Testing PyTDDmon
One of the things I like about GothPy is that lots of the people in the group enjoy writing code in their spare time, and like to share with us what they're up to.A little while back, Olof came up with this little tool, PyTDDmon, which is to help you when you're doing...
joining eLabs
I've enjoyed my time working for Iptor, but I found I just couldn't refuse Carl-Johan when he offered me a job at eLabs. I first med C-J a few years ago at Got.rb, the local Ruby User Group, and I know he has a great entrepreneurial spirit and deep technical...
JUseCase, dreams of resurrection
JUseCase is the Java version of PyUseCase, for testing GUIs written in Swing. It was originally written as a master's thesis by Claes Verdoes in 2005, under Geoff's supervision. Since then it hasn't been used much, and has lain idle and unmaintained for a while. In...
big UI changes and their effect on tests
I recently read this post in Brian Marick's blog, and it set me thinking. He's talking about a test whose intention in some way survived three major GUI revisions. The test code had to be rewritten each time, but the essence of it was retained. He says: I changed the...

Scandinavian Developer Conference 2010
The programme for Scandinavian Developer Conference has just been published. I think we have a fantastic line up of speakers this year. I am particularly pleased Michael Feathers, Brian Marick and Diana Larsen have agreed to join us, and that this year my husband...
Iptor
It occurred to me that I should mention that I now work for Iptor Konsult AB rather than IBS JavaSolutions. This is not due to my changing jobs, rather that IBS decided that since we don't do the same things as the rest of the company, we should have a separate name...
TextTest progress
When I wrote this post about the public Texttest nightjob statistics, I thought they were a bit confusing and hard to understand. Geoff has now rewritten the page to contain fewer numbers, and just report the passed and failed tests from the previous night. I think...
Hi – I´m Emily!
I am an independent consultant with Bache Consulting and chair of the Samman Technical Coaching Society. As a technical coach I work with software development organizations who want to get better at the technical practices needed to be agile, including Test-Driven Development, Refactoring and Incremental Design. I live in Gothenburg, Sweden, although I am originally from the UK. I’ve written two books: “Technical Agile Coaching with the Samman method” and “The Coding Dojo Handbook”. I teach for both O’Reilly and Pluralsight. I’m married to Geoff Bache, creator of TextTest.
