Comment on Agile 2009 submission: Functional Testing Flex by Karina

One thing I also do as a tesetr is to help the team control scope. Most newbie agile teams over-commit, and they work on stories that are too big. Find ways to divide the work into small chunks or threads. Make sure testing estimates are included in story estimates. Sometimes features take longer to test than to code! When you see a story that looks too big, ask if it can be divided up. Sometimes the smaller piece may not deliver much business value, but the team needs to focus on getting one small story done at a time, including all the testing activities.

Comment on Unit Testing JSP Custom Tags by Rashi

Is it necessary to extend RequestContextAwareTag?
Does this mean that all my custom tags should extend RequestContextAwareTag and should implement doStartTagInternal() methods to use Spring Testing frame work.

Hi Jeremy,
I posted awhile back about a problem I had with the app from GroovyMag. Well, I just happened to take another look at it and realized the Contact.as file was named contact.as…renamed the file and it worked like a charm…doh! Thanks again for the excellent article and tutorial,
Scott

Hi Jeremy,

I am the organizer of the Detroit Java User Group. I see that you recently spoke at the GR – JUG and I’m wondering if you would be interested in speaking at our JUG. We have several members interested in Flex and Groovy.

Please, contact me when you get chance.

Thanks,

Found a solution for the delete problem:

replace
def remove(Contact contact){
contact.delete(flush:true)
}
with
def remove(Contact contact){
def contactToDelete = get(contact.id)
contactToDelete.delete(flush:true)
}
