SOA and agility

“”There’s extra ignorance in SOA because we haven’t done it before” – Gregor Hophe

Do it small and do it agile, you can design as much as you want but it’ll be something else in the end. 😉

Oracle XE on Linux

I’m not a big fan of Oracle. I’ve had my fair share of problems with their products, but I’ve mentioned before that I think they’re on the right track. As one example you now got deb packages for Oracle Express Edition. Check out a tutorial here.

Update: Another blog that also includes some details about environment and user creation here.

Coverlipse – Visualize JUnit-test coverage

I came across a new Eclipse-plugin today called Coverlipse. I’ve just started using it and I must say, it’s quite good and informative. When I run my JUnit tests through Coverlipse it displays an icon in the left margin indicating wether or not the line was tested by JUnit. This makes it easier to patch up holes in my tests.

Coverlipse is an Eclipse plugin that visualizes the code coverage of JUnit Tests. It is unique for it integrates seamlessly in Eclipse. The coverage results are given directly after a JUnit run. This makes it the perfect tool for developers to recognize their tests fullfil their task.

I haven’t done any extensive testing but it suites my needs this far 🙂

These screenshots will give you an idea of how this plugin works..
