Goodness time flies! It has been a while since we've had a blog update, While I really would like to keep the conversation we have going on here moving, this is how I would like you to envision what I have been up to recently:... 続きを読む >>

Ajay Puvvala is my friend and colleague at the MathWorks. He also led the development of the TestTags feature we spoke about last post.Ajay, as per usual, made a great comment after last week's... 続きを読む >>

I have found that with any reasonably sized software project, sooner or later organization becomes important. As additional features and capabilities are introduced into a toolbox it becomes... 続きを読む >>

Andy: Today I'd like to introduce a fellow MathWorker with whom I will be tag teaming for content on this blog. His name is Arvind Hosagrahara and he is a principal technical consultant in the... 続きを読む >>

I once faced a question from a friend who was perusing MATLAB documentation while implementing a test suite for some production software and found an example test which used the addTeardown method... 続きを読む >>

What can we learn about software from an ice cream shop? Quite a bit apparently. It was in the early 70's that Steve's Ice Cream opened and introduced the world to the notion of mix-ins. The idea was... 続きを読む >>

Sometimes, Java® bugs me.Don't get me wrong, in many ways it is a beautiful language full of elegant structure and all the tools you need to help drive robust architectures. However, the flipside... 続きを読む >>

Last time we had a small discussion about the merits of keeping inheritance hierarchies shallow and avoiding the creation of deep, multi-level structures. This is all fine and dandy, but how do we... 続きを読む >>

The conventional wisdom these days seems to be that it is better to go deep, not wide. Whether this is in education, marketing, or general approaches to focused living, there seems to be an theme these days that if you favor breadth over depth the result will be shallow, without substance, and spread thin. The generalist it seems has seen better days in the court of public opinion. Is that true in life? I dunno, perhaps.... 続きを読む >>

OK, so remember how we just went through the exercise (not just once, but twice) of how you can write a function to help parallelize your test runs? Well all of that still applies if you have not yet upgraded to MATLAB R2015a. However, if you do have R2015a you now get this out of the box because the TestRunner now has a runInParallel method!... 続きを読む >>
