Testing testing testing

So anyone who knows me professionally knows that I'm a big fan of test driven development, so it's no surprise that when the LCA2007 conference had some nice testing presentations I was pretty excited (even though it wasn't specifically about TDD, but rather about testing in general).

Unfortunately, I was unable to attend (but for very good reasons - the birth of Nathaniel).

Fortunately the video was released (paper video, tutorial video) soon afterwards.

So Erik has just put the paper online (which I promise I'll read soon). And there's also an (almost blank :) webpage specifying a mailing list too. Hopefully some traction will be built around this.

So I'd encourage people to think about testing their software. Even better, write your tests before you write your software, and watch the video, read the paper, check out some test driven development resources online (Kent Beck, Martin Fowler etc) and sign-up on the mailing list. Let's advance the state of software by building quality in at the start.
