Comment on Hudson and Symfony continuous integration by Rich

We use Lime, as obviously it comes with Symfony and it’s got a pretty low entry barrier to getting started and using it for tests. In particular, the functional tests are the aspect that is probably the most useful for us. It’s definitely extensive enough for projects we’ve done – at the end of the day, the methods available in Lime will cover most of what you’ll need to do in your unit and subsequent functional tests so it’s been great for us.

i am looking to implement a similar solution for my company’s new symfony project.

question for you:
are you using phpunit or just lime?
is you are simply using lime, do you find it extensive enough to cover you testing needs?

Ed’s Mo is my favourite – good handlebar and tickler combo.

Sorry – wasn’t unable to take the pic till the evening, so there’s a bit of fuzz.

Comment on Designing inside the browser by Dave

It’s a really interesting article : I particularly like the approach to browser compatibility – it makes a lot of sense. Most designers wanting to follow Andy’s method to its extreme would probably need to learn some new skills, but a pair programming approach of a designer directing a skilled (and speedy) HTML and CSS dev may be a good alternative. If the designer gets bored while waiting for his instructions to be carried out, he could start creating some graphics or illustrations.

Great post. You’re a man after my own heart! Keep ranting! If we don’t demand good service, we will never receive it.

Totally agree. But in the same breath, if you are working with someone else’s code, you have to have the knowledge to know when/if the wrong tool has been used for the job, and it would be more effective *and save time in the long run* to use something more appropriate.

But then that should be an informed decision, based on costing, performance, time and valid reasoning, and not just “I have this wizzy framework that all the cool kids are talking about and I’m going to crowbar it in there”.

Think we are saying the same thing actually. Getting my coat too.

@leisa – thanks that’s good to know. I may well email you at some point in the future as I try out some affinity sorting type stuff.

@solle – that’s a definitely maybe as in I’d love to but there may be practical constraints. I’ll drop you an email.
