Cartoon Tester
I'm a tester, I test, some days I enjoy testing. I follow a few testing blogs and when ever I can I add comments in test forums. I hope through the test cartoon blog, testers will understand something new about the craft of testing. You can contact me on cartoontesting@gmail.com

Intellij and Junit Testing
I spent all day trying to fathom out how to install Intellij and java on usb key. After several reformattings and installation of various forms of JRE's and JDK's I was able to compile and run some junit testing on a script I found on the net. I will write-up a tutorial in the next couple of days as Ive got to get my last essay written up by Friday.
To get you started download this JRE and install to F:\java
Then download and install intellij community version from here to a folder of your choice.
When installed its time to configure intellij
go to the folder where you installed intellij and locate the bin folder. within that folder find idea.exe and run.
when the main screen loads select file and then program structure and a pop-window appears.
The word Project should be highlighted on the left hand side and if not select it.
On the right hand side you should see Project SDK and underneath that three boxes
Select New and then select jsdk option and another pop-up will appear. Go to your usb drive and select your java folder and click apply and close. You will now be able to run java programs from intellij.
Stage one over Stage two later on in the week

Webinar: Lessons Learned from Validating 60,000 pages of API Documentation
I just found this link to a webinar today at five our time for the following discussion
" In 2002, the US Department of Justice and EU regulators ordered Microsoft to publish documentation sufficient to allow third parties to interoperate with hundreds of its server and client programs. This webinar highlights the novel requirements engineering and model-based testing devised to validate the resulting 60,000 pages of API documentation. This process resulted in over 50,000 defect corrections. Lessons learned from this project can improve quality, reduce costs, and facilitate interoperability of any complex system." Its free to register for

Dependency injection
Dependency injection (DI) is a design pattern in object-oriented computer programming whose purpose is to reduce the coupling between software components. It is similar to the factory method pattern. Frequently an object uses (depends on) work produced by another part of the system. With DI, the object does not need to know in advance about how the other part of the system works. Instead, the programmer provides (injects) the relevant system component in advance along with a contract that it will behave in a certain way.

Mock objects
In object-oriented programming, mock objects are simulated objects that mimic the behavior of real objects in controlled ways. A computer programmer typically creates a mock object to test the behavior of some other object, in much the same way that a car designer uses a crash test dummy to simulate the dynamic behavior of a human in vehicle impacts.
