Gaps I found while dog-fooding Typemock Isolator
I have been dog-fooding Typemock Isolator with the Metric Dashboard. There are quite a few gaps in the product that I have found while using it.
Before I go into the details of the gaps, I must point out that all these features exists in the older API’s (that are still available), but they […]
Bug Fix Time not a good metric
After a few weeks using the BugFixTime metric, I found that metric too hard to understand and leaves the developer and managers clueless to what that have to do to fix the metric.
We have done some internal thinking and some feedback and have created the next generation of this tool built to help teams develop […]
Simple or Simply Terrible
I read the Lead Blog post: Simplicity.
Simplicity means the achievement of maximum effect with minimal means. - Dr. Koichi Kawana

Ruby Style Isolating - Aspect Faking
I have talked in the past about Ruby Style Isolating (Dynamically Typed), now it is part of the AAA syntax.
The big value of this feature is that you don’t have to inherit a type in order to replace it with a fake, the downfall of this is that when you refactor your code, you […]

Is the visibility of tested methods important?
We are having quite a discussion lately about the importance of the visibility of tested methods.

Mocking frameworks - dream feature
There are some developers SHOUTING, that mocking static and non-virtual methods is a big No-No. Roy, is calling them dogmatic.
Come on guys, the most requested feature from Rhino.Mocks is the ability to mock non-virtual and static members, and Oren has even implemented these when possible (MarshalByRef Objects). I am sure that if it was easy, […]
