::: L I N K S F O R T H E D A Y ::: Today's news on the web: http://freshmeat.net/daily/2007/03/03/ freshmeat.net newsgroup: news://news.freshmeat.net/fm.announce --- --.- -.-- - ...--.----- ..--- --.- -.-. . -------- --- ::: A R T I C L E S (1) ::: Definitions and Benefits of Statement, Branch, and Path Coverage by Joe Ponczak and John Miller (mailto:[email protected]) Section: Tutorials Sat, Mar 3rd 2007 00:00 Code coverage is a way to measure the level of testing you've performed on your software. Gathering coverage metrics is a straightforward process: instrument your code and run your tests against the instrumented version. This produces data showing what code you did -- or, more importantly, did not -- execute. Coverage is the perfect complement to unit testing: unit tests tell you if your code performed as expected, and code coverage tells you what remains to be tested.

In contrast to standard diff, it will show the number of the record where the difference occurs, the column number, and (if provided) the fieldname which is different. The separator can be set to any value you want, not just a comma. It also provides support for multiple column keys, the ability to ignore case and trim leading/tailing spaces, and the ability to ignore selected columns such as timestamps. Changes: Colored output is only available for Linux, so now there is a check to determine the system on which csvdiff is running. The closing " <" was missing for comparison without keys. The ignore spelling option was ignored for comparison without key columns. The trim spaces option was ignored for comparison without key columns.

Current features include 99% 6510 CPU emulation and fat 6581 SID emulation including filters (which sound different to other players). It has nothing to do with other projects such as SIDPlay, and the 6510/6581 emulation is based on routines by Tammo Hinrichs that have been further developed.

Such ASCII equivalents are useful for entering Unicode in program source or in programs that are not 8-bit safe, and for testing and debugging. Several options allow Unicode to be converted to approximately equivalent ASCII, e.g. by stripping diacritics. An optional GUI is provided. Changes: Both programs now complain about unrecognized format specifications instead of crashing. The pattern matches for exemplars of three missing formats have been added.

It was born out of a desire for an elegant, well-architectured personal publishing system, and is the official successor to b2/cafelog. While primarily geared towards functioning as a Weblog, it is also a flexible CMS capable of managing many types of Web sites. In addition to the basic Weblog functions, it also has an integrated link manager (e.g. for blogrolls), XFN support, support for "static" pages, Atom and RSS feeds for both content and comments, XML-RPC blogging API support (Blogger, MetaWeblog, and Movable Type APIs), spam blocking features, advanced cruft-free URL generation, a flexible theme system, and an advanced plugin API. Changes: An attacker modified files in the 2.1.1 download archive recently. All WordPress users who have installed version 2.1.1 are advised to upgrade to version 2.1.2 immediately. More details are available in the main wordpress.org development blog.
