Unit tests saves the day

Monday, November 10th, 2008

Currently I’m developing a webservice interface for queue handling in Asterisk towards another company, that is developing a CRM solution which will utilize my webservice for Computer Telephony Integration (CTI).

So, today the developer in the other company got such an understanding of the service that he started suggesting changes. A lot of changes in the DTD etc. These changes would imply some changes in the architecture downwards in the system. It is quite scary to start tearing things apart, when you already got something working. That is, if you don’t have a large amount of unittests.

Luckily I had good unittest coverage. So changing stuff was really just a matter of changing the tests, do fit the proposed changes. Test to see where I needed to change something. Do the changes and run the tests again.

It feels very good to have proper knowledge that everything actually works properly after a refactoring like this.

Unit testing is like love. It’ll keep you going when everything else fails. (citation)

WeSIP seems like an interesting project, or at least there might be built lots of interesting applications on top of it. WeSIP is for SIP what Jboss, Tomcat and others are for HTTP.

For the uninitiated, SIP stands for Session Initiation Protocol, and is used to set up sessions for VoIP, games, IM and more. The SIP protocol is very similar to another successful protocol you might have heard of, http.

Nokia N800 er på tross av at den kommer fra Nokia ikke en mobiltelefon… Men den kan visst fungere som en telefonsentral (PBX)

After I read about Skype on Stians weblog and another friend of me told me that skype was cool, I just had to test it out

I had a bit trouble making it work with my soundcard on Linux, but it works, and its really cool.

My skype username is (as usual) elzapp
