Thanks! It worked perfectly for Ubuntu 8.10 (Ibex). (I’m also using Sequel instead of ActiveRecord.)

Comment on Don’t write tests to test your code by Kekoa

Although I think your point is very valid, I think some testing is better than no testing. I have seen it be very difficult to change the mindset of seasoned programmers. They just don’t get TDD, and hate testing in general.

Even if testing is done out of order I feel like there is some benefit, mainly that you step through your own logic twice, and have an opportunity to catch errors in your reasoning.

In my experience TDD is much easier in the earlier stages, later on, you end up having to still change both your tests and code when things change.

Suites can be connected to form a tree. A suite for the interface contract can be added as a child to the suite that tests the class.

About telling which implementation of the interface to test, it is quite easy with JUint 3 where you are creating suites yourself. You can just add a method to the suite that will take an implementation factory and will propagate it into all contained tests. Then you need to do a call to supply the factory in addition to attaching the interface test suite as a child to your class test suite.
