Future Mocking
Mocking legacy code is hard. Especially, if it’s a third-party library and you have little control over how it’s written. It is even more difficult to unit test a type that is instantiated internally. One can argue that it should be refactored to accept dependencies via constructor injection. However, constraints such as time, budget, experience with the offending code, or even access to the source often prevent paying down the technical debt accumulated in these legacy systems. This post will show you how to mock an external library (concept) where it calls a login service class that cannot be sent... -

Week 2 at AcceleratorHK
Last week was our second week at AcceleratorHK and things are starting to fall into a good cadence. On Monday, we had our first of the weekly 1:1 meetings and Paul and I worked directly with the teams on the issues that they face. We also had two amazing mentors come in: First was Salim Virani, the creator of Leancamp. He talked to us about Customer Development and took a lot of time out of his vacation time in HK to spend with the teams on how to ask the right Customer Discovery and Customer Validation questions. Later in the week we had Mikaal Abdulla, co-founder of 8 Securities, a Hong... -

Use Visual Event To Explore JavaScript Events In Your Application
Visual Event is a little tool I found. When I say that I "found" it - I literal discovered it after Google-ing "detect javascript events" or something to that effect. Neither Telerik nor I personally have any affiliation with the Visual Event product or its makers. Anyway the tool will help you determine what javascript events are associated with a particular control. Javascript events are a crucial part of UI automation. Good understanding of how and when they are employed in your app can save you a lot of trouble. 90% of the time switching your step to ...May 27, 2021 2 min read -

Fixing Visual Studio 2012 Intellisense for WinJS Files
I have been frustrated by Intellisense acting up when working on WinJS Windows Store applications.

You can do this by dragging the files from your solution explorer. They are located by expanding Windows Library for JavaScript 1.0, and then the “js” folder. Make sure you include the triple swack at... -
