XBRL is one of the most interesting XML schemas, and the use of the Extensible Business Reporting Language is probably going to become required by publicly traded companies.
Testing is often viewed as a sign of flawed programming, and the more testing a program needs, the more flawed it's perceived. But should we think of testing as part of the solution, not part of the problem?
Before you discount the future of C++, consider that, with the difficulties confronting multicore development, C++ presents the best tool available to address those problems.
If you want your coders to improve their object-oriented programming skills, here is a test you can give them. The constraints may seem harsh, but no pain, no gain.

TEST & QA REPORT

As a tester of Java and/or .NET applications, do you know where those programs are spending time? If your apps deal with XML, HTML or another text-based protocol, they're likely bogged down with text-to-number conversions.
Hardly a day goes by when I don't see or hear of another company building a tool or application on Eclipse's Rich Client Platform (RCP). When they use RCP, they have many expectations, often based on how they see Eclipse installations such as Classic or RCP/Plug-in developers behaving.
By the time you finish reading this, you'll either be happily recalling your mid-April trip to California, or thinking about Boston in September. Or maybe-hopefully-you'll be doing both.
This week's links are for testers and QA professionals.
It's not an exercise in repetitive redundancy. It's a plan to use automation technologies to help automate your tests. And it's the brainchild of IDT testing consultant and author Elfriede Dustin.
Geniutec has been busy of late, posting milestone releases yesterday of MyEclipse 6.5 and 6.5 Blue Edition, the latest versions of its subscription-based IDEs.
Last week I wrote from STPCon in San Mateo, Calif., about a brief and telling encounter I had with industry guru Rob Sabourin, lover of Scrum and all things testing. I also promised to share one of his recent adventures in transitioning a test team to the practice.
A pair of projects were launched last week under the Device Software Development Platform (DSDP) project, one to build communications between debugging and monitoring devices, and the other aimed at creating C/C++ tools for devices with limited resources.
Rob Sabourin is smitten with Scrum. For proof, mention the development framework and watch his body language, as I just did.
There are lots of Eclipse-related blogs out there, but many seem to have fizzled. Here's a list of some of the most active.
