What happened to NSpec? I am not sure if all of you know but the NBehave project consolidated with the NSpec project a while back, since then we have been pretty silent about what we are doing because we wanted to give the community something they could simply drop in and not be to evasive in its implementation...

I had to blog about this because it brought a smile to my face when I saw it. After some discussion yesterday over the benefits of implementing a REST model in ASP.Net MVC . I was up late last night looking over the MVCContrib project. I came across Adam Tybor's SimplyRestful contribution. When I...

What timing I just finished reading JP's blog about how he paired with Scott Bellware and modified his Macro for BDD. Well, while they were busy doing that I decided to make a screencast on some modifications I did to JP's initial macro. I extended his macro in concert with some ReSharper templates...

This is a response to Scott Bellware’s recent post on “ BDD and Requirements Traceability - Oh No, Not Again” It is true that we are inevitably doomed to repeat our past mistakes if subsequent generations are unaware of the travails of its previous generation, and requirements traceability is one form...

Today at the Alt.Net conference we discussed Behavior Driven Design. The debate was heated and there were varying opinions on “What is BDD?” and how to implement it. What I am worried about is that I think we did more harm than good with this session in bringing awareness to the .Net community regarding...

I am pleased to announce that Tim Haughton has agreed to join his NSpec project with NBehave! So what does this mean for you the developers? Well it means that you have one OSS project team supporting multiple BDD frameworks for the .Net framework! Think of it more as a centralized project for the many...

I just finished reading Dean Wamplers post on Why you have time for TDD (but may not know it yet...) . He brings up excellent's points that Agilist struggle with when trying to convey to a client on why they need TDD and how they can justify spending the time to do it. A must read.

This is an attempt to answer Scott Bellware’s concerns and questions about NBehave . Scott, first off thanks for posing the question I really appreciate open honest feedback. I want to make sure that everyone understands that I don’t treat Agile as a prescriptive process that has to be rigidly followed...

Jimmy Bogard has an excellent post show casing some of the new features of NBehave 0.3 . Some of the new features include: Pending scenarios Console runner Decorate your tests with "Theme" and "Story" attributes Scenario result totals Dry run output I could go on but Jimmy does a...

This is really exciting news! I am proud to say that Behave# and Morgan Persson's NBehave project have combined into one OSS project under the moniker of NBehave . We decided to keep the NBehave name because as Morgan kindly put it: "...it connects to the cousin framework(s) in other languages...

Nelson Montalvo has been gracious enough to post his experiences working with Behave#. Please make sure to check out his post . His point about the discovery of the his API through the story definition is very encouraging.

After receiving several emails and reading Roy Osherove's post on Behave#, I wanted to give more incite and answer some questions that were asked about Behave# and BDD in general. What is BDD? I am really going to do one hell of a hack job on Behavior-Driven.org but my intentions are to draw you...

I was working on some code this weekend and happened to come across NUnit 2.4's new constraint objects . I can't believe I just now found out about this! I am glad to see that the mocking frameworks influenced this addition to NUnit. Being a big fan of fluent interfaces, I love how the new constraint...

Well over the past week or so I have been working off and on with improving the usage of NUnit.Behave. It started off being tightly coupled with NUnit since you actually had to inherit an abstract fixture that exposed the "Given, When, Then" BDD constructs. With a bit of tinkering with C# generics...

I just received an email from Kevin Rutherford indicating that I have been mentioned in the Agile Alliance's Carnival of Agilists news letter. This blog is a twice-monthly collection of links to articles about Agile Software Development, ideas, commentary, news, products, books, and fun. If you have...
