General unit testing concepts/practices in JavaScript against different browsers?

I’ve been writing unit tests in strongly typed languages and I have a fair good understanding about it. When writing unit tests in JavaScript to verify if certain functions are working properly in certain browsers I am back to the manual testing. I have no understanding of how it works. Because JavaScript is meant to close the gap betwee...

Why does the Hudson Integration Game plugin does not work after update?

Recently I updated the cigame-plugin for Hudson to version 1.12. Now I recognized, that no build get points at the moment. The builds are SCM-triggered and the CI-game is activated for the project and the user. What is going wrong? How can I fix it? EDIT: I have to correct, the update to the new version of the plugin isn't the problem. ...

I overheard another team where I work talking about blackberry development - they are having issues automating builds for blackberry.

Hudson or Teamcity for continuous integration?

We are a Java shop looking for a CI tool to use. Both Hudson and Teamcity seem to be free but Teamcity seems slicker and with more support. I was wondering why one would still use Hudson and if anyone could provide any argument for/against either? ...

How do you generate release notes?

Continuous Integration with 64-bit Sharepoint and TFS 2008?

I've set up a 64-bit TFS 2008 build server with Sharepoint, continuous integration and out-of-the-box MSTest. Unit tests for plain business logic classes run just fine and test results are published into TFS. However, any test that uses Sharepoint's API fails horribly, SPFarm.Local returning null and so on. Is there a way to fix this? T...

I've been evaluating Hudson, with an eye to convert to it from CC.NET. In CC.NET, I've gotten my emails to include test statistics, such as # of tests run, how many failed, etc. It even shows in red "this project has no tests" which is a great motivator, right? Is there any way to accomplish this in Hudson? I've tried the email-ext p...
