I ended up using JMUnit for my mobile java project. The Sony Ericsson jUnit tool is great when you have to run the tests from a PC on a real device or from a “real” jUnit application. It’s a more advanced tool, but for my needs at the moment, it’s a bit overkill. So I […]

I used to work for Sony Ericsson and my first job for the company was developing the J2ME SDK. The last thing I did as a developer was initiating the Mobile jUnit development (another guy finished it, though, and he should get the credit for it becoming a great tool.) This was a couple of […]

I’ll try using the iMacros Firefox plugin for testing a web service I’m developing. Will get back on how good it works. Speaking of Firefox plugins, Firebug is a must have if you’re doing web development. Updated: a quick test and comparison to Selenium makes the latter the winner for testing.

Even the emptiest of wastelands can become the ground on which to build a house. When you start with a blank slate the opportunities are endless but you lack the framework to put them in. This is a great freedom as well as a severe limitation. Be prepared for a long journey and enjoy the […]

If you are a bear, you will need a very special keyboard to write code.
