The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Thanks Thorbjørn! I already found
http://www.rpgunit.org/ which is sort
of like JUnit, but more for RPG. I have been spending a lot of time on
various XP and Scrum mailing lists so I'm familiar with TDD.
I don't know if a discussion of TDD with RPG is on topic for this list
exactly, but I will say that TDD has much more merit in greenfield
(brand new) development. When one has a monolithic application of the
'load, sort, print' paradigm, it is very difficult to isolate code to do
TDD because one database input record will fire many separate pieces of
the monolith.
Perhaps if WDSC had a refactoring tool that could operate on RPG, we
might see more TDD in the RPG community. SOmething to think about
working on in my not so copious spare time :-)
