The 6.3 release of EiffelStudio will come with a new testing tool combining unit and system level testing. The tool is currently under development but is already capable of managing, creating and executing tests. At this point I would like to give a short overview on what has been implemented, how to tool is used and what functionality will be added in the upcoming weeks.

Dear all:

we have just released CDD (short for Contract Driven Development) for EiffelStudio Beta1. CDD brings full unit test support (including IDE integration) to EiffelStudio. It adds support for a novel kind of test cases, so called extracted test cases: when an exception is thrown it automatically creates a new test case which is able to reproduce the observed failure.

A couple of days ago we setup an automatic build and testing system for our development of Origo. We used CruiseControl as the base of the system. CruiseControl does check if there were any changes to the source code and launches a build.

Hi everybody!

As you may have noticed we are bringing significant changes to the software process at Eiffel Software, reflecting the new nature of the development, our commitment to addressing user needs quickly and effectively, and the growing involvement of open-source contributors.
