Well, that's not really what he's saying... his real objection is that unit testing *tools* suck and that developers just don't know how to write automated tests. And I agree with him. He says (repeatedly) testing is very important and you must test, test, test. Unit tests are very valuable *if* they are set up correctly but most test harnesses are a pain in the @$$ to use and in order to write test cases you often end up writing even more code than your original code base which, of course, does seem pretty dumb... -- Sean A Corfield -- http://corfield.org/ Got frameworks?
