Everyone Is Watching SREA! UP Again! Score One Inc. (SREA) $0.41 UP 2.5% SREA continues its steady climb for the second week. UP nearly 400% in the last two weeks, Stock reporting sites across the board are issuing stock watch notices. Read the news, look at the numbers, and get on SREA Friday! To prove his point, Savoia penned a series of short, humorous essays, which he titled Testivus: Testivus is developer testing for the rest of us. NET applications, we allow developers to use annotations and source-level metadata to accomplish the same things. There are some real benefits to using portlets. are because of the developer not thinking about all the different possibilities that could be true or not true when calling into a different interface or when a certain path happens. that isn't constrained to one thread, one connection. His popular columns in JavaWorld magazine covered Java internals, object-oriented design, and Jini. He also serves as chief editor of the IEEE Technical Committee on Scalable Computing's newsletter, and is an elected member of the Jini Community's Technical Advisory Committee. Those are the ones that are going to run in your test suites. In this interview with Artima, Bill Roth, BEA vice president and unit executive of the company's Workshop division, discusses ways to manage dependencies on those artifacts. Some intermediary data services provide a Web service interface to the data, but it is also possible for that intermediary tier to be a JDBC-accessible virtual database. He led the Jini Community's ServiceUI project, whose ServiceUI API became the de facto standard way to associate user interfaces to Jini services. that's something that LifeRay has, in particular, solved. According to Ben Chelf, CTO of Coverity, spending more time on thinking about the uncommon cases would result in higher-quality code. You also can get namespace collisions within the JavaScript itself. As you package the application and deploy it, you find out that, for example, I typed a wrong path for the taglib, or used the wrong HTML file name, only when I ran the application. Read how it was covered in The Scotsman. Substantial protection is required. The other form of lock-in is into a specific database schema. HTTP's statelessness, however, has proven a challenge in the context of Web-based applications that mimic traditional client-server designs. A lot of time and effort is spent in that cycle. In what ways have you used visual tools in the past that have worked well or not worked well? Traditional client-server applications typically maintain some connection state on both the client and the server, creating what appears to be a "persistent" connection between the two. But multiple Ajax toolkits on the client can produce unintended consequences, explains ICESoft's Steve Maryka in this interview with Artima. The ultimate issue around this persistent connection is scalability. As virtualization software improves, other benefits of a virtualized deployment environment become apparent, too. To do that has historically been constrained to a thick-client model or to some kind of extra plug-in media requirement. We have a big server farm, so you can get hundreds of tests in minutes, and start playing around with those tests. Make sure that these things are clear, because if you're . that isn't constrained to one thread, one connection. I think developers, for the most part, don't think enough about what is going to happen in the bad case. To what extent do you trust tools to generate tests for your code? Steve Maryka, CTO of ICESoft, talks about the dangers of using multiple Ajax toolkits on the client. There is an Eclipse plugin, and there is also a Web-based version. If you have a bunch of requests going on in the page, you can have applications that essentially freeze up because the browser can't handle the connection requirements. Kevin Haar, CEO of Appistry, talks talks about explicit and implicit application states. While that task is a common requirement for many Web applications, portlets are not always the best choice for content aggregation. Have a naming strategy or a naming architecture for any decent-size Web application. " It makes more sense when you contrast it with testing dogma. We are able to do that because Spring externalizes a lot of the metadata and configuration, and our fabric is able to infer what it needs to provide that scale and reliability. According to Ben Chelf, CTO of Coverity, spending more time on thinking about the uncommon cases would result in higher-quality code. Here, you're able to do that using Ajax technology and standard browsers. Today, that's a very manual and intensive process with significant time delay. It scans the application while you're developing at design-time, and allows you to map out the structure of your application. Kevin Haar, CEO of Appistry, talks talks about explicit and implicit application states. How much effort do you typically spend on thinking through the unexpected and uncommon cases your code may encounter? You don't want to be too dogmatic about it. VP of Marketing Yves de Montcheuil, and co-founder and CEO Bertrand Diard, both with Talend, talk about open-source system integration. Bill Venners is president of Artima, Inc. According to Ben Chelf, CTO of Coverity, spending more time on thinking about the uncommon cases would result in higher-quality code. It's in the form an ancient, lost, Zen-like document from the "first-ever software start-up on record. If you use Oracle, then you may have a lock-in there. When do you think it is appropriate to use a portlet framework, and when would you rather build a content aggregation application yourself? You can have a different schema. So you throw the testing baby out with the water, which is bad. To shake up the stodgy world of system integration, a new French company, Talend, is applying an open-source approach to producing a high-quality, free, system integration tool. are because of the developer not thinking about all the different possibilities that could be true or not true when calling into a different interface or when a certain path happens. Substantial protection is required. Have a naming strategy or a naming architecture for any decent-size Web application. The ultimate issue around this persistent connection is scalability. Also, don't use acronyms. |
