I would really like to organiser a kata afternoon :) Stef On Sep 21, 2013, at 12:06 PM, Noury Bouraqadi <bouraqadi@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi,
Last ESUG I attended the cool katas session organized by Stephan Eggermont and Laurent Laffont. That was a good opportunity to step back and think about my TDD practices .
To experiment with the style proposed by Laurent, I started writing tests for a pong. I ended up having groups of nearly identical tests: -they use exactly the same objects, send the same messages, -but they differ only by values.
An example, is testing the motion of the ball towards different directions or collisions with obstacles at different locations or speeds.
Now, I wonder what is the best way to express those similar tests?
In a short discussion before I leave, Stephane told me about tables of values. It seem that there is such a support in the ruby world in the cucumber framework. Do we have anything similar in Smalltalk world?
BTW, the full ESUG conference was great. Thanx to local organizers, and all people that contributed to make it a success.
Thanx, Noury Ecole des Mines de Douai http://car.mines-douai.fr/noury --
