Test driven development (TDD) is emerging as one of the most successful developer productivity enhancing techniques to be recently discovered. The three-step: write test, write code, refactor – is a dance many of us are enjoying. This site is dedicated to promoting techniques, tools, and general good will in the test-driven community.
PyDev is a plugin that enables users to use Eclipse for Python and Jython development -- making Eclipse a first class Python IDE -- It comes with many goodies such as code completion, syntax highlighting, syntax analysis, refactor, debug and many others. If you want more details on the provided features, you can check here.
Codestriker is an open-sourced web application which supports online code reviewing. Traditional document reviews are supported, as well as reviewing diffs generated by an SCM (Source Code Management) system and plain unidiff patches. There are integration points with CVS, Subversion, Clearcase, Perforce, Visual SourceSafe and Bugzilla. There is a plug-in architecture for supporting other SCMs and issue tracking systems.
The vb2Py project is developing a suite of conversion tools to aid in translating existing Visual Basic projects into Python.
The conversion includes,
· VB code modules translating to Python code modules
· VB classes to Python classes
· VB Forms to PythonCard forms
· VB Projects to PythonCard projects
For those of you who've got into it you'll know that test driven development is great. It gives you the confidence to change code safe in the knowledge that if something breaks you'll know about it. Except for those bits you don't know how to test. Until now XML has been one of them. Oh sure you can use "<stuff></stuff>".equals("<stuff></stuff>"); but is that really gonna work when some joker decides to output a <stuff/>? -- damned right it's not ;-)
Canoo WebTest is a free open source tool for automated testing of web applications.
It calls web pages and verifies results, giving comprehensive reports on success and failure. The White Paper provides an overview of the features and the design rationale. Detailed information is provided in the Manual Overview as well as the Install and Troubleshooting guides.
SVM-JAVA, developed for research and educational purpose, is a Java implementation of John C. Platt's sequential minimal optimization (SMO) for training a support vector machine (SVM). This program is based on the pseudocode in "Fast Training of Support Vector Machines using Sequential Minimal Optimization" by John C. Platt and in "Sequential Minimal Optimization for SVM" by Xianping Ge. It currently supports linear and RBF kernels.
Weka 3: Data Mining Software in Java
Weka is a collection of machine learning algorithms for data mining tasks. The algorithms can either be applied directly to a dataset or called from your own Java code. Weka contains tools for data pre-processing, classification, regression, clustering, association rules, and visualization. It is also well-suited for developing new machine learning schemes.
