@Robb – thanks for the kind praise. When you say “your blog” I’m sure you mean the whole LosTechies blog and not just mine. Either that or you have me confused with somebody else.

@Duncan & @Robb – I know that several of us are going to attempt to record “something”. I can’t make any promises to what we’ll get and the quality, but we’re going to make an effort. I’ll have to check out Ustream.tv too.

@c – We have other types of tests that verify the application from end to end (integration tests) which do hit the database, but for our unit tests, they do not hit the DB.

When I mentioned state based testing, what that means is that I’m verifying that the properties of my object under test are what they’re expected to be after a specified operation. Interaction based testing means that I’m verifying that my object under test is calling methods and properties on its dependencies correctly. The interaction based testing makes it tough when I want to refactor the way I implemented something without changing its functionality.

I would love to come too, but work and family aren’t flexible enough for me to take a road trip from Birmingham, AL. Granted I’m in the same country (sorry Duncan), but I might as well be across the world.

I really enjoy your blog and know the event would be hugely helpful to me as well. If you have decided not to video the event yourself, how about Ustream.tv? They will broadcast your event live and I believe archive it to watch later. All for free.

Most new laptops come with webcams and mics in them. All you would have to do is setup one of these laptops in each of the presentation rooms.

Your blog has become an international information souce for developers. We can’t all live in the greater Austin area. You owe it to your readers to make this attempt.

Regardless, thanks for all your content.

- do you not write any tests for the database integration at all now or you separate them to run independently from he purely state based?

I’m still trying to get the hang of tdd and am definately not working in a TDD shop…
