摘要: JUnit
JUnit是由 Erich Gamma 和 Kent Beck 编写的一个回归测试框架（regression testing framework）。Junit测试是程序员测试，即所谓白盒测试，因为程序员知道被测试的软件如何（How）完成功能和完成什么样（What）的功能。Junit是一套框架，继承TestCase类，就可以用Junit进行自动测试了。

摘要: Have you wondered why certain programs are located under /bin, or /sbin, or /usr/bin, or /usr/sbin?
For example, less command is located under /usr/bin directory. Why not /bin, or /sbin, or /usr/sbin? What is the different between all these directories?
In this article, let us review the Linux filesystem structures and understand the meaning of individual high-level directories

摘要: 软件测试的十二个误区大体总结如下：
1) 测试人员不需要了解软件开发的知识：
这个很要命的，我们谈到软件测试人员未来的发展方向大致有：自动化测试，性能测试，测试管理，项目经理。这其中自动化测试和性能测试包括项目管理，都会要求对软件开发有深入的理解，如何能设计一个好的自动化框架，好的性能测试用例，如何管理一个开发团队，这都需要我们在软件开发方面有所掌握。不单要掌握，而且要精通。此其一。
其二：如果不了解开发知识，测试人员很容易被开发人员牵着鼻子走，因为开发人员随便一忽悠，你如果不了解个中奥妙，你一个字也说不上来。(以前我们讨论 Cookie和Session，由于GoAhead不支持Session，只能用Cookie来控制，差点别开发人员忽悠了)

摘要: The Monkey is a command-line tool that that you can run on any emulator instance or on a device. It sends a pseudo-random stream of user events into the system, which acts as a stress test on the application software you are developing.
The Monkey includes a number of options, but they break down into four primary categories:
Basic configuration options, such as setting the number of events to attempt.
Operational constraints, such as restricting the test to a single packag

摘要: The list below defines some of the basic terminology of the Android platform.
.apk file
Android application package file. Each Android application is compiled and packaged in a single file that includes all of the application's code (.dex files), resources, assets, and manifest file. The application package file can have any name but must use the .apk extension. For example: myExampleAppname.apk. For convenience, an application package file is often referred to as an ".apk".

摘要: The Bloom filter, conceived by Burton Howard Bloom in 1970, is a space-efficient probabilistic data structure that is used to test whether an element is a member of a set.False positivesare possible, but false negatives are not. Elements can be added to the set, but not removed (though this can be addressed with a counting filter). The more elements that are added to the set, the larger the probability of false positives

摘要: These posts have garnered a number of interesting comments. I want to address two of the negative ones in this post. Both are of the same general opinion that I am abandoning testers and that Google is not a nice place to ply this trade. I am puzzled by these comments because nothing could be further from the truth. One such negative comment I can take as a one-off but two smart people (hey they are reading this blog, right?) having this impression requires a rebuttal. Here are the comments:

摘要: One of the key ways Google achieves good results with fewer testers than many companies is that we rarely attempt to ship a large set of features at once. In fact, the exact opposite is often the goal: build the core of a product and release it the moment it is useful to as large a crowd as feasible, then get their feedback and iterate. This is what we did with Gmail, a product that kept its beta tag for four years. That tag was our warning to users that it was still being perfected. We removed

摘要: Android applications are, at least on the T-Mobile G1, limited to 16 MB of heap. It's both a lot of memory for a phone and yet very little for what some developers want to achieve. Even if you do not plan on using all of this memory, you should use as little as possible to let other applications run without getting them killed. The more applications Android can keep in memory, the faster it will be for the user to switch between his apps. As part of my job, I ran into memory leaks issues in Andr

摘要: Dependency injection asks us to separate the new operators from the application logic. This separation forces your code to have factories which are responsible for wiring your application together. However, better than writing factories, we want to use automatic dependency injection such as GUICE to do the wiring for us. But can DI really save us from all of the new operators?

I’ve had a number of questions about the SET role and it seems I have confused folks when I say that the SWE is a tester and the SET is a tester and at the same time the SWE is a developer and the SET is a developer. What could possibly be confusing about that?
Oh, yeah. Right.
My next series of posts are going to detail the role of the SET and all will eventually be clear but some clarification on career path seems worthwhile.
SETs are developers who write test code and automation as their primary task. They are in every sense of the word a developer. When we interview SETs, SWEs are on the interview loop and SWE questions are asked. They are not all of the interview, but they are part of it.
This means that the skill set that our SETs possess makes them perfect candidates for switching to the SWE role. There is neither incentive nor deterrent to do so. SETs and SWEs are on the same pay scale and bonus structure (I have both roles reporting to me so I have real visibility into salary data) and their promotion velocity (again based on actual data) is roughly equivalent. This means that SETs have no outside influences to prompt them one way or the other.
The key factor is really the type of work you are doing. SETs who find themselves involved in SWE work usually convert to SWE. SWEs are also drawn in the opposite direction. Much of this happens through our 20% time work. Any SET interested in SWE work can take on a 20% task doing feature development. Any SWE interested in automation can find a group and sign up for a 20%. Right now I have both SWEs and SETs involved in such cross pollination.
The ideal situation is that the title reflects the actual work that you are involved in. So if an SET starts doing more feature dev work than automation, he or she should convert, same for SWEs doing automation work. In my time here, conversions in both directions have happened, but it is not all that common. The work of both roles is engaging, interesting and intense. Few Googlers are walking around bored.
Bottom line: do the work you are passionate about and capable of and the right job title will find you.
一、概念
静态分派（Static Dispatch），发生在编译时期，分派是根据静态类型信息发生的，方法重载就是静态分派。
动态分派（Dynamic Dispatch），发生在运行时期，动态分派动态地置换掉某个方法。面向对象的语言用动态分派实现多态性。
Java语言支持静态多分派和动态的单分派，利用设计模式Java可以实现Double Dispatch，即访问者模式。
二、Visitor Pattern
目的：封装一些施加于某种数据结构元素之上的操作。
UML图：
主要原理：“反传球”，Element来Visitor之间二轮调用，调用过程中用sinlge dispatch确定类型

摘要: A synchronization aid that allows a set of threads to all wait for each other to reach a common barrier point. CyclicBarriers are useful in programs involving a fixed sized party of threads that must occasionally wait for each other. The barrier is called cyclic because it can be re-used after the waiting threads are released.

文章描述了实现 Multithreaded Servers的3种方法：
1）单线程，性能性差，请求等待时间长
2）多线程，把接受请求和处理请求的线程分开，接受后交给 worker处理
3）线程池，性能最佳，有效地防止负载过重，重复利用线程，请求多时，让请求排队接收处理
4）主要用socket来通信， ServerSocket 和 Socket

摘要: 软件模块之间总是存在着一定的接口，从调用方式上，可以把他们分为三类：同步调用、回调和异步调用。
同步调用是一种阻塞式调用，调用方要等待对方执行完毕才返回，它是一种单向调用，如HTTP；
回调是一种双向调用模式，也就是说，被调用方在接口被调用时也会调用对方的接口；
异步调用是一种类似消息或事件的机制，不过它的调用方向刚好相反，接口的服务在收到某种讯息或发生某种事件时，会主动通知客户方（即调用客户方的接口），如JMS；
