Anyone who feels that TDD is “Too Damn Difficult” will appreciate this book. Design Driven Testing shows that, by combining a forward-thinking development process with cutting-edge automation, testing can be a finely targeted, business-driven, rewarding effort. In other words, you’ll learn how to test smarter, not harder. Applies a feedback-driven approach to each stage of the…

ProjectWeaver - A new add-in for the management of medium/large-sized projects
Written by smaurizio
Soluta.Net is glad to announce the release of ProjectWeaver, an add-in conceived to improve the work experience of those who use Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect in medium/large-sized projects. To manage complex Enterprise scenarios, Enterprise Architect allows to split a project into many model roots. This permits to tame the complexity of a project, but can lead to the production of huge model structures. As an alternative, we can split the project into multiple subprojects: in this way, the project size is reduced, but we cannot take advantage of the resource sharing features provided by Enterprise Architect. ProjectWeaver aims at helping organizations using Enterprise…
