What are the odds that two books from the same author, ordered from different sites, on different dates – both arrive at my door within 30 seconds, with two different methods of delivery?

My son picked up the Delphi High Performance book from Packt.com in our mailbox, walked in to my office and dropped it off, and seconds later – there is a UPS delivery guy ringing my doorbell, carrying the OTL book from Lulu.com:)

Looking forward to delving in deep, now.

Test case management

Test case management

What kind of test case management tools do you use? I am primarily looking for enterprise level tools that support large teams and multiple concurrent projects / test plans, both for automated and manual testing, and that integrates well with other tools, such as Jira.

After having looked at most of the major translation tools for Delphi, the conclusion is:

– They all suck in different ways

– Those with visual tools, crash in different ways

– They are not really VCS friendly at all

– Team support is mostly not present

– Documentation is either near non-existent, incomplete, or outdated

– Prices go from “free”, to affordable to ridiculously expensive

There seems there is no bleeding edge tool here – only a lot of blood, sweat and tears – for the user of the tool.

Currently dabbling with VS 2017.

Currently dabbling with VS 2017.3 and Linux – on the Raspberry. Maaan, my C++ is rusty! I miss Delphi in more ways than one. Tokyo is way smarter about third party libs in Linux than VS.

Does any of you use speech recognition tools for writing code? I. E. Dragon and similar?

I had this dream where I could talk to the IDE, and it was way smarter than just taking literal text input. I could talk to it like an AI, and say “add a private property string to the class, named “something” with setter but no getter. Initialize it in create to empty string.”

Now I can’t stop thinking about having such an IDE.
