this is still something that is bugging me .. I've just been reading some
of the eXtreme programming stuff ( the basic principles of which i would
really love to try on a real live project ) .. but the thing that gets me
is the testing bit. The entire methodology seems to be easy to implment
in a OO enviroment but somewhat less than easy in a none OO enviroment ..
but not impossible.
Doing loadsa web stuff its tricky to see how any testing regime could
test whether a particular module printed the 'right sort' of html without
requiring 'user input' ... and I can;t see any testing regime that
required loadsa 'click if you see a nicely formatted brown box' and
'click if the menu items on this page are correctly formed' etc .. but
maybe I'm just lacking in imagination...??

The box said "requires windows 95 or better"
So I installed Linux!
