    30 Days of TDD – Day 24 – Strictly Mocking

    As I mentioned in my previous post, TDD is easy to do in a green field situation. However for most developers these types of projects are few and far between. Sometimes the brown field project we’re working on don’t lend themselves to unit testing.

    Two Agile Myths- BUSTED!

    Agile is just a series of waterfalls There’s a lot more to being agile than just shortening the cycle.
