I'm trying to maintain some semblance of quality here, so I'm going TDD as much as possible.
The code I'm working on needs to populate, let's say a `List<Foo>` from a DataReader that returns all the fields required for a functioning Foo. However, if I want to verify that the code in fact returns one list item per one database row, I'm writing test code that looks something like this:
Expect.Call(reader.Read()).Return(true);
Expect.Call(reader["foo_id"]).Return((long) 1);
// ....
Expect.Call(reader.Read()).Return(true);
Expect.Call(reader["foo_id"]).Return((long) 2);
// ....
Expect.Call(reader.Read()).Return(false);
Which is rather tedious and rather easily broken, too.
How should I be approaching this issue so that the result won't be a huge mess of brittle tests?
Btw I'm currently using Rhino.Mocks for this, but I can change it if the result is convincing enough. Just as long as the alternative isn't TypeMock, because their EULA was a bit too scary for my tastes last I checked. | tdd | mocking | unit-testing | csharp | null | null | open | How should I test a method that populates a list from a DataReader?

In <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-DOM-Level-1-19981001/level-one-core.html">DOM Level 1 Core</a>, Text.splitText is defined as...
>Breaks this Text node into two Text nodes at the specified offset, keeping both in the tree as siblings. This node then only contains all the content up to the offset point. And a new Text node, which is inserted as the next sibling of this node, contains all the content at and after the offset point.
Normalise is...
>Puts all Text nodes in the full depth of the sub-tree underneath this Element into a "normal" form where only markup (e.g., tags, comments, processing instructions, CDATA sections, and entity references) separates Text nodes, i.e., there are no adjacent Text nodes. This can be used to ensure that the DOM view of a document is the same as if it were saved and re-loaded, and is useful when operations (such as XPointer lookups) that depend on a particular document tree structure are to be used.
So, if I take a text node containing "Hello World", referenced in textNode, and do
textNode.splitText(3)
textNode now has the content "Hello", and a new sibling containing " World"
If I then
textNode.parent.normalize()
*what is textNode*? The specification doesn't make it clear that textNode has to still be a child of it's previous parent, just updated to contain all adjacent text nodes (which are then removed). It seems to be to be a conforment behaviour to remove all the adjacent text nodes, and then recreate a new node with the concatenation of the values, leaving textNode pointing to something that is no longer part of the tree. Or, we can update textNode in the same fashion as in splitText, so it retains it's tree position, and gets a new value.
The choice of behaviour is really quite different, and I can't find a clarification on which is correct, or if this is simply an oversight in the specification (it doesn't seem to be clarified in levels 2 or 3). Can any DOM/XML gurus out there shed some light? | dom | null | null | null | null | null | open | Should DOM splitText and normalise compose to give the identity?

I can't add an index permanently as the user is nominating what column they're looking for. | 0 |

You want to allow these to call home after being powered on, then be identified and activated by end users.
Our current plan involves the user entering the MAC address into an activation page on our web site. Later our software (running on the box) will read the address from the interface and transmit this in a "call home" packet. If it matches, the server response with customer information and the box is activated.
We like this approach because it's easy to access, and usually printed on external labels (FCC requirement?).
Any problems to watch out for? (The hardware in use is small form factor so all NICs, etc are embedded and would be very hard to change. Customers don't normally have direct acccess to the OS in any way).
I know Microsoft does some crazy fuzzy-hashing function for Windows activation using PCI device IDs, memory size, etc. But that seems overkill for our needs. | ethernet | drm | activation | licensing | null | null | open | Ethernet MAC address as activation code for an appliance?

Can anyone recommend a good Podcast for Quality Assurance / Tester folks. I find there is a wide variety on development but yet to find a good one for QA/Testing ( not from the developer point of view ).

Does anyone know of a more GUI based command shell that helps a user or displays answers in a more friendly way? I'm aware of IPython, but even the syntax of that is somewhat convoluted, although it's a step in the right direction.
Further to this, results could be presented graphically, e.g. wouldn't it be nice to be able to pipe file sizes into a pie chart?

* "You have logged in successfully"
* "An error has occurred, please call the helpdesk on x100"
* "You do not have the authority to reset all system passwords" etc
So that "when" the users decide they don't like the wording of messages I don't have to change the source cdoe, recompile then redeploy - instead I just change the message store.
I really like the way that I can easily access strings in the web.config using keys and values.
> ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("LOGINSUCCESS")
However as I could have a large number of application messages I didn't want to use the web.config directly. I was going to add a 2nd web config file and use that but of course you can only have one per virtual directory.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this without writing much custom code?

Basically, i'd like to replace a set of primitive constants of a enumeration with a set of static final object references encapsulated in a class ? .
In Java, we can do something like:
public final class Enum
{
public static final Enum ENUMITEM1 = new Enum ();
public static final Enum ENUMITEM2 = new Enum ();
//...
private Enum () {}
}
and make comparisons using the customized enumeration type:
if (anObject != Enum.ENUMITEM1) ...

I need present the user with a set of video codecs, including the compressors and decompressors. The output would look something like
<pre>
Available Decoders
DiVX Version 6.0
XVID
Motion JPEG
CompanyX's MPEG-2 Decoder
Windows Media Video
**Available Encoders**
DiVX Version 6.0
Windows Media Video
</pre>
The problem that I am running into is that there is no reliable way to to capture all of the decoders available to the system. For instance:
1) You can enumerate all the decompressors using DirectShow, but this tells you nothing about the compressors (encoders).
2) You can enumerate all the Video For Windows components, but you get no indication if these are encoders or decoders.
3) There are DirectShow filters that may do the job for you perfectly well (Motion JPEG filter for example), but there is no indication that a particular DirectShow filter is a "video decoder".
Has anyone found a generalizes solution for this problem using any of the Windows APIs? Does the Windows Vista [Media Foundation API](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Foundation) solve any of these issues?
Thanks

It is happening regularly and seem to be triggered by traffic. We are writing via .NET's FileStream object.
Basically we are writing from a Windows 2003 Server running IIS to a Windows 2003 file share cluster. When writing to the file share, the IIS server often gets two errors. One is an Application Popup from Windows, the other is a warning from MRxSmb. Both say the same thing:
> [Delayed Write Failed] Windows was unable to save all the data for the file \Device\LanmanRedirector. The data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save this file elswhere.
On reads, we are also getting errors, which are System.IO.IOException errors: "The specified network name is no longer available."
We have other servers writing more and larger files to this File Share Cluster without an issue. It's only coming from the one group of servers that the issue comes up. So it doesn't seem related to writing large files. We've applied all the hotfixes referenced in articles online dealing with this issue, and yet it continues.
Our network team ran Network Monitor and didn't see any packet loss, from what I understand, but as I wasn't present for that test I can't say that for certain.
Any ideas of where to check? I'm out of avenues to explore or tests to run. I'm guessing the issue is some kind of network problem, but as it's only happening when these servers connect to that File Share cluster, I'm not sure what kind of problem it might be.
This issue is awfully specific, and potentially hardware related, but any help you can give would be of assistance.

This is what happens, every now and then, when the slave tries to replicate an item that does not exist, the slave just dies. a quick check at **SHOW SLAVE STATUS \G;** gives

which I promptly fix (once I realize that the slave has been stopped) by doing the following:
STOP SLAVE;
RESET SLAVE;
START SLAVE;
... lately this has been getting kind of tiresome, and before I spit out some sort of PHP which does this for me, i was wondering if there's some my.cnf entry which will not kill the slave on the first error.

My job is to penetrate into whatever client/customer environment I have been assigned to and bring about technological improvements (or sometimes, black magic tricks) to boost their business/domain.
As I am sure many out there are just like me, you would know first hand the situation I describe. The environment we step into is not plain barren land waiting for brand new systems to be built upon. we inherit a world of legacy, and the world ain't perfect. It is less than complete, comprehensive, and systematic.
There is a black box system developed in some ancient arcane platform. The vendor has closed shop 15 years ago. No source code or documentation exists. The corporate network is managed by a 3rd-party global infrastructure team and configuring all the firewalls your application will touch involves contacting over 30 different personnel. Your customer liaison doesn't know who they are either. Nobody dares to modify the framework layer code base ever since the original architects quit three years ago; they don't even know if the code in the version-control repository is the latest. The DBA or application team are always unavailable, and you cannot connect to the database or authenticate with their web service to pull the data for integrated or stress test. Nobody claims responsibility for that monitoring server in the corner with the crackling hard disks. The CIO knows squat about the enterprise architecture and what systems are in place, and commands no technological direction for the coming five years. What are the passwords to the servers in the DR site?
Essentially, it is an environment where processes, information, documentation, and knowledge have been loss to time as generations gone by and relationships vaporized. Chaos is guaranteed when disaster happens, because the correct group of trained personnel to handle the situation are non-existent. A humongous amount of time and effort is spent peeling the layers of murk and dusting and combing for clues. Details absolutely necessary to get the our own jobs done.
I have not come across any book that touches such job factors and conditions. Yes, a great deal is all about social engineering and dealing with the human factor to chart and plot the political boundaries (official or otherwise, public or hidden) and knowing the exact people to get things done. And *that* is part and parcel of our daily routine. I would *love* to read about the experience of others in their quest to overcome these hurdles of "lost technology" or "civilization". If there can really ever be a systematic guideline or approach in the unearthing and self inference of these artifacts?

Yes, a great deal is all about social engineering and dealing with the human factor to chart and plot the political boundaries (official or otherwise, public or hidden) and knowing the exact people to get things done. And *that* is part and parcel of our daily routine. I would *love* to read about the experience of others in their quest to overcome these hurdles of "lost technology" or "civilization". If there can really ever be a systematic guideline or approach in the unearthing and self inference of these artifacts?
Am I crazy to wish for such a book? | 0 |
