JUnit FAQ - 0 views

  • They effectively communicate in an executable format how to use the software. They also prevent tendencies to over-build the system based on speculation. When all the tests pass, you know you're done!
  • Test-driven development is a lot more fun than writing tests after the code seems to be working
  • Do I have to write a test for everything? No, just test everything that could reasonably break.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • If something is difficult to test, it's usually an opportunity for a design improvement.
  • Frequent testing gives you confidence that your changes didn't break anything and generally lowers the stress of programming in the dark.
  • Run all your unit tests as often as possible, ideally every time the code is changed
  • For larger systems, you may just run specific test suites that are relevant to the code you're working on.
  • write a failing test that exposes the defect. When the test passes, you know the defect is fixed!
  • Don't forget to use this as a learning opportunity. Perhaps the defect could have been prevented by being more aggressive about testing everything that could reasonably break.

How to Point Multiple Domain Names to One Website: And How to Avoid Search Engine Probl... - 0 views

  • The 3 sites, "example.com", "example.net" and "example.org", all point to the exact same page on the site's web host. It is done by hosting all three sites on the same web host, and arranging it so that they all resolve to the same account.
  • That is, there's a simple way to tell the search engines that all 3 domains point to the same site, and to add up all the links together and associate them with that site.
  • Next, you will also need to arrange with your web host to host all your domains so that they point to the same website.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • After pointing all your domains to your website, you'll have to decide which of those domains is going to be your primary or main domain.
  • The kind of redirection employed above is recognised by search engines as an indication that all your different domains have moved permanently to your primary domain.
  • After setting the above, wait a couple of days for your changes to spread (or in the technical jargon for such things, "propagate") throughout the world, then test your secondary domains in your web browser.
  •  
    "A visitor recently asked me whether it was possible to point multiple domain names to one website, more or less the conceptual reverse of what I wrote about in "Can I Create Multiple Websites with One Domain Name?". This article discusses why a person might want to do this, how it can be accomplished, and provides a practical guide on the additional steps you need to take in order to avoid losing potential search engine ranking as a result of doing things this way."
