TDD-CI environment work - definitely a plus

Published 02-07-2007 5:29 PM | jokiz

We still have a job advertisement for a C# developer and one of the requirements is experience in agile software development using Test-Driven Development and Continuous Integration setup.  You can hardly find a .NET company in the Philippines which has this setup so I find it as a reward rather than a requirement.

Too bad he also included CSLA in the posting which in my opinion is contradicting with the tdd aspect (just the statics and the dependency on dataportal, :p).

True, but I still don't get it why your company are hiring people experienced in TDD/CI combo devs while you know they are very few and you can hardly find .NET devs with such qualification. I only know two companies here. Why not just give others the oppurtunity to learn and be trained from it. Is agile companies promotes elitism?

i think it's not a hard requirement. i have experience with TDD but not CI. si build master calisay lang may experience dun, he he. then some of our new teammates don't practice them either. i guess it's just a big plus when it comes to the evaluation. di naman siguro elitism rodel :)

CSLA.NET -- master jokiz pag may time tayo gawa tayo ng MbUnit extension na pang-handle ng testing nito :) or meron na ba? :D

elitism? nope.  it's just a plus if you've worked in that kind of environment.  too bad my boss did not know about the statistics of local .net devs (mas marami pa nga ata for java) on those xp practices.  

besides, the boss does not even require us to practice tdd/ci.  na-setup na kasi ng previous devs, and hopefully, hindi mamatay yung trend.  it's us developers which encourage teammates too.  in our current project, i was not that successful in encouraging my teammates, as a result of my previous posts

sure, pag may time, :p

nahihirapan tuloy ako dito sa current project ko, tightly-coupled ang classes sa data storage mechanism nya...hirap i-test :P

if it's tightly coupled, it's really hard to test in isolation, but you can always depend on integration tests
