Piotr's R&D blog

This morning, after watching the rather good Lewis & Clark movie at the arch, I came back to get an informal demo of the Continuous Testing plugin for Eclipse. The concept is really simple: it does for JUnit tests what the Eclipse compiler did for Java source code. Tests are automatically executed in the background as code changes, and errors reported in the standard Eclipse problems pane. You can offload running the tests to another box if your development machine doesn't have enough oomph to handle it comfortably while you're coding. I'll be installing it as soon as I get home, and if you write any Java in Eclipse, so should you!
