12 steps for software development


  1. We admitted we were powerless over planing—that our time had become unmanageable. 
  2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. 
  3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of The Team. 
  4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. 
  5. Admitted to The Team, and to managers the exact nature of our wrongs. 
  6. Were entirely ready to have The Team remove all these defects of character. 
  7. Humbly asked The Team to remove our shortcomings. 
  8. Made a list of all projects we had harmed, and became willing to fix them all. 
  9. Made direct bug fixes to such projects wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. 
  10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it. 
  11. Sought through code review and automation to improve our conscious contact with The Team, committing only tested features. 
  12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other developers and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Your client is smart and does some magic for connections (proxy, cache or other kind of magic). Or maybe you just have written a service for that matter. Anyway, you now want to test it. Unit testing the functionality of your methods is a must. But you still want to reach 100% coverage and need to test the service as it would run in real life. Then you can use the javax.xml.ws.Endpoint class. If you prefer figuring it out yourself, you can find the code (as a project for netbeans) -- here -- To follow the code examples as html click   --here-- So here is how you do it: If you've coded nothing fancy, then you probably have a class like this: This is a generic client for opening connections to services. It gives you back a port of the type of your service where you can call your operation as a method of the port. It is very...

Guide to hiring software developers for your dream team

You want to hire a new developer to support your team, or want to build up a new development team? New trends show how everybody is investing their money in software development. In my opinion, every company today has to do some software (or should), but there are very different ways to go about it. You could have some kind of  project managers supervising an outsourced team in Bangalore or Rio doing your software. If that works for you be happy, but you should be aware that you are not investing in software as in creating value for your company. Your software is costing you like you were leasing a machine. Lots of companies have found out the hard way, that this model does not suffices. Different to leasing a machine, you will not get the new model in 2 years just like that. In order to be competitive in today's market you need to invest in the knowledge that is reflected by your software applications and house them intern. If your company has decided to build up...
