xUnit Test Patterns : first impressions

I started reading xUnit Test Patterns by Gerard Meszaros over the weekend, and I've been really impressed with it so far. I'm having a very similar experience to when I first read Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture by Martin Fowler. It's the sudden realization that other people have had to face your exact same problems, and they've come up some pretty elegant solutions. 

Also similar to PEA, xUnit Test Patterns is valuable for experienced development teams in that it names patterns you've been using for a while. Instead of saying, "Remember how we had that setup SQL script for that big search test on that one project," you can say, "Let's use the Back Door Manipulation pattern to setup our data." 

I'm only about 100 pages in; I'll try to provide a full review when I finish/decide I've read enough.

I hope that you have been able to combat the spam because at the moment it is something that is making me stay away from BE. Проститутки Киева

Advertising may be described as the science of arresting the human intelligence long enough to get money from it

Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your thoughts?  I mean, what you say is important and everything.  But its got no punch, no pop!  Maybe if you added a pic or two, a video?  You could have such a more powerful blog if you let people SEE what youre talking about instead of just reading it.

What I wouldnt give to learn how you got your design to be so amazing!  I mean it.  Besides the blog just being awesome, this page is too sweet!  Its not too flashy.  It doesnt do too much with colours and things and the videos you use are perfect for this topic!  Really, awesome blog.

Good luck getting people behind this one.  Though you make some VERY fascinating points, youre going to have to do more than bring up a few things that may be different than what weve already heard.  What are trying to say here?  What do you want us to think?  It seems like you cant really get behind a unique thought.  Anyway, thats just my opinion.
