Close on the heels of the SimpleTest 1.0RC1 release, is a new article titled "Coding a Login Box Shouldn't Hurt". Web sites can be fiddly to test, especially when it includes functionality like cookie handling and form filling. While manual testing is error prone and tedious, using a Web testing tool can automate the process, making development fast, accurate, and even fun. In this new article , Marcus Baker, helps you solve this tricky problem of authenticating users, by using test driven development.

DevShed ramps up another new series today with this new article giving developers a look at working with object-oriented programming through the eyes of design patterns. It's another excerpt from the George Schlossnagle book "Advanced PHP Programming".   This chapter provides an overview of the advanced OO features now available in PHP. Some of the examples developed here will be used throughout the rest of this book and will hopefully serve as a demonstration that certain problems really benefit from the OO approach.   The article lays down the foundation for the more complex information to come. It introduces object-oriented programming briefly, and talks about some of the handy features of it - like inheritance, static attributes and methods.

Many web programmers talk about "domain-specific languages" as if defining functions and methods were a new discovery. A real domain-specific language provides concise syntax and symatics for a particular purpose, such as Yung-chung Lin's FEAR::API. He explains how this toolkit allows you to scrape, modify, store, and re-present web data easily, effectively, and economically.

DrJava is a lightweight programming environment for Java designed to foster test-driven software development. It includes an intelligent program editor, an interactions pane for evaluating program text, a source level debugger, and a unit testing tool.   There appeared to have been a problem with the files that were uploaded for the 20080106-0744 stable version that prevented DrJava from being run when downloaded from some servers.  These problems had been fixed within two days of the release. The version number has not been changed since the files were simply uploaded again.  We apologize for the inconvenience.

The Zend Developer Zone has another new tutorial from Padraic Brady talking about testing your applications (i.e. unit tests). In this new article, he expands on his previous one and dives a bit deeper into the behaviour-driven development process.   In this article, I introduce a TDD related practice called Behaviour-Driven Development which has been gathering attention for over a year and gaining converts (like me!).   He briefly covers what BDD is and how it can be used to solidify code against issues that might come up down the road (and how it compares to test-driven development). Some sample code/tests are included to give you a better idea of how it all fits together - a set of scenarios for any given "story". True to the title, Padraic writes his tests around the construction of a Klingon Bird of Prey ship.

Many organizations allocate large resources to implement and deploy packaged ERP, CRM and SCM applications. Now these organizations need to move away from operational efficiency gains achieved and into leveraging their data for performance management and business intelligence.
