The BileBlog is a great new blog with excellent Java-related content, very funny in some parts and very true in others. I share Hani's dislike for Maven actually... It's now in my daily reads list, but I thought I'd mention it here for good.
Definitions of tests
[2008-10-22 15:28:10]
Unit tests prove that the code does what the developer's want it to do, i.e. there are no defects.
Acceptance tests determine that the code does what the customer wants it to do, i.e. the features are sufficient.
Exploratory tests (traditional QA) determine that the code doesn't do what the customer and engineers don't want it to do, i.e. there are no bugs.
