The Green Bar is My Friend

[bcholmes]

Kent Beck (the guy who created both JUnit and eXtreme Programming) is writing an extension to JUnit called JUnitMax.

In his JUnitMax blog, Beck recently wrote up an analysis of 100 person-hours of testing data. Where'd the data come from? From us! The company I work for gathers its unit testing data using an in-house-developed tool called DevCreek (one of my colleagues is the prime mover-and-shaker on that), and we've gathered some 250 million datapoints on JUnit testing. It's kinda cool to see how the data we're gathering can be used.
