Unit Testing with MX Unit and Continuous Integration with ANT and Jenkins CI: Gavin Baumanis
Kent Beck said; “Test driven development is a way of managing fear during programming.” He goes on to say that; • “Fear makes you tentative, • Fear makes you want to communicate less, • Fear makes you shy away from feedback.“ Test Driven Development (TDD) allows us take steps towards controlling of all of these things. Gavin will show the pros and cons of Unit testing - and why he thinks you simply must write tests for your code. MX Unit is a ColdFusion port of the popular java testing framework, jUnit. Gavin will show you how to; * write * run your unit tests He'll also go into how to integrate your testing suite with ANT and the Jenkins CI platform to automate the testing of your code. So you'll be able to; * run your tests on command * run your tests every time you commit new code to your version control system and lastly, * deploy your tested code to a server. Gavin Baumanis : Melbourne Native who has been using ColdFusion since 4.00 when he inherited an application at RMIT University that was used to display spatial / usage / department information for the universities 15,000 floors.
