		<description><![CDATA[I have just published a review of the book &#8220;Practical Unit Testing with TestNG and Mockito&#8221; written by Tomek Kaczanowski. For a full disclosure, Tomek has written an article about TestNG in the last issue of Methods &#38; Tools and will contribute another article on Mockito in our upcoming Summer issue that will be published in June.
This being said, I was a little curious of what I will be able to grasp and take out of his book as I am not primary a Java programmer. The book has however ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I spent one day last week at the Excellence in Software Engineering (ESE) Conference in Zurich. This conference is aimed at professionals involved in decisions regarding software development processes, methods and technologies. The 2012 edition proposed three tracks: Agile and Lean, Cloud Computing and Mobile Applications. Presentations were in German or in English. Here is a brief summary of the sessions I attended.
Elizabeth Woodward of IBM presented a keynote about introducing Agility in a large organization. Her talk was mainly an introduction to Agile with some promotion of the &#8220;Disciplined ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The last Methods &#38; Tools poll asked the following question: “Does your project use a software tool to plan, estimate and track project activities?” The good news is that most of the participants use a tool to manage their software development projects as only 19,5% operate without software. We should however note that the absence of software tools isn&#8217;t always synonym of poor project management practices. Agile recommends collocated project teams and face to face communication. In this context, physical visual boards and paper cards can be used for the ...]]></description>

This can be considered as a simple question and you might start with some simple answers like &#8220;for company X&#8221; if you are an employee or &#8220;for myself&#8221; if you are freelance. If you work as a consultant or an outsourcer, you could also name your customer, the people that pay you or your company to develop their software. It is however less obvious that you will think of your &#8220;internal&#8221; customers and say that as a software developer you are working for the ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;If the layered style is the most common targeted style [in software architecture], the big ball of mud style is perhaps the one most often actually achieved. It is characterized by the absence of any evident structure, or perhaps vestiges of now-eroded structure. Also typical is promiscuous sharing of information, sometimes to the extent that data structures become effectively global. Although the module, runtime, or allocation organization can be a mess, it often starts in the module viewtype and spreads elsewhere. Repairs and maintenance are expedient and resemble crude patches ...]]></description>
