.Net 4.5 came out with a really handy built-in asynchronous mechanism, async and await. However the method signature of a void method is a bit strange: public async Task SomeAction(){…} It is possible to use async void but it’s not recommended unless we...

Este post habla de dos de los valores de XP: Simplicidad y Feedback. Fundamentales y habitualmente olvidados. Cuando escribimos software o dibujamos una interfaz de usuario, estamos dando forma a una solución concreta de las muchas que puede tener un problema. Al...

Lately I am using fake objects more than the other common kinds of doubles – stubs, spies and mocks. This is quite recent, I used to prefer stubs, spies or mocks. I find that fakes make my tests less fragile in the case of outside-in development when it comes to...
