Was yesterday really only the second day of Agile 2009? Then I have to hurry to write down my impressions, before the next day will have been started.

Wow, the weekend and also the first day in Chicago are gone. Even before the conference started, I had the opportunity to meet many people whom I only knew from books and blogs. On Saturday night, shortly after arriving at the hotel, I met Scott Duncan (@softqual) and Bernd Schiffer (@berndschiffer) for a drink. We managed to arrange that over Twitter, very unique experience for me. We met in the BIG bar of Hyatt, with a splendid view over Chicago by night, and slowly warmed up for the conference.

From the rather huge amount of – commercially and freely available – tools supporting agile testing I would like to have a closer look at FitNesse and the Robot Framework. Both tools are available for free and by looking at the corresponding project pages it can be seen that both frameworks are constantly enhanced. Another positive aspect is that there are mailing-lists available that can be used to get support. This is definitly helpful when using one of those tools in some real-life projects. Of course selecting these tools for a review might feel a bit random, especially because there are lot of other tools in this area. For example Concordion as a freely available alternative or Liquid as a commercial one to name only two. But as time is – unfortunetly – a limited resource I had to do some preselection here. Hopefully there will be the possibility to have a look at some of the alternatives in some later article still.

Probably everyone working with Eclipse knows the following message that shows up when a file that belongs to the Eclipse workspace is changed outside of Eclipse:
Resource is out of sync with the file system: '<Path>' Press 'F5' or select File > Refresh to refresh the file.

Code metrics are one means of quality assurance for software projects. Most likely everyone has already worked with tools like Cobertura, FindBugs or Checkstyle.
Sonar combines the functionalities of these (and additional) tools for static code analysis and offers a comfortable web frontend to analyze the collected data. read more…
