Test Oriented Languages: Is it Time for a New Era?
Have you ever wished that code was easier to test? This paper (and associated slides) explore a different approach to testing.
It explores extensions to current mock-driven trends by making testing as easy as possible, answering the question: Should you have to form your code in a certain way to make it testable? The language described, QUILT, reduces the barrier for testing by encouraging the mocking of methods rather than classes. With QUILT you can even test last if you want to (although I’m not suggesting that you do, just that the choice should be yours).
