26th June 2012 Fabrizio Moscon in Phpunit, Unittest, Oo

Citation directly from Sebastian Bergman:
"In a unit test there should be absolutely no control structures.

Unit tests are meant to minimize your debug time by being small to the point tests on small specific pieces of code.

Since unit tests are intended to reduce the time spent debugging, it should make sense that the unit tests themselves should not be subject to debugging.

All logic should be tested. Adding control structures to tests is logic that should to be tested, and things that should be tested are possibly things that you may end up having to debug.

If for some reason you really need logic to accomplish something in your test, it should be pulled out into a well tested helper so that you don't end up debugging your tests in addition to your code."

if you are writing logic in your test you know you are doing it w… Read morerong!

  I agree with that. Maybe some factories for classes, but no if/while/for, copy and paste of few lines is OK

This is a great blog and I particularly liked this post and diagram - the salesperson as seen by the Product Manager! #productmanagement #sales
- The Brain of a Sales Droid - A Visual Guide - The Cranky Product Manager
  
  Behold, a visual guide to the inside of a SalesDroid's brain, or more specifically, an Enterprise Software SalesDroid's brain, as viewed from Product Management. Yes, the lack of artistic merit in this drawing is profoundly pitiful. Thank goodness the Cranky Product Manager has a day job.

free manual for bash
- Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide
  
  This tutorial assumes no previous knowledge of scripting or programming, but progresses rapidly toward an intermediate/advanced level of instruction . . . all the while sneaking in little nuggets of UNIX® wisdom and lore. It serves as a textbook, a manual for self-study, and a reference and source of knowledge on shell scripting techniques.

from Sebastian bergmann: how to mock static methods using late static binding of PHP
- Stubbing and Mocking Static Methods " Sebastian Bergmann
  
  With PHPUnit 3.5 it will be possible to stub and mock static methods. Consider the class Foo: When testing Foo::doSomething() we want to decouple it from its dependency Foo::helper(). With PHPUnit 3.5 and PHP 5.3 as well as consistent use of late static binding (using static:: instead of self::) the following is possible: The new staticExpects() method works similar to the non-static expects() variant.

  @elvis I hear your concerns, but the searching is so intuitive that finding what I'm looking for is fine. TBH, I don't mind typing a few extra characters if I can have an interface this sexy (and non memory-hogging ;) )

  I think it is super awesome as well but just not there yet for back end development.
  * No autocompletion
  * No roper git integration
  * etc.
  
  So once they have added stuff like this or someone wrote an extension that can provide these functionalities in a proper way, I'll buy it.

What am I going to build my next app on? Probably Postgres. Will I use NoSQL? Maybe. I might also use Hadoop and Hive. I might keep everything in flat files. Maybe I’ll start hacking on Maglev. I’ll use whatever is best for the job. If I need reporting, I won’t be using any NoSQL. If I need caching, I’ll probably use Tokyo Tyrant. If I need ACIDity, I won’t use NoSQL. If I need a ton of counters, I’ll use Redis. If I need transactions, I’ll use Postgres. If I have a ton of a single type of documents, I’ll probably use Mongo. If I need to write 1 billion objects a day, I’d probably use Voldemort. If I need full text search, I’d probably use Solr. If I need full text search of volatile data, I’d probably use Sphinx.

To me, the Mysql vs MongoDB benchmarks are revealing as they show that with beefy hardware, a NoSQL engine does not have to be faster than a well indexed Mysql Table, which might seem the case.

MySQL became the most popular relational database on the planet by turning its weaknesses into strengths and successfully leveraging its ubiquity.

It would be foolish to predict the same success that MySQL enjoyed for MongoDB, because the underlying market context has changed.

  I'm embarrassed to say I love it, but haven't yet paid for my licence. It completely deserves my cash for being so awesome, but can't pull the trigger just yet (and will put up with it prompting me every so often). Will do soon enough, I hope!
