Regular Expression Examples

When using regular expressions (a very brief description):

• .* = (any character)
• $ = end of line
• ^ = start of line
• \1 first group in replacement.

Example:
Text: Hello my friend
Search for: (.*) my (.*)
Replace with: \2 is \1
Result: friend is hello

Javascript: Show all properties for an object

I would like to see all the properties of a given object.

OK - Here you go:

     function popUpProperties(inobj) {
        op = window.open();
        op.document.open('text/plain');
        for (objprop in inobj) {
        op.document.write(objprop + ' => ' + inobj[objprop] + '\n');
        }
        op.document.close();
    }

Ex.:

popUpProperties(document.forms[0]);

Nice...

Agile Testing: Should acceptance tests be included in the continuous build process?

The article discusses what kind of test that's needed in a project, and what the differences are between the different kind of tests.

Here's some hightlights:

Unit tests run fast. If they don't run fast, they aren't unit tests.

Other kinds of tests often masquerade as unit tests. A test is not a unit test if:

• It talks to a database.
• It communicates across a network.
• It touches the file system.
• You have to do special things to your environment (such as editing configuration files) to run it.
