Today at lunch I found myself downtown at IBM for a Regina Java Users Group meeting. Greg Hutchinson, a local consultant who runs his own company, Attractors Consulting, Inc., presented his topic, "Extreme Testing - The Extreme Programming Way". It was a great introduction to a topic I'm very interested in. I think iterative development is absolutely the way to go - I've seen first hand how quickly things can break down if you aren't doing enough (and the right) testing, especially on a large team like the one I'm working on right now. In fact, I'm thinking of a few side-projects at the moment that would be a great opportunity to really take advantage of and learn tools like JUnit. We have a tool at work that is licensed company-wide called Jtest that is supposed to speed up using it even more. Can't wait to try it out :)
Paying the bills with my mad programming skills...
I live in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada and work for a blue-chip consulting firm as an Information Technology Architect designing and developing applications on the Java platform.
