This Week in Grails (2011-47)
Monday, November 28th, 2011Rob Fletcher wrote a very interesting post about his frustration with functional testing. It’s long but a good read, especially if you’ve done a fair bit of functional testing yourself. Also check out Luke Daley’s reply
.
If you’re not a subscriber of the Groovy-Dev mailing list you should check out this thread on static compilation. There are a lot of replies (over 50) and it gets rather technical but it’s fascinating stuff.
This is old news (from two weeks ago) but it’s new to me; the Grails-based myBalsamiq has officially launched. It’s a cool-looking tool for doing collaborative UI mockups.
