And yet... test-driven coding *is* sexy. If you bother with it. It's hard to maintain that sort of discipline, so it's easier when you pair-program (and thus we head down the path to extreme programming), and it requires knowing what you're trying to do (thus no noodling).... I'm not so sure that a good unit-test framework is doable in a day-and-a-half -- but then, I've only looked at JUnit and SUnit. -Stewart "Enterprise software doesn't lend itself to unit testing" Stremler -- KPLUG-List mailing list [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
