Automated Testing: Obstacles, Pitfalls, and DangersStephen Ritchie
The document discusses the motivation, principles, and obstacles of automated testing. It motivates automated testing by noting how it provides visibility into problems, detects issues early, and acts as an advance warning system. The principles discussed are having tests that are zero configuration, fast, provide clear results, and are easy to maintain. Obstacles covered include tests becoming too specific over time, reliance on system time/date, dependency on databases changing test data, and tests becoming too coupled through overuse of reuse. Examples are provided to illustrate the points.
The document discusses using Voicethread, a collaborative multimedia platform that allows users to leave comments on slides containing images, documents, and videos using voice, text, audio, or video. It can be used to differentiate instruction for students in various subjects like math, language arts, reading, and science. Voicethread allows for many ways to comment, embeds content like images and presentations, and includes doodling and moderation features. The document suggests Voicethread is a free tool that can be used to differentiate the process and product of student work.

The document summarizes the Eclipse Demo Camp Tokyo 2010 event which featured presentations on Quick JUnit for unit testing in Java, JAMCircle for Eclipse plugin development, and JRuby and JavaScript integration. It provides information on the presenters and links to related projects and websites for Quick JUnit and JAMCircle.
The document discusses Eclipse Demo Camp on September 6th at 19:00. It provides examples of code organization for a Kanban board application using YAML configuration files, OSGi bundles, and data storage with ZIP files. Code examples demonstrate parsing YAML configuration, translating data types, and loading/dumping lane data to ZIP storage. Links are included for additional OSGi documentation and contact information.
