name: Fit_for_Developing_Software isbn: 0321269349 title: Fit for Developing Software author: Rick Mugridge author: Ward Cunningham publisher: Prentice Hall year: 2005 start: 2005-11-26 stop: 2005-12-15
The book was OK. It is kinda strange, the first half is for non-technical people, like business analysts and such, and teaches them to organize tests and test data into tables and HTML pages. Then, about half-way through, it finally starts to address the technical issues regarding how you realize those tables with supporting Java code. The last few chapters go into more details about the architecture of FIT and the flow between some of the pieces. The book talks a lot about FIT and much less about FitNesse.
It so happens that I saw a presentation by Rick Mugridge on 2006-02-09. He spent most of the time extolling the virtues of testing. I would have liked to get more details about how FIT is implemented and the lifecycle of various objects. I guess it wasn't that kind of talk.
It is not my favorite book of all times, but it is the only one on FIT at this time.
