http://www.bitmechanic.com/2009/11/10/trac-plugin-for-gliffy-released.html

Trac plugin for Gliffy released. Posted: November 10, 2009. And we like Gliffy. So we figured, why not combine them? Yesterday I submitted a new macro to trac-hacks.org: GliffyMacro. This macro lets you embed the Gliffy editor on any trac wiki page. For example:. This would edit or create a document called "Test Doc" in your "work" Gliffy folder. The second parameter is optional. If omitted the document will be created in the root folder of your Gliffy account. Directory and add a few settings in your.

bitmechanic - In praise of scrumy

http://www.bitmechanic.com/2009/01/22/in-praise-of-scrumy.html

In praise of scrumy. Posted: January 22, 2009. For the last month we've been using a new web based task board called scrumy. So far my opinion is that it's the best solution I've seen for managing distributed agile dev teams. Here's a quick rundown of how the tool works:. You add stories to rows. You add tasks in columns. Tasks are color coded based on the person they're assigned to. You move tasks through the workflow as they're completed (to do, in progress, verify, done). Book sharing for Nook/Kindle.

bitmechanic - TDD in Javascript with QUnit

http://www.bitmechanic.com/2009/01/09/tdd-in-javascript-with-qunit.html

TDD in Javascript with QUnit. Posted: January 09, 2009. These days you'd be hard pressed to find a web application that isn't using JQuery. Over the last few months I've had several conversations with fellow developers about how to test applications using these frameworks. Fortunately each of these frameworks includes a unit test runner. In this article I dive into QUnit. The test harness for JQuery based web applications. In this example I'll be using the following technologies:. JQuery 1.2.6. These are...

bitmechanic - FTP passive mode and Java Sockets

http://www.bitmechanic.com/2007/11/09/ftp-passive-mode-and-java-sockets.html

FTP passive mode and Java Sockets. Posted: November 09, 2007. Okay, my first blog entry. Be gentle. I just spent most of the day diagnosing this problem with an FTP server and a Java application, and I thought maybe I could save someone the effort some time. So, first, the background. Now, how does this relate to Java Socket in particular? Parses thread dump files into XML, and then XSLs them into fancy html and graphviz graphs and stuff - neat! Book sharing for Nook/Kindle.

bitmechanic - JMX and ssh tunneling

http://www.bitmechanic.com/2010/11/24/jmx-and-ssh-tunneling.html

JMX and ssh tunneling. Posted: November 24, 2010. How do you use JMX on a Java process over an ssh tunnel? Standard ssh port forwarding doesn't work because JMX uses RMI which negotiates a connection on an arbitrary port. So what to do? I had this problem yesterday and found jmxterm. A command line JMX client. It worked great. Wget http:/ downloads.sourceforge.net/cyclops-group/jmxterm-1.0-alpha-4-uber.jar. Connect to your JXM process. Open somehost:8999 # help will display available commands. Boolean, r...

bitmechanic - Don't make a mockery of testing

http://www.bitmechanic.com/2008/02/02/dont-make-a-mockery-of-testing.html

Don't make a mockery of testing. Posted: February 02, 2008. If you've worked on a Java team that valued test automation, you've probably been exposed to EasyMock. Why your team should focus on integration testing:. 1: The Golden Rule. This is the most important point. Imagine that you have just inherited a legacy web based application with an automated test suite. Imagine two parallel universes:. In universe one the test suite contains a set of Selenium or WebDriver. In universe two the test suite contai...
