Do you know any open software projects that had particularly interesting / well written unit tests ?

Writing unit tests often feels odd to me, because it seems either too random, too dense, to sparse, .. It would be great to read some real world examples (rather than books, library example code etc)..

In recent years, I have only written small components for people in larger projects or small tools.

Hi, If I have a method which establishes a database connection, how could this method be tested? Returning a bool in the event of a successful connection is one way, but is that the best way? From a testability method, is it best to have the connection method as one method and the method to get… >>> More

I've been working with C# for the last 2 years, and I've never done any unit testing. I just need to know what the objective of unit testing is. What kind of results do we expect from unit testing?

But since TDD is such a radical mind shift for a non-unit testing team I thought I would just start off with writing unit… >>> More

Scaling Literate Programming?

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
Greetings. I have been looking at Literate Programming a bit now, and I do like the idea behind it: you basically write a little paper about your code and write down as much of the design decisions, the code probably surrounding the module, the inner workins of the module, assumptions and conclusions… >>> More

A fair bit is written about literate programming, but I've yet to see any project that uses it in any capacity, nor have I seen it used to teach programming. My sample may small, so I'm looking for evidence that literate programming exists and is successful in the real world. >>> More

The default value of a parameter of my function contains a "%". This seems to be a problem for roxygen, it produces a lot of warnings and R CMD check fails when trying to build latex documentation.

What's the best way to do literate programming in Python on Windows?

I've been playing with various ways of doing literate programming in Python. I like noweb, but I have two main problems with it: first, it is hard to build on Windows, where I spend about half my development time; and second, it requires me to indent each chunk of code as it will be in the final… >>> More
