Pairwise Testing

Pairwise Testing
"Pairwise (a.k.a. all-pairs) testing is an effective test case generation technique that is based on the observation that most faults are caused by interactions of at most two factors. Pairwise-generated test suites cover all combinations of two therefore are much smaller than exhaustive ones yet still very effective in finding defects"

Vim for TextMate Fans

Alex Young: Vim for TextMate Fans:
"Then I found TextMate for Mac OS. The immediacy of TextMate made it easy to get started with, and it has many excellent features. The problem is, I’m not always using a Mac. But you know who’ll follow me around to every platform I use? Good old vim! So I started thinking, how could I make vim feel more like TextMate?"

Head first into javascript (and jQuery)

Musings of an Anonymous Geek: Head first into javascript (and jQuery):
"Once the CSS was done, I was informed that I’d now need to take the tabular reporting table I just created and make it sort on any of the columns, get the data via AJAX calls to a flat file that would store the JSON for the dummy data, create nice drop-down date pickers so date ranges in the report could be chosen by the end user, page the data using a flickr-style pager so only 20 lines would show up on a page, and alternate the row colors in the table (and make sure that doesn’t break when you sort!)."

"With rsync (which is built into both MacOS, Linux, & FreeBSD, and can be installed on Windows) and a little shell scripting, you can mimic everything but the GUI and you don't need no stinking sparse files. I even wrote a little script that I'll share with you at the end of this post."
Must try this when I get some more storage.
