For my final post for CS 443, I have decided to write about the code review process. I found a blog series on code review by Dr. Michaela Greiler, “The Ultimate Code Review Blog Post Series.” For this post, I will focus on the sixth entry, “A Code Review Checklist – Focus on the ImportantContinue reading “Good Code Reviewing”

After CS-443’s class this week, I decided to further investigate CMMI, Capability Maturity Model Integration, process model. I found testbytes’ article, “What is CMMI? (Capability Maturity Model Integration),” to be illuminating. This article gives an overview of CMMI and why it is used in software development. At the end of the article is a linkContinue reading “CMMI and TMMI”

Time to read up on mutation testing. Jasper Sprengers’ article, “Sensible mutation testing: don’t go on a killing spree,” gives a small overview of mutation testing and then explains how killing all mutants is not always necessary. The article uses an example to show how a simple class requires extensive testing to kill all mutants.Continue reading “Mutation testing”

For this post, I looked for some info on code coverage. Garrett Levy’s article “The Importance of Code Coverage,” covers the types of code coverage and why they are important. It is a short read and it helped clear up some uncertainties I had. The article starts off by explaining the reasons for code coverage.Continue reading “Time to cover up”

After today’s CS443 class, I decided to look further into Checkstyle. “How Open-Sourced Projects use Checkstyle,” by Sider Team is a thorough article about Checkstyle. I focused on the sections containing the Checkstyle overview, the default check item categories, and the default coding styles included with Checkstyle. After doing this, I would recommend to othersContinue reading “Getting Checkstyle-ish”

When testing a system, known as the System Under Test or SUT, the system needs to have access to its dependencies but often the access given is just clever mimicry. Testing doubles are used to replace a system’s dependencies with varied functionality. The article “Test Doubles — Fakes, Mocks and Stubs,” by Michal Lipski, explainsContinue reading “Testing Doubles”

This blog will be a look into my point-of-view of pursuing a career in Computer Science. This blog was started as a requirement for a couple of my CS classes but I intend on using it for non-school content as well. The classes that will be referenced in some of my posts are Software QualityContinue reading “An Introduction”
