Re^2: feeling rather stagnant ...

trying to write more tests for things has been high up on my list right now. i keep running into what feels like the same wall with code here @ work -- too dependent on Javascript for me to write a good test suite of the front-end code ... i've been playing with Test::WWW::Mechanize recently, and it's good stuff ... but the bugs i set out to test ... couldn't be replicated because of the d*@#ed Javascript.

so, the Phalanx-100 might be something i can jump into, depending on the time commitment, and how much 'learning time' i can con the bossman into. ;-)

Check out the Web Application Testing In Ruby project. Learning a little Ruby has drastically improved my OO understanding, I'm doing effective test automation of an all-Javascript-in-frames UI, and I still need Perl to glue the whole thing together.	[reply]

FYI - I'd look at JSUnit, if you want. :-) Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing. Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid. Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence. Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.	[reply]
