictate the future of their products. Microsoft is using the component model as the key to win customers and Apple is using the end-to-end model. Microsoft Windows platform crushed Apple's Macintosh platform the day Microsoft release Windows 98 and pirates come out in the open and dominate every stall in our local mall and computer shops. iPod maybe the best and coolest mp3 player that I have ever seen but I still don't think that Apple will dominate the cell phone era for this place belongs to Asia particularly Nokia and Sony Ericson. I don't know why Walter Mossberg thinks US company will always dominate the world when in fact there is another company that belongs to the world and its called Open Source. I think he is dead wrong with his perception. Without a doubt nobody comes close to iPod in the field of mp3 player however, with the release of Sony Ericson latest cell phone such as W900i. An intelligent human ...

It was simply the best place for people who want to collaborate and enjoy together.

GWT+MySQL Best Practice

Image
Migrating from GWT-EXT to native GWT has never been an easy task as I expect it would. I took me some moths to really absorb the fundamentals of its Java code, structure and pattern. The price for taking this challenge was undoubtedly more gratifying especially on performance and size. I had lesser reboot due to memory leak and I had better handling on syntax especially on database due to its strict use of its object. Here are some improvements on my code: DatabaseServiceImpl.java String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/"; String db = "mydb"; String driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"; String user = "myuser"; String password = "mypassword"; public String connectDatabase() { String resultString; try{ Class.forName(driver).newInstance(); conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url+db, user, password); //conn = DriverManager.getConnection...
