People get ready there's a testing train a comin'

I am big into test driven development, couldn't get my head round it at first, but I think I have got the hang of it.

For anything I intend to write I first think of a test, write the test and then write the code. It's fab. As you go along you build up a lovely test harness that always gives you confidence that your code is solid whenever you make a change.

Junit is a utility that supports TDD in java and a fella has even had a go in Lotusscript. In the notes environment I can see an agent that tests all the classes in a set of script libraries, it may be more tricky with the UI. Although these tools are handy I reckon you could adopt the approach without them.

Really it's a revelation ... hell, I think I am ready to testify

SMS to Domino and Back and other stuff

SMS to domino and back is all rather easy it turns out. All you need is a service provider like itsArrived.net, they will (for a fee) supply you with a number to send you SMS messages to. Once you've got your number you can easily configure it online to POST the SMS messages thru to another URL, in my case a domino ?openAgent; it's all rather nobby.

Other service providers like iTagg will provide short numbers for texting , so you can do your own Pop Idol votes ;-). Bango.net are another.
